39 weeks pregnant!!

[xxxbabyno1]

I know there's so many threads open already about this subject but I am currently 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant & I want this baby out!!!

I've felt all sorts of twinges and niggles with no such luck - spend my life bouncing on that bloody ball. I'm getting seriously fed up & starting to feel really down & constantly irritated. Please help! X

I’m 39+1 and I feel the same!

Have you been doing anything to try entice your baby to come out? I’ve been having some pineapple, going for walks and bouncing on a ball. I think I lost a tiny bit of the musics plug this evening but it’s was such a. Small bit I couldn’t say for sure :(

Best of luck! ♥️

@Heartburn888 love the username lol.

Yeah I've tried pineapple & curries which both just made me feel ill & upset my stomach. I use the ball daily, tried sex & walks.

I keep telling myself he will come when he's ready but the thought of waiting any longer just makes me feel so irritated, I can't sit still 😂

I feel the same it’s awful waiting when you have waited so long to begin with! I take it this will be your first?

Knowing my luck I will go over which I’m expecting so I’m not getting my hopes up, just trying to cram in as many jobs and things I need to get done before he comes to try and keep myself busy and active.

I’m not going to bother with curries, I mean if I get an upset tummy and end up going into labour and then 💩 happens... 😂

When are you next with MW? Has she offered a sweep?

@Heartburn888

Yes my first, they say boys are stubborn & more likely to be late too! 🤦🏼‍♀️ is it your first?

The wait really is frustrating as hell! Will all be worth it when our babies are here in our arms!

I don't see her again until December 5th for my sweep which is 6 days past my due date - I asked for one at my appointment last week to which she refused as if my body wasn't ready it would cause more discomfort than help. I'm considering calling her and asking if she will do it this week instead of next. Are you booked in for your sweep etc?

My next appointment is on the 5th too! She asked me to consider if I wanted a sweep I was erm yes please lol I was going to ask if she could do one earlier but I posted on here asking if she would be likely to do it and the general concern us was what your midwife advised.

Yes my first too, just hope he’s not a lazy bum and stays put for another couple of weeks, well he can stay this week whilst I finish the Christmas shopping but I’m serving the eviction notice once the last present is wrapped 😂

Sorry to jump in - I’m 39+3 and in the exact same boat, first baby and a boy too!

I was 13 days overdue with mine back in May. I had a massive walk (uncomfortable obviously!) 2 days before and it definitely made things shift a bit! Good luck! X

Love how we are all nearly the same! Best of luck and massive congratulations ♥️♥️♥️

Hope your babies all make an appearance soon! Fyi, midwives can't do sweeps early even if you want them to, unless it's documented by a consultant in your notes as part of a wider plan. We have rules that mean sweeps can't be done before 40+0 with your first baby and 41+0 with your second.

Jumping in as it's my due date today and I have had zero signs of baby! I've tried EVERYTHING and I've resigned myself to the fact baby will come when they decide. Doesn't make the frustration any less though! Wishing you all good luck!

Ah we’re all so close together in dates! Good luck everyone

Seems we're all as frustrated as each other! 😂

Good luck to everyone when the time comes, hope our babies don't keep us waiting too much longer 💙xx
