@Foxglovesandlilacs86 fingers crossed for you! Do keep us updated!

I've just came back from monitoring, baby happy as Larry in there, had the sweep ( never had one before ) it wasn't as bad as I imagined just praying it works! I'm 3cm already she said which surprised me x

Vie8126 · 22/07/2021 13:27

@Foxglovesandlilacs86 eek I have everything crossed for you.

@Coffeeandcaramel glad all was okay and 3cm wowser that's amazing nearly half way there. Hopefully this will get you moving today also!

A baby girl arrived yesterday morning - my cs went well and recovery is much better than my last (also planned) trying to find a name - we hv a list but no name appeals to both of us.

Congratulations to all the mums and fingers crossed for all of you still expecting to welcome your bundles of joy. Xx

Mummy2O · 22/07/2021 13:37

Congratulations @sakura1982! Wishing you a quick recovery.

sakura1982 · 22/07/2021 17:48

Thank you @Mummy2O , it has been good so far.
Baby girl 3.3kg so in line with Friday’s scan of 3.46kg.

Wishing you all great birth experiences xx

CoffeeAndCaramel · 22/07/2021 17:53

@sakura1982 congratulations!! I hope you recover well x

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 22/07/2021 19:14

Congratulations @sakura1982 and glad you’re recovering well! Flowers

The hospital rang earlier and said to call in at 8.30 and that if there was enough room I can go in ASAP. They have booked me in formally for Sunday so if all else fails it’ll definitely be happening then.

I have a feeling I might go in to labour before Sunday! So in a way wouldn’t be a bad thing if they can’t fit me in tonight. I’ll keep you updated. Going to tell DH he needs to have sex with me and have a good bounce on my birthing ball and see if that helps Smile

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 22/07/2021 19:15

@CoffeeAndCaramel glad your sweep was ok and 3cm is great, hopefully that means it’ll happen very soon! X

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 22/07/2021 19:15

And @sakura1982 I’m sure we can help you with names Grin or you could start a thread! X

Vie8126 · 23/07/2021 07:21

@Foxglovesandlilacs86 that's good news! At least you know exactly what is happening and I have everything crossed you have bubs before Sunday.

@Coffeeandcaramel how you feeling after your sweep?

Congrats to the new babies hope the new mums are recovering and feeling well 🥰

Had intense period pains last night and strong BH every 10 mins we was going out to dinner so toyed with idea to cancel but we went in the end anyway (decided if it was labour I would need to eat!) just as well really as stopped around 10pm. Had the worst night's sleep so far the heat the uncomfortableness. Still have period style cramps under bump assuming things are moving in the right direction so will see what midwife says when she does 2nd sweep Tuesday. Failing that 8 days to induction now. The end is in sight!!!

Congratulations @Sakura1982💐

My baby boy was born just before 6am this morning. Had contractions throughout the day yesterday and last night. Thought they were Braxton Hicks but they got unbearable. Went to the hospital and I was 6cm dilated! Straightforward birth. Hoping to go home in a few hours.

Seems like a few of you are getting really close. Can't wait for the updates😊

Warrickdaviesasplates · 23/07/2021 12:04

Congratulations @HumunaHey do you have a name for him yet? How are you feeling?

I've now had the official go ahead for my home birth and am securing a last minute birth pool so it seems to be coming together nicely. I just need the baby to get a love on now.

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 23/07/2021 13:02

Congratulations @HumunaHey 💐

9lb Baby boy born this morning at 6.45am. Went into labour naturally at around two but started getting painful at about 4. Got to hospital at 4.45 and had a quick birth, but not in the pool as they wouldn’t let me because of risk of pph.

Luckily that was the right decision, I’ve lost so much blood! Am on the mend though and staying in overnight.

Hoping those that are still pregnant pop soon!

Vie8126 · 23/07/2021 14:59

Congrats @Foxglovesandlilacs86 glad you are on the mend wish you a speedy return home.

@HumunaHey congrats to you too! How are you feeling and how much did he weigh?

Mummy2O · 23/07/2021 15:32

Congratulations @foxglovesandlilacs86 and @HumunaHey! Hope you are both doing OK.

Sweetpea12 · 23/07/2021 16:10

Congratulations @Foxglovesandlilacs86 and @HumunaHey very pleased for you both and also very jealous your babies are here Grin

sakura1982 · 23/07/2021 17:11

Congratulations @HumunaHey and @Foxglovesandlilacs86 - your baby boys must be cute. What are their names ?

We think about Juliet or Juliette, and other names- big discussion with DH.

I hope all the sweeps will show successful and soon with more babies coming xx

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 23/07/2021 17:52

We’ve called him Rocco! X

Warrickdaviesasplates · 23/07/2021 18:03

@Foxglovesandlilacs86 Love that name! So cool.

Dh and I still can't agree on a boys name, I'm keeping quiet about it though and if this baby is a boy I'll just put forward my favourite name as a done deal and hope DH doesn't argue too much.

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 23/07/2021 18:12

@Warrickdaviesasplates that’s pretty much what I did with my first 5 babies 👶🏼

Vie8126 · 23/07/2021 20:21

@Sweetpea12 same! It will be our turns soon enough!

@Foxglovesandlilacs86 love the name!!

CoffeeAndCaramel · 23/07/2021 22:45

@HumunaHey
@Foxglovesandlilacs86 congratulations to both of you!! How wonderful. Must be something in the air as my baby also arrived this morning!!! The sweep obviously worked and I have an 8 pound 9 little bruiser in my arms as we speak 💙

Sweetpea12 · 24/07/2021 06:56

Thinking and hoping my waters have broken so at hospital to confirm. Too early to know but I’m hoping this is the start of it and my little boy isn’t too far away from being with me. So delighted to hear of more babies being born 💕

THATbasicSNOWFLAKE · 24/07/2021 08:47

Good luck @Sweetpea12!

Congrats @HumunaHey @CoffeeAndCaramel and @Foxglovesandlilacs86!

I really like the name Rocco btw!
