Anyone else on maternity leave and waiting for their baby to make an appearance?

[ShirleyPhallus]

I’ve batch cooked, nursery is sorted, I feel fairly relaxed. Just waiting for this little one to make an appearance

Anyone else waiting now?

Yes me! 😩 When are you due? x

Me too 15 days and counting 😬

Thursday! I’m starting to feel like the baby is already late because of it!

When are you both due?

Me! I’m 38 weeks now. Still could do quite a bit of housework and tiny freezer not amenable to batch cooking! But enjoying taking a walk in the fresh air with a podcast every day!

Meee.. 39+6. Stuck at home self isolating as my toddler has a blooming cough. Which isn’t anything new, she’s always got a cold/cough! It’s so frustrating. We are on day3, isolation with a toddler should really be used as some form of torture. My daughter is the light of my life but she’s a whirlwind & getting her out to burn off steam at nursery, softplay, swimming, gym class etc is really needed 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m kinda hoping baby stays put until she’s better .. so we can at least get her out the house once baby is here!

@ShirleyPhallus due 2 weeks on weds!

Yep, 41+3. Bored now, we have an induction booked in couple days but hoping baby arrives on it's own before then!

I'm due on 31st, hoping she will make an early appearance though.

Yes! Due this Saturday so only 39+2 but totally agree that he feels overdue already.
Is anyone feeling any different? Any changes in symptoms?

Me too. I'm 41+1, due to be induced on Thursday but bored of waiting. Have had everything prepped for weeks.

Have a 2 year old DD but finding it hard to keep her amused as I can only really waddle short distances

Me... csection booked for Wednesday!! Can't wait! So uncomfortable right now!

Me! I'm desperate to go into labour now and have an energetic three year old to deal with while I can barely move I'm that huge!

Meeee! Due on friday. Im so bored ive taught myself how to draw!

I keep looking for any little sign or difference but I don’t think anything is happening. I really don’t want to be induced!

Gosh I can’t wait then for this thread to be full of babies hopefully very soon!

I have been having period like cramps but then they just disappeared. No other symptoms but I’m also looking out for every little twinge or pain!

@ShirleyPhallus - yes! Exactly the same! I get them then they disappear!
Are you booked in for a sweep or anything?

Hey @elw85, I feel like we are on all the same baby threads!

I have a midwife appt on Wednesday so will see what happens then. Nothing booked in but tbh I’d like to know how far I am in terms of cervix being ready so I can be informed for potential sweeps etc. I’m really hoping these cramps have at least done something and it’s on the move somehow!

Yes i have the same due date as you (19th), I think I will be late! No signs except the odd bit of cramp at night the last few days which goes away by morning x

I'm not even due till next month and I'm soooo ready for this baby to be here ! Currently only 35 weeks and there's is potentially 7 more weeks to go HG sickness throughout but has returned this week with avengeance, heart burn if I sleep on right side, dead leg when I sleep on my left and constantly feeling exhausted.

How is everyone feeling today? Any signs of any babies?

Nothing yet 😩 How about you? @ShirleyPhallus

@mumma2b2020 nothing from me either!! Hoping someone else has got some lovely baby news to cheer us up

Nothing at all.
Just watched the Deputy Chief Medical Officer day on BBC that women in late 3rd Tri (34+ weeks) are most at risk of COVID-19 and just not explain how though??

No baby yet! Sweep on thursday, but he seems VERY happy inside me

@ELW85 it's all so unnerving at the moment but with no answers or clarity 😩
