@PipTed I'm craving a curry now! It's getting a little late but my hunger is back.

Spoke to midwife and turns out I'm showing signs of early labour or the latent phase as they say. She said from the sounds of things, it seems like things are progressing so she might be here sooner than I think. I hope so. I'm soooo ready!!

PipTed · 21/11/2020 21:01

@Asianchick6693 ooh that sounds very promising!

Wildtimes · 21/11/2020 23:09

Hi ladies. Not sure if it's too late to join this group. But I'm 41+1 with no sign of baby. Had a sweep attempted yesterday but was told my cervix needs shorten and is facing posteriorly. Literally going out of my mind and just want baby to hurry and come!!!

MrsSmith2020 · 21/11/2020 23:37

Anyone have any tips for managing heartburn/indigestion?
I can't lie flat 😫

Welcome Wildtimes! How are you doing?
Asianchick6693 · 22/11/2020 04:13

Girls super late post but my waters have gone!! I was having a contraction and heard a pop! It didn't gush out but rang up and has the loveliest midwife that said I should go in so they can check. Wasn't visibly obvious but they did a swab test that confirmed they have gone. Should go into labour naturally by today if not by Monday then I'm getting induced. Boy are these contractions more painful than the ones I've been having up until now. I hope I can cope 😭 they're currently 5 minutes apart. Wish me luck!

@peachypetite What? How? Omg! Congratulations xxxx

@Asianchick6693 omg! How exciting. Stay calm and at home as long as possible.
My induction wasn't terrible but it was hard work.
Keep us updated please ❤️❤️

loobeelou · 22/11/2020 06:21

Welcome to the group @Wildtimes, hopefully you're not waiting much longer. Is this your first?

Good luck @Asianchick6693

@peachypetite what? 😱😂

loobeelou · 22/11/2020 06:22

Congratulations @LRHRN hope you are both doing well.

Welcome to the world Nora Bess, lovely name x

kkr168 · 22/11/2020 06:52

Congratulations @LRHRN I'm guessing the labour was quite quick? Love the name, we have a baby Nora in the family x

Wow @peachypetite congratulations, what happened?

@Asianchick6693 good luck, sounds like things are definitely progressing for you now

Amyyy1 · 22/11/2020 06:59

@Asianchick6693 I bet you're pleased things are finally starting properly for you with all those contractions you kept on having, good luck! ☺️

@LRHRN Congratulations, gorgeous name😍

@peachypetite Congratulations!!!

What a busy night for you all Xx

Amyyy1 · 22/11/2020 07:03

@MrsSmith2020 It might be worth calling your GP if the usual things such as gaviscon etc aren't helping, I know a few ladies mentioned on here a while back they were prescribed medication (omeprazole I think) which has helped them manage it x

@Wildtimes Welcome! Fingers crossed for you baby makes an appearance soon. Do you know if you're having a boy or girl? 😁

danielasummer · 22/11/2020 07:05

@LRHRN @peachypetite eeeek congratulations to you both!!! Nora is a beautiful name and what a lovely weight too! Peachy tell us all of the details if you wish, your announcement came as a surprise when I opened this thread!

@Wildtimes welcome 🙂 I hope things get going for you soon x

@Asianchick6693 great news but not so great about the pain! Every contraction is bringing you closer to meeting your little person and they are all there for a purpose. Looking forward to hearing your news x

Thanks everyone ❤️
@kkr168 they broke my waters at 8pm started the drip at 10pm and at about 2.30am I was ready to push.
It was bad but the contractions weren't completely unbearable until 2am after they upped the amount of synto.
Managed on gas and air but I'd highly recommend epidural for inductions because the contractions are thick and fast.

Babyhope98 · 22/11/2020 07:10

Congratulations @LRHRN beautiful name! 💕
I think congratulations are in order for you too? @peachypetite hope you and baby are well 🤗
Good luck @Asianchick6693

excitednerves · 22/11/2020 07:18

Congratulations @LRHRN and @peachypetite

Good luck @Asianchick6693 I hope everything goes well for you!

Nothing here last last. Another day of waiting for me.

peachypetite · 22/11/2020 07:41

Ladies I will write a proper update soon but just to say I had a very good birth with no intervention. If you haven’t already get the Freya app. I breathed through my contractions and labour calmly. Also tens machine for home.

PipTed · 22/11/2020 07:54

@LRHRN CONGRATULATIONS!!! what awesome news and a lovely name! ❤️

@peachypetite wah?! Can’t wait to hear more! Congrats!

@Asianchick6693 finally a definite sign! Keeping everything crossed!

Curry hasn’t worked its magic yet! 🤣 but I did start getting some tightenings last night and timing them on freya and said I was in and out of established labour. Think it was just indigestion though if I’m honest! But at least I have practice with the app!

Asianchick6693 · 22/11/2020 09:06

Baby is back to back girls. Labour pain progressed so fast and I'm only 2cm but in tears from the agony I am feeling they've moved me up to ward for better pain relief. Thank you all for your kind comments will keep you all updated 💕

EithneBlue · 22/11/2020 09:23

Ahh what a lovely morning of news!

@LRHRN - Yay: congratulations! What a lovely name too :-)
@peachypetite - You know, I thought yesterday that you'd been quiet but then didn't think anything else of it. Congratulations! I hope all went well :-)
@Asianchick6693 - Good luck: you've got this! Hopefully the better pain relief helps :-)

EithneBlue · 22/11/2020 09:25

@PipTed - I had a curry last night too. No magic here, either. 40+1 and this baby is showing no signs of escape: I am definitely on track to be the person that goes 2 weeks overdue. I figure if I eat a curry every day though ONE DAY it'll have worked ;-)

PipTed · 22/11/2020 09:45

@EithneBlue I’m just behind you at 39+3 and I feel the same. 🙈

Wildtimes · 22/11/2020 09:48

Thanks for welcoming ladies.
@Amyyy1 I'm having a boy, who's clearly to comfortable where he is. Is your baby here?
@MrsSmith2020 currently losing my mind, I really didn't want to be induced but looking like its heading that way or c section. Is your baby here?

Congratulations to all those that have given birth!!!
