Hi all,

I’m counting down the days now, at due on the 14th of this month so 11 days to go! Really hoping for this one to come a little earlier rather than later though as I’ve got 4 children already and two of them have birthdays 2 days apart and right before Christmas... that week is always super stressful and wipes me out! My youngest has a birthday on the 28th of this month so I’m hoping for at least a week between these two, but if I go the full two weeks over they could be on the same day 🙈

We have 2 DS’ and 2 DDs so we haven’t found out what we are expecting this time and i’m extra excited to meet baby!

Anyone else in the home stretch at the moment want to keep each other company in the last days/weeks?

Hey,

I'm having a section on the 15th (as long as he doesn't decide to come beforehand). This is my first. I'm nervous and excited in equal measure!
Are you all prepared? X

Hi 👋
I’m due on 3rd July but having a csection between 37-39 weeks so will have a baby by the end of the month 😬 this is also my 5th and a surprise, although we have 4 boys and I’m pretty certain this one is too.

LusciousV · 03/06/2020 09:48

You both have so much willpower, not finding out the sex of your babies. I loved the idea of keeping it a surprise but I couldn't resist finding out when they asked 🙈 I don't regret it though, I think it's helped me bond with him 👶🏼

Undomesticgodde55 · 03/06/2020 09:50

Next week 😬 first time mum hope if the baby comes sooner rather than later

Lovelostnfoundx · 03/06/2020 09:58

I’m due 19th June and having a baby boy! Starting to feel very ready for him to arrive now!

MrsRose2018 · 03/06/2020 10:01

I’m being induced on the 27th!!

First time baby though so I have no idea how long the induction will take to work so maybe a July baby after all but eeek!!

Cazzy198 · 03/06/2020 11:34

Technically I'm not due this month, I was due 22nd May but baby obviously too comfortable inside Confused.

I have an induction booked for Friday when I will be exactly 42 weeks and I cant wait to give birth. Each day is an absolute slog at the moment.

Hopefully you ladies wont have such an overdue baby Flowers

Undomesticgodde55 · 03/06/2020 11:38

@Cazzy198 I feel for you, being 39 weeks in this heat is bad enough! I'm really hoping I don't go overdue I never knew pregnancy could be so uncomfortable. Every morning I feel like an old lady with creeping hips 👵🏻

Mademoiselle14 · 03/06/2020 13:09

Also due on the 19th with our first, impatient for her to arrive now as started feeling very uncomfortable!

CatWhisperer86 · 03/06/2020 13:22

Hi everyone! Yes I think we’re as prepared as we can be, had some things that we kept from last baby so we already had a cot and loads of bits and bobs. We bought whatever else we didn’t have at the start of lockdown as we didn’t know what the situation would be as we got closer and didn’t want to leave it too late.

The Moses basket is setup in our room and lockdown gave me the chance to potty train our toddler which will be a big help I think.

@LusciousV I was the same on the first four, I couldn’t contain myself lol. As soon as I was asked if I wanted to know I said yes even though I’d decided against finding out. This was an unexpected pregnancy so I seized the chance to have the surprise I always wanted and I’m really glad I’ve stuck to it this time.

@Cazzy198 oh my word I think I’d be going out of my mind if I was that overdue! Mine have all been born within a week of the due date so I really hope this one is the same!

First was 1 day early, 2nd was 1 day late, 3rd was 5 days late and 4th was 3 days late. I’m hoping for a similar timeframe, I really don’t want two more with super close birthdays 🙈

Hi I was due on 31st may but obviously baby is too comfortable! 😂 I have just had my second sweep and midwife was positive labour would begin this evening 🤞😬

Itsgottobethisone · 03/06/2020 14:13

@Megzmoo how exciting. 🤞

5stringtele · 03/06/2020 14:20

I was due 31st May too! No signs of anything yet. Having a sweep tomorrow so I'm hoping that starts something off!! I'm getting impatient 😁

CatWhisperer86 · 03/06/2020 14:31

@Megzmoo Fingers crossed for you!

I'm due a CS next week. There is a facebook group too if anyone would like to join!

MamaBearThius · 03/06/2020 14:57

I'm having a baby tomorrow! Planned C-section, 2nd baby girl. Having to leave DH and DD4 at home for it all as we have no one who could look after her and there's no visiting at our hospital. Feels very surreal, spending our last day as 3!

LusciousV · 03/06/2020 15:53

@MamaBearThius best of luck for tomorrow! X

BeautyAndTheBump1 · 03/06/2020 15:58

Was due on 30th May so currently 40+4, having a 2nd sweep tomorrow - I think hes far too comfy in there.

devilishdemento · 03/06/2020 16:34

Due today, absolutely zero labour signs so today is almost certainly not the day! It will work in our favour if baby is late anyway as we are moving into our new house next week and will just be easier without a newborn. But whatever happens, happens.

cornflakes86 · 04/06/2020 08:33

Glad to hear I am not the only one. Was due on the 31st May. No sign of anything happening. No Braxton hicks, no loss of mucous plug, nothing ! Really sick of the enquiring text messages even though I am sure they are well meaning ! Booked in for a sweep tomorrow morning at 40+5. Trying to keep myself relaxed and distracted but it is difficult!

lucy2204 · 04/06/2020 11:38

Hello ladies 3rd baby due 16th June here! 🙋‍♀️My babies tend to go over due but little man seems to be giving me tightening lately🤔 maybe an early one this time around xx

AnonyHB · 04/06/2020 12:15

Hi all! FTM, due 20th but section booked for 18th and hoping he/she (will be a surprise) comes before then. We have a due in June group over on the birth clubs message board that you’re very welcome to join!

Undomesticgodde55 · 04/06/2020 12:42

Is anybody else finding these last few weeks/month tough? I just don't have any energy left and my morning sickness is back. I'm normally quite an active person so I haven't really enjoyed any of the pregnancy hormones. I'm wishing my baby to be here so much I just can't wait to meet them.

CatWhisperer86 · 04/06/2020 18:02

@MamaBearThius Oh wow, exciting! I’m wondering if you’re little one is already here now! Wishing you all the luck in the world! 🥰

@Undomesticgodde55 The last few weeks are always very difficult, I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling Flowers Almost there though!
