Currently 37+5 with my first baby. She's due on the 20th :) How's everyone feeling?

I'm suffering a lot with SPD and crazy pelvic pressure, along with bump pain and awful heartburn.

I'm technically not due until the beginning of August (36+1 today) but found out today that there's a very solid chance baby will be coming a couple weeks early so I guess I can hang out here?

@erised24 arghh how nerve breaking and super exciting at the same time! Have you pack your bag for the hospital? How many weeks are you now?

@Grainedesesame yeah, luckily have had it packed for a while. Just had to add a bit more since I could be there for ages! I'm 38+4.

I’m 38+3 now and am constantly on the eye out for labour haha! It’s my partners 25th birthday on Thursday so I’m hoping I’m not in labour on his birthday even though he would love to share a birthday with his son! Every morning I wake up and I’m convinced I’m in labour because I’m sooo sore

Grainedesesame · 11/07/2020 18:07

@erised24 how is the induction going? Have you started? Wishing you all the very best

@Natasha9511 when is your due date? I'm doing a lot of symptoms checking too because this is our first and don't know what labour feels like. I got a lot of period pain today. What soreness do you get?

@Grainedesesame okay so far. Didn't need the pessary as midwife could feel babies head, cervix is in good position and am 1cm dilated. They have given me a gel.

@erised24 really happy for you. You willer you're little one very soon. Are they expecting contractions to start tomorrow morning or really much anytime now?

@Grainedesesame she said she thinks I should be in labour within 6 hours, that was about 2 hours ago. I'm feeling a lot of pressure and tightening but not sure if its contractions...

@erised24 hope you can have your partner with you during the wait!

@Grainedesesame unfortunately not. Been by myself since I came in at 3pm (now almost 9pm). Birth partner is allowed to visit tomorrow between 2-4 and will get called in once I'm on the labour ward.

@erised24 very sorry to hear. I hope you get some good rest before it all kick off. Have you picked a name for your baby girl yet?

Camia · 11/07/2020 22:11

@erised24 Good luck! I hope all goes well. I'm sorry you can't have your partner while you wait

My little baby girl decided to make an appearance today at 3:08am. Nearly had her in the car on the way as my labour was only 3 hours long! I am so so so in love.

Nelbert19 · 12/07/2020 08:27

Ooh congratulations @happygolucky6 that’s wonderful!!

I’m so impatient now - 38 weeks, head engaged, no other real signs 😖

Hope things are going well for you @erised24

peachunz · 12/07/2020 09:18

I go for my growth scan tomorrow and I'll be 38+4, I'm so exhausted and have been having tightenings and period like pains all weekend, I'm hoping they offer me an induction Grin I'm so impatient!

WeeScottishWife · 12/07/2020 09:37

@happygolucky6 congratulations! I hope you're both doing well!

joannew4 · 12/07/2020 09:41

I'm 39+1 with my 2nd and feeling thoroughly fed up. Was induced with first at 38+3 so had sort of expected pregnancy to be over by now. I'm incredibly anxious about going over due dates and my next appointment isn't until 40+3 for a sweep then. Really hoping baby decides to make an entrance before then!

Camia · 12/07/2020 10:44

@happygolucky6 Congratulations!

2020firsttimemum · 12/07/2020 11:23

Also had our little boy now! A week late and a fairly traumatic labour but he's here and worth it! (Born 10/07)

Good luck to all of you due very soon!

@erised24 congratulations! Hope you and bubs are doing well! ❤️

Missdrifter · 13/07/2020 13:39

Congratulations ladies. Hope you are all enjoying the new born bubble. I go in tomorrow for a c section and the nervous are kicking in x

2020firsttimemum · 13/07/2020 14:17

@Missdrifter I had a horrific labour that ended in a section (I really did not want this AT ALL) but it was honestly the calmest and easiest part of it all.

It's scary with loads of people around of course but I can assure you it's not as bad as you think! I hope it all goes well for you ❤️
