I'm due Xmas day with my first anyone else due on or around that date? Been having what I think is early labor signs but who knows. How is everyone feeling?

Yes! Though the date was moved a week after - could be any time between now and a month which is so difficult to wrap my head around. Feeling completely fed up of not getting more than an hour if sleep at a time and being uncomfortable in just about any position.

Some mild contractions some nights and baby on its way to being engaged. Wondering what's next!

Yes! I'm due my first baby on Christmas Day too!
I'm not feel too bad all things considering. I'm lucky I have been able to sleep pretty well and hip pain has been minimal.
No signs as of yet! It's kind of weird actually imagining it happening... 😂

I’m due on Friday, but like you @RLI1105 I’ve had no signs yet so thinking it might be a Christmas Day baby! I’m already getting impatient Confused

RLI1105 · 16/12/2019 23:26

@GrannyClanger It's just the whole not knowing!
You don't know if it'll be a drawn out stop and start thing or just all of a sudden it'll happen and then that's you!
I keep wondering if I'll suddenly get an impending feeling or something 😂

Just hoping I get my Christmas dinner!

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 17/12/2019 09:26

Yes! Due my first on Christmas Day too! What early labour signs have you been having? I’m dying to have some signs, I really don’t want to go into January!!

The first baby of my NCT class was born yesterday!
The baby was due on the 19th and she'd had no signs. Woke up at 4am thinking she was having Braxton Hicks, within an hour they were proper contractions a minute long and two minutes apart. Went into hospital and was found to be 8cm dilated, healthy gorgeous baby born at 12! How good is that?! Praying for similar! Maybe there is hope!
3 days early would also be ideal!

Due 6th jan, so anytime in the next month. I'm so uncomfortable. Yesterday had painful braxton hicks today absolutely nothing. For me it's the worry of has baby moved much today. This is my 2nd and booked in for a home birth. Are you all ready for xmas?

starflake · 17/12/2019 14:08

I'm due Xmas Eve & going in for induction tonight! Scared so I am. Don't be relying on signs, I've been contracting on & off the last yonks & still nothing! Hoping by this time tomorrow I'll have her in my arms

Naynay26 · 17/12/2019 14:14

I have been told to go to the labour ward, havnt been able to sleep pains in my back have gotten worse and tightening, I wonder if they will induce me not sure how many more sleepless nights I can take, I've had cramping for 5 days or so bad braxton hicks, back pain, sickness and loose stools x

I'm due Christmas Eve. Had loads of signs of labour last week and thought he was going early but that's all stopped now

MerryDeath · 17/12/2019 17:50

@fluffyjumper me too! I'm very much hoping to avoid the entire xmas/NY period as widely as possible. but DS was a week early!

the only problem is i'm extremely uncomfortable and fed up and would like him out ASAP. this evening his brother is absolutely battering the trap door and writhing around like an octopus I'm in agony whilst trying to clear up and get DS To bed Confused

ohdearymemumof3 · 17/12/2019 19:14

Im due 21st no signs but i went 6 days over with my other 2 and there labours started out of nowhere x

WorldEndingFire · 21/12/2019 21:30

@Naynay26 ask them to check the baby's position if you're having irregular contractions and back pain

Pinky8383 · 21/12/2019 21:47

I'm due tomorrow (22nd) Had 3 sweeps already, loads of cramps/signs but never seems to lead to anything! Induction booked for 28th so I think now I'd be happy to hang on til then to avoid the Xmas period especially as I have a 4 year old too who I'd feel awful for if I was stuck in hospital over Xmas. Good luck to everyone 😊

ohdearymemumof3 · 21/12/2019 23:10

Its my due date today, no sign. Was going to have a sweep monday but want to avoid xmas day so having sweep on 27th now if shes not here before x

nataliemum25 · 24/12/2019 01:31

I'm due 2nd January, had sweep today and booked in for induction New Year's Eve 😰😰
