@YorkshireIndie been checked I am exactly the same 😭 I just knew this would happen! Now they are trying to decide whether to give me more gel but iv had this in for 8 hours now and its done nothing so I think they need to hurry up make a decision and stop leaving me! 🙃

Woo @HJWT! Looking forward to hearing your next update with baby pictures!

gkeal3 · 13/10/2019 21:27

Good luck @HJWT so exciting!

I'm still here, still pregnant, 39+1 and no signs yet. Labour had started with my last baby by now so I'm feeling a bit fed up. The anxiety of not knowing when it will happen is driving me mad, feel on edge everyday thinking will today be the day. Desperate to meet our baby but I know he/she will come when ready.
Hope everyone is hanging in there too, we've got this! 🖤

SunshineSophia · 13/10/2019 21:57

@secretlyhermione tell me about it! So ready for the baby to be here... partly just to stop all the "any news??" Text messages every day!!

@hjwt so exciting for you!!! Hope baby doesn't take too long to get here 🥰

cattaxi · 13/10/2019 22:12

No idea how I’m going to sleep tonight. Nerves + excitement are too much!
Hope you had a relaxing evening @KatnissK. I was in tears saying goodnight to ds. I know I will, but it’s so hard to imagine loving another one as much as I love him.

I’ve had really sore boobs the past few days @secretlyhermione. Hormones are raging!

Hooray for progress @HJWT! Good luck!

SC0508 · 13/10/2019 23:12

Sorry for the silence but today was definitely not what we expected!

Called back to hospital around 3pm as was feeling reduced movements and was told to come in, just before I left DS gave me a cuddle and all of a sudden I felt a pop and ran to bathroom, waters had broken 😂. Got to hospital to be told every time I was contracting baby heartbeat was dropping but soon fixed itself and was 4cm dilated by 4ish. Was taken to labour ward at 6pm to be told I couldn't go in pool as it was taken plus with baby heartbeat they wanted to continue to trace it throughout birth, just as heartbeat was dropping again and they went to insert something to track baby from his head, I started pushing and he was born by 19:10 our baby boy was born with just gas and air and daddy continuously reminding mummy that she can do it and that he was super proud of her, baby Zac was born weighing 7lb 4oz 51cm tall and is doing amazing. We unfortunately have to stay the night due to the time he was born so I've sent daddy home for some rest and hopefully we are out first thing. Midwives was amazing and let my parents and son come meet Zac just after birth which was so lovely of them.

Congratulations @SC0508 you'll be out nice and fast in the morning I'm sure.
What a cutie!!

YorkshireIndie · 14/10/2019 00:39

Congratulations @SC0508! He looks like an angel!

Setting my seat out for the wide awake club. Stupidity had a nap at 7pm which has destroyed any chance of me getting to sleep. On the plus side - I now have smooth legs! At 40wks pregnant I may not be able to cut my toenails but I can still shave my legs!

SC0508 · 14/10/2019 00:56

@Frizzy1986 thank you, really hoping so DS can't wait to have us home along with daddy ❤️

@YorkshireIndie thank you, my legs was definitely not shaved 😂 I somehow managed to cut my toenails but my legs I just never got around to 😂, hopefully u manage to get some sleep tonight. Don't think I will be sleeping either can't stop staring at baby to make sure he is ok such a paranoid wreck, guess that's what us mums do best worry!

Congratulations @SC0508! He’s adorable! Those cheeks 😍 I hope you both get home ASAP.

I barely slept last night. My mind was in overdrive! I can’t believe I’ll have a newborn keeping me awake tonight!

Good luck today @KatnissK!

secretlyhermione · 14/10/2019 06:43

Congratulations @SC0508!! What a cutie and what a fast labour as well!!
@SunshineSophia yes I hear you, those texts are constant for me too and I haven't even reached my due date yet!!
@cattaxi glad I'm not the only one!! Good luck today you'll meet your baby very soon!
I was feeling some mild cramping for about an hour last night and was hoping the full moon would do its job but it petered out after an hour and then nothing. @gkeal3 I feel the same way, so anxious and constantly thinking is today the day?? It's also my first so have nothing to compare it too so it's just a waiting game which at 39+4 weeks is getting harder every day!
Planning an admin day today to keep busy, looking forward to hearing the other baby updates!!

userabcname · 14/10/2019 07:01

@SC0508 congratulations! He's gorgeous!
Thanks @cattaxi - you too! Am at the hospital now!

Frizzy1986 · 14/10/2019 07:03

Good luck to everyone today

SC0508 · 14/10/2019 07:04

Good luck to everyone having babies today 😀

I managed to get some sleep in between feeds and just staring at baby 😂 hopefully be getting released soon so we can go home to daddy and DS, my dog slept by the front door all night crying for me so will be glad to get home and give her some cuddles too 😀

Hope everyone has a great day!

Maryrobinson81 · 14/10/2019 08:29

Congratulations @SC0508! What a gorgeous boy.
Good luck today @KatnissK and @cattaxi.
Due date for me today!
Hope everyone else is ok and not too fed up waiting.

YorkshireIndie · 14/10/2019 08:48

Good luck @cattaxi. Looking forward to pictures!

@SC0508 hope you get discharged today! Finally fell asleep but woke up at 8am because the cleaner arrived and the dogs where barking 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know what you mean @secretlyhermione! Going to spend the day emptying out the random crap that has appeared in the cot (perfect dumping ground) and confirming deliveries etc

Positivity86 · 14/10/2019 09:09

@SC0508 huge congratulations, he is gorgeous!!

@cattaxi and @KatnissK best of luck to you both today, how exciting 😊

I still have so much pressure in my groin and upper thighs, it's getting hard to walk! Does anyone else have this? I'm 39 weeks on Wednesday.

Cantthinkofanameeee · 14/10/2019 11:09

Good luck @HJWT and congrats to the new babys!!We are all at the end now! Smile

HJWT · 14/10/2019 12:16

Well everyone after a very good labour & delivery (hormone drip and only gas&air) things took a terrible turn and I am VERY lucky to be here writing this!

My beautiful boy is 9LB 9, I will give you all a proper update when I am home in a few days!

Good luck to all the lady's have sections today xx

Frizzy1986 · 14/10/2019 12:26

@HJWT congratulations and whatever has happened, the end result is that you are both here safely which is what matters.
What a giant baby as well! Yay for another 9lber.
Hooe you recover nicely and get home soon.

secretlyhermione · 14/10/2019 12:43

@HJWT congratulations on the birth of your son and I hope your recovery goes smoothly.
I managed to sprain my foot while running errands so currently on the sofa icing it and now hoping for labour to come after the sprain has healed haha!!

Maryrobinson81 · 14/10/2019 12:58

Congratulations @HJWT, sounds scary but glad you are safe and well now, hope you have a quick recovery.

Em39ma · 14/10/2019 13:38

Congratulations @HJWT and @SC0508 so happy for you both and glad there here safe and well. If in @HJWT you must have had a bit of a time of it.
We have had to spend the weekend in hospital, home now and Isobel has had her hip scan, hopefully find out about that in a couple weeks.
Her jaundice is now under control, but having to breastfeed, then top up as they think I just haven’t got enough milk.
I’m better today, amazing how having more than a hours sleep can make you feel better.
