Goodluck to all still waiting to meet their precious ones. And congrats to all the August babies here already. How did we do without them?!

Sorry for the radio silence!

I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl weighing 8lb 15oz on Monday after a 1hr 45min labour. Didn't have time for pain relief so I was adamant I'd ripped in half 😂. She was also back to back which was fantastic 😭. Poor girl had a bit of a traumatic entrance, cord was wrapped round her neck so didn't breath for a while but she's all good now.

Hope everyone is doing well xx

Due August?

She is beautiful! I am still very much pregnant.

Got all my batch cooking done today though and lots of food bought for freezer.

An hour and 45 minutes??? Is this your first?

PhoebeBear · 16/08/2019 17:44

@bakingbabyv she's lovely! Mine weighed the same, wish the labour lasted like yours though- 23 and a half hours for me 😣
Congrats! ❤️

greystar30 · 16/08/2019 18:13

Ahhh @bakingbabyv She's gorgeous 🥰 congratulations!

bakingbabyv · 17/08/2019 07:00

Thank you ladies 🥰 second baby @Snowflake9. I had a 5hr labour with my first so they told me to go in as soon as I had contractions with this one but didn't think it would be that quick! Hang in there it won't be long 😘

@PhoebeBear labour is so bloody hard but so worth it at the end. Hope you're okay ❤️

Snap!! bakingbabyv
My boy was 8lbs 15 also!! Grin and he was 50cm.

Due August?

Anyone else now overdue and fed up?? 😩

ZazuMoon · 23/08/2019 18:30

My son arrived this week, a couple of days earlier than his planned section date and after a few hours of very quickly progressing labour I had an emergency section. Very pleased he's here safely. Thinking of all those who are still waiting ☺

greystar30 · 23/08/2019 18:47

Congratulations @ZazuMoon 💙

ZazuMoon · 23/08/2019 21:09

@greystar30 thank you and I hope you don't have to wait much longer. ☺ the last couple of weeks of pregnancy are such a drag.

Snowflake9 · 23/08/2019 21:39

My due date is Monday. I am currently not speaking to DH.

Shahlalala · 24/08/2019 07:12

Oh no @Snowflake9 ..... we are on frosty terms because everything DH does makes me want to hit him. I was due last Saturday and so sick of him asking if today is the day, how should be plan his workload. Angry

Shahlalala · 24/08/2019 07:12

As if I’m crossing my legs to be difficult and make everyone wait.

Snowflake9 · 26/08/2019 23:07

@Shahlalala - exactly!! My DH when is this baby coming? I have (reels off workload) to get done.

"It's not an Amazon delivery babe. I don't know!!"

"How long will you be in labour how long will I need to be at the hospital?"

40 weeks today, had my bloody show on Saturday. Going midwife tomorrow. She will.offer a sweep. I kind of want baby to stay in a little while longer as I want to get a few more things done!

Snowflake9 · 26/08/2019 23:09

Also. The world and it's Mrs has text me I am sure of if.

"Any news?"

"Any sign of baby?"

Like family members we hardly hear from, I feel like saying "baby was born 3 weeks ago, just forgot to tell you! Silly me!" Just to see their reaction

ZazuMoon · 27/08/2019 05:40

Surely it can't be long now? Thinking of you all who are still waiting. Come on stubborn babies- it's September this week! 😀

greystar30 · 27/08/2019 07:39

Hahahaha @Snowflake9 I'm getting the same!

40+5 now and no sign of baby. Unable to have a sweep due to polyhydramnious and cord prolapse risk 🙄 got a growth scan later today and then hopefully a consultant appointment to make a plan...

Snowflake9 · 27/08/2019 08:40

Is it sad that I am more excited about my new hoover arriving today?? So much so I have pushed the prospect of having a baby to the back of my mind. Haha.

Snowflake9 · 27/08/2019 08:40

Good luck at your scan!

Snowflake9 · 27/08/2019 13:32

So sweep was unsuccessful. She could touch my cervix but couldn't reach it to do s&s. Thinks it's thinning though and starting to dilate.

My DH was like. Surely she must know when it's coming? I was like, no. No one knows. He wasn't convinced and was sure that she knew and I wasn't telling him.

Corrrrr.. wish everyone would do one and let this baby comes when it comes!!!!

greystar30 · 28/08/2019 08:57

How's your new hoover @Snowflake9 😂

Your DH sounds about as patient as my DP 🤦🏼‍♀️

My scan went well, the fluid had reduced so they were able to do a sweep, I'm 2cm dilated, having another one tomorrow and being induced Friday if no baby by then. Hopefully she comes before as I've read being induced is more painful 😬

Snowflake9 · 31/08/2019 10:58

Reckon I am going to need to join a September thread now... No sign of baby yet. T+5 today. Livid.
