Hia everyone, keen to find out how you are all getting on and if little one has arrived yet? I'm currently still waiting patiently as our due date isnt for another 11 days. Some slight pain, lots of BH but nothing to make me think it's all beginning.

How about you guys?

@finchers ooh that sounds very positive - maybe I’ll get the hoover out tomorrow then in the hopes it speeds things along!

mrsed1987 · 15/01/2019 20:15

Well i had my little boy at 4.41am so i was right! Lol. Amazing.

rach2713 · 15/01/2019 20:23

Have been contracting all day on and off still nothing was kinda hoping today but doesn't look like it. Ended up fallen asleep at 3 this afternoon as the tiredness got to me but still getting contractions just need them to be more regular ..

@mrsed1987 congratulations on your little boy! Flowers

Hi everyone, congratulations to some of you!! Hope some more of you may be on the way now?

I was due on Jan 13th, but absolutely no signs of imminent arrival yet! Feeling OK, but the "when's it going to be...?" suspense is beginning to get to me today... it's my 4th (1st was 6 days overdue, 2nd was 10 days overdue, 3rd was 2 days early) so part of the excitement is the logistics of making sure the other 3 are all sorted when something finally does happen (have spent far more time organising possible plans of action/laying out clothes etc for them than packing my own bag....)

Cariadxx · 16/01/2019 13:18

@finchers I've been cleaning all day.... hoping I can trick my body into thinking it's time!!

needanappp · 16/01/2019 13:21

@Cariadxx hahaha I went mad with the mop yesterday thinking it would help 😂

Trying to relax because "she'll come when she's ready" but time seems to be going so slowly!

Don35 · 16/01/2019 13:31

I have been nesting everyday in the hope my little man will make an appearance, but still nothing. 40+5 at the moment. Sweep didn't work, even though mw said baby is ready. I'm so envious of everyone that has had their babies already.

Curlypop · 16/01/2019 14:59

Had my baby girl 9am yesterday. So in love 😍

halpert · 16/01/2019 15:33

@Curlypop CONGRATULATIONS GrinThanksCake

Olivecake · 16/01/2019 15:38

Congratulations Curly and mrsed! So happy for you both 🎉

Did lots of cleaning, washing, organising all day so hoping the baby gets the hint that we are ready now!

Troika · 16/01/2019 15:47

40+6 here
Uncomfortable, sick, and unable to sleep but not even a twinge. So fed up.

PicassoWouldBeProud · 16/01/2019 16:29

40+4. Have already had two sweeps and was told I'm 1cm dilated but they don't seem to have done anything productive, have another one tomorrow and I'm dreading it because the last one was quite painful.

I'm being induced on Monday if nothing happens and I'm so up and down at the moment, this waiting and feeling of inevitability is very difficult to deal with, I just need it to happen now!

Thamantha · 16/01/2019 16:39

I'm hoping the fundal height measurement is waaaay off as at 38+4 it is estimating this kid is already 9lbs.

Been on the birthing ball all afternoon in the hopes that it starts something, as the midwife is starting to talk about sweeps and i would rather wait until this one is ready to come out (though i am hoping that is sooner rather than later).

Going to try tidying up tomorrow in the hopes that if everything is clean and ready then they will get the hint :D

Cariadxx · 16/01/2019 16:49

I've tidied all day and walked the dogs.....nada.

I'm hoping this weekend's full moon and eclipse might be the trigger!

rach2713 · 16/01/2019 21:22

Hey i had my baby girl at 9.34 this morning after nearly two days of contractions.

Thought we weren't going to make it and husband was going to have to catch her lol but it all ended up good I was 40+3 ..

Jayrita · 16/01/2019 21:48

Congratulations everyone on having your beautiful babies... I'v been having contractions since 4:30am Tuesday they have been getting stronger but totally random timings. Hospital have told me not to go in till contractions are 2 mins apart.. iv had my bloody show which was very bloody..(sorry for TMI) I had a midwife appointment today was suppose to have a sweep but she said it's best to let it happen naturally as I'm already contracting.. have not had any sleep for two days I am absolutely exhausted and I hav'nt started the important part yet... just want the little one here now.... My due date is tomorrow Confused

sirmione16 · 16/01/2019 22:25

Exciting to see births happening!! Congrats!!

39weeks tomorrow, already had 2 sweeps which have done nothing except release mucus (sorry if TMI) ultimately got induction next week but they want me to have more sweeps up until then, I'm not going to bother I don't think, just a waste of time and money going to and from.

At least I know there's an end in sight in 7 days if not before. Let's keep pushing, ladies! (Some literally, some not soGrin)

halpert · 16/01/2019 23:38

@rach2713 congratulations Thanks so glad you and your daughter are well!

needanappp · 17/01/2019 14:23

@rach2713 congratulations on your little girl! Took her time but she came out in the end haha! Grin

Nearly 6 hours of contractions this morning and now they've just died off completely Sad might start doing some jumping jacks to see if they'll start up again haha!

ladydanger · 17/01/2019 16:09

I'm 39 weeks now but no signs whatsoever... definitely well and truly ready for her to make an appearance now! I've been 2/5ths engaged since 37 weeks but hasn't budged past that since... really hoping I'm not overdue :(
