I've started to have some period type cramping tonight, fingers crossed it's the start of something 🤞🏻 I booked a last minute lash appointment for tomorrow as baby hasn't shown yet so what's the odds it decides to come now I've made plans 😂

secretlyhermione · 21/10/2019 20:51

@shouldntbeonhereagain I think I will ask for a sweep at my visit tomorrow. I'll be at 40+5 and as over the due date and baby is fully baked I feel like it can't hurt and if it means I could get things moving quicker then at this point I feel like there is little to lose Smile

Sw2102 · 21/10/2019 21:38

So many still waiting.. I hope you get your babies soon! I had DS yesterday at 41 weeks. Tired but very happy. Grin

gkeal3 · 21/10/2019 21:46

@secretlyhermione good luck, I'm going to ask for a sweep Thursday at my next midwife ap if I haven't gone on to have baby by then. I'll also be 40+5 then xx

YorkshireIndie · 21/10/2019 22:52

Congratulations @Sw2102!

Maryrobinson81 · 21/10/2019 23:00

Congratulations @Sw2102
Hope everyone else gets some sort of progress over night or tomorrow! I feel like I’m never actually going to have a baby and it’s all some weird dream.
Today have walked lots and I’m really achey from it and very tired, Hoping for some better sleep tonight.

AngeloMysterioso · 22/10/2019 04:30

Morning all!

39+5 today... no sign of baby. I’ve been drinking raspberry leaf tea and rubbing clary sage into the bump for a few weeks now, went for a curry at the weekend and nada... we’ve got a growth scan this afternoon which will be nice I guess! Somewhat optimistically planning on taking our bags etc to the hospital with us on the off chance that labour kicks off when we’re there but deep down I know that would be far too convenient!
One of the Mums in my NCT group who’s had her baby said she’s jealous of how much sleep those of us who are still pregnant are getting... lol.

Oppositeoftogether · 22/10/2019 05:23

Firstly new to mumsnet. Wasn’t sure if this is the place to post but I’m now overdue by a week almost. My mum is currently with us to help but it’s just more stress for me. Today she started crying saying I had been rude to her and made her feel unwelcome. She said she had made a list of everything I had said and done. It’s been 5 days. I asked DH and he has confirmed I have not been rude or shouted, if anything I’ve been calm and very patient as she’s quite hard work. It’s the fact that I feel she’s trying to be emotionally manipulative and making it about her. What should I do? I can’t relax and feel so stressed and angry now.

Positivity86 · 22/10/2019 05:32

Hi everyone, will update properly later but our baby girl was born yesterday afternoon at 39+5 weeks weighing 7Ib 14oz. We are smitten!!

@Positivity86 congratulations. Beautiful picture. Wishing you all the best.

Frizzy1986 · 22/10/2019 06:19

Aww congrats @Positivity86 @Sw2102 and @homley Lovely to see some more babies!! Hope you are recovering well. The births aren't always what you hope they will be, but eventually you forget and at least everyone is safe.

Welcome to the newbies. It won't be long now even though its rough going. I feel your pain, I was pushing it getting to due date with comfort levels. And bloomin glad I didn't get further considering how huge he was.

@AngeloMysterioso 😂 yeah, it's a different kind of no sleep. I don't hurt like I did when pregnant, but being up and awake every 2-3hrs feeding is shattering. Think it's the silence that kills me, it's quite isolating.

Ive been getting a little grumpy at dh. He commented that's he's tired too (after he asked if he should get Orson during some night time crying. Why does he ask me? It's not my job and he offers to help!)
Anyway, I told him that when he's up more than once in a night and he's feeding while everyone else sleeps, then he can say he's tired. Too harsh??
Dh also wants to buy a new sofa (we've had ours 12yrs and it was 2nd hand when we got it) and I totally get the premise of it. We do need to grow up and buy stuff of our own instead of our mismatch house of hand me downs (at the age of 33),but I'm on mat leave, with basic smp so not sure it's something we can stretch to. Dh thinks we can but he won't be the one trying to do £30 aldi shops to save money.

Congratulations @Positivity86!
Good luck those of you left!

secretlyhermione · 22/10/2019 10:03

Congratulations @Positivity86! Beautiful girl!
I had my visit and sweep this morning and still dilated at 1cm Grin I have another sweep booked for Friday if not I'll be induced this Sunday. Going to hope baby comes spontaneously in the next five days but to be honest I'm very ready to meet the little one so am mentally ready to accept induction. @Maryrobinson81 have they offered you induction yet?

gkeal3 · 22/10/2019 10:26

Congratulations @Positivity86 beautiful girl 💗

Maryrobinson81 · 22/10/2019 11:01

@secretlyhermione, hope it gets something going for you! I have a sweep tomorrow, I will be 41 + 9 😬 so I expect they talk about it then. I Never thought I’d be worrying about induction and being overdue so long! I desperately don’t want to me away from the children for long 😢

YorkshireIndie · 22/10/2019 11:50

Congratulations @Positivity86 - she is gorgeous!

Can I have a moan? I have got up this morning and the dogs have not been walked, the dishwasher has not been emptied from last night, my sister has left all the washing in the washing machine to be sorted and hung out but she has sorted out her skirt for work, I have done the shopping for my grandmother's tea tonight. I have to later walk the dogs round to my grandmother's house, cook her tea and then sit with her until the carers come at 10pm because my mother really (she really does) needs to do an application. I am balancing keeping everyone happy including DH who seems ready to sulk because he is not use to family life. I am feeling really tearful today and I don't know if it is because I have had enough of being pregnant or it all

YorkshireIndie · 22/10/2019 11:52

And someone gave me a plant to keep alive. The only thing I can keep alive for any length of time is the dog and he is largely self sufficient

Maryrobinson81 · 22/10/2019 13:20

@YorkshireIndie I would be having a moan too, it’s not fair that everything is your job to do. I don’t really have any advice, other than telling your DH to grow up, and step up, but I know that’s way easier said than done and I would struggle!
Please try and Find a little time just for yourself today and forget others and jobs that need doing even if it’s just for a short while.Flowers

DisneyIsMyDrug · 22/10/2019 14:54

Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking during my pregnancy & was always too lazy before to join in (I know that sounds ridiculous, I would think of things to say but could never be bothered typing them out!) Had my 2nd DS 13 days ago & feeling very anxious & quite frankly rubbish so looking to join the post natal thread so as hopefully to feel less lonely. Felt like this after my 1st DS who never slept for about 2.5 years, DS2 seems to be heading the same way Sad add in some guilt about DS1 not being the sole focus anymore & I just want to fast forward the next few months in the hope I’ll feel better.
Sorry for the pity party! Hoping everyone who is still pregnant & uncomfortable meets their little ones soon.

AngeloMysterioso · 22/10/2019 16:31

Afternoon gang!

Congrats on your gorgeous little girl @Positivity86 Flowers

We’ve just had our last growth scan- baby is still pretty much bang on 50th centile, measuring about 7lbs 9oz. Still on track to have a water birth unless for some reason I have to be induced, but apparently that wouldn’t be until EDD+10. Praying to all the gods that I don’t have to wait that long!

Figuringitout · 22/10/2019 18:09

Hi everybody, hope newborns are all thriving and that the bumps turn into babies soon.
I’ve just created a postnatal thread - I’ve tagged some of you who have had babies and will try to link www.mumsnet.com/Talk/postnatal_clubs/3724513-October-2019-Babies?watched=1
Hoping to keep the chat and support going! Ada has had her hearing test today - all good - and her weight is now 9lb15!!

YorkshireIndie · 22/10/2019 18:56

Welcome @DisneyIsMyDrug!

That is really good news @AngeloMysterioso! So lots of pineapple and sex then 😉

Can I just say my grandmother has rounded off my day by ringing my aunt in front of me and saying I don't think Yorkshire wants to cook my tea.' How to make someone feel very welcome in your home

cattaxi · 22/10/2019 20:05

Thanks @figuringitout - will head over to the thread.

Welcome the new posters!

Congratulations @positivity86! Super cute!

@frizzy1986 I banished dh from our room as soon as I was mobile enough to lift the baby. I can’t stand watching him sleep while I’m awake feeding. It works much better for us like this. I watch tv & co-sleep & he is much more useful in the daytime & deals with ds1’s wake ups. It’s only a short period of our lives, so we are happy to do whatever makes it easier.

Good luck to everyone still waiting! Looking forward to all your news.

Maryrobinson81 · 23/10/2019 09:32

Hope everyone ok this morning. Going for another sweep today so fingers crossed it helps this time. I was very crampy last night and really thought it was going to be the start of something, but no, as usual!!

Oppositeoftogether · 23/10/2019 09:32

Have any of you experienced change of movement before going into labour? Not necessarily reduced feral movement, but random days where it seems less and then goes back to normal? I’m now 41 weeks, have had a pretty stressful and horrific week with hospital and my own mother, so I’m not sure whether it’s stress and me being unable to relax? But there is no sign this one wants to be born any day soon.
