June 2021 - part 6 - the final push!

[swiftt]

We’re coming to the end of our last thread so here is, hopefully, the final instalment of our journeys. I’m going to compile a list of due dates and births from the last thread and I’ll post them below.

Hopefully we’ll have lots more baby announcements on the way! How is everyone doing?

Loving the name. Final push 🤣

Okay!

Okay, here’s where we’re at so far! I hope I haven’t missed anyone but there were 40 pages on the old thread to go through, so I’ve tried to get everyone’s due dates and any birth announcements. There were a couple of births without a due date, so have made an educated guess!

Hope all the new arrivals are doing well, and fingers crossed we’ll be adding lots more soon! I for one am so fed up with this heat, and being constantly uncomfortable!

@swiftt wow swift! Pretty amazing work there!!

@swiftt thanks so much for new thread! Looking forward to seeing lots more lovely baby announcements!!!!

@AlRRRR can you tell I have too much time on my hands at the moment? 🙈😂

@swiftt hahahahha , I see your due date is in 3 days!! Today I’m feeling the grind, how are you feeling??? I feel like my tummy could burst open and feel so strange...... i’m 17 days away! Gosh

@AlRRRR it is! I’m a bit fed up. Feel like absolutely nothing is happening, apart from some totally random and totally irregular stomach pains so I’m not holding out much hope that I’m going into labour any time soon.

Oh, maybe that’s a good sign! Although some of the movements I’m getting now make my stomach feel a bit like that, it’s very Alien-esque.

Thanks for the new thread @swift.
I had a growth scan this morning and consultant appointment. Before they had said they wouldn't let me go past 40 weeks (due 10th) but they said today the baby has slowed down a bit with her growth and remains in the 90th centile line so they aren't as worried, the water around the baby is borderline for being too low but they think the best is to wait another week before planning an induction- unless reduced movements of leaking of fluid.
I'd geared myself up for her definitely being here in a few days but guess she's comfortable so will have potentially to wait a bit longer.
Hope you're all doing ok in the heat this afternoon and the babies that are already here are settling in x

@swiftt maybe these random pains are good!! It can literally happen at any moment! I think I lost the mucus plus the day it started! I was just laying down and at 5pm, i said I think it’s started and oh boy it had!

the movements now are horrendous when they start!!!

@Nesski sorry just following on from previous thread! I’m hoping to be allowed to continue with the ELCS even if she has turned just before that’s what I’m now mentally preparing myself for but the consultant was pretty off with me about allowing it to go ahead ‘without a medical need’ so we’ll see! Ultimately it should be my choice but I’m worried that I’ll be pushed into either going home or the induction.

@ChasingARainbow you never know, she might still make an appearance over the next few days! :)

Oh wow @swiftt you kept up really well!

Update from me, I'm being induced on Friday. They said it can take all weekend though.

Wow amazing work !! Well done !! Eeek the final thread 🙌🙌🎉🎉

@swiftt I'm 4 days after you and haven't felt a thing !! I keep watching out for the plug or even a braxton hick but nothing !! So I'm assuming I'll go over

@swiftt thank you for setting this up! The babies all seem to be coming through now!!

@TerryRose it’s so frustrating, isn’t it? Every time I go to the toilet I’m willing there to be something gross like a bit of plug! 😂😂😂 keep telling myself that it’s so common to go into labour without any of these signs, though. But I just wish I had a tiny wee inkling of maybe something happening. Hate not knowing if the big day is near or far!

@AlRRRR hopefully! Ooh, losing your plug is definitely a good sign. Fingers crossed things are on their way.

@swiftt Oh I haven;t lost it this time ! hahaha That was 1st baby and it happened on the day labour started hahahaha

@AlRRRR ohhhh, sorry! I totally misread your post. 🤦‍♀️

@swiftt I wasn’t too clear either! hahahah I wish I had though

Thanks @swiftt

Reading your posts makes me feel better than im not the only one wondering when the big day is going to be! Im due June 16th - not much longer until all our babies are earth side 😍

My c section is planned for next Friday, which is good I guess as I know the latest I will go, but I do have the fear of it knowing it's coming. I feel so so nervous about the whole thing :(

So, with my induction being done on Friday I've been told to get those covid tests. Annoyingly they don't tell you how long it takes for them to arrive. I've been hiding inside for ages.

Anyone else heard you have to take tests before you go into the hospital.

@AnxiousAnnie86 im nervous too with induction on Friday. We can be nervous together. It will all be OK I'm sure. Make sure you take your own pillow and cup! I've packed both!!

@Taylor1896 I’ve added you to the list for the next update! Yeah, I’m getting so irrationally impatient with the not knowing now. It’s not even my due date yet but I hate not knowing if it’s going to be tomorrow or 2 weeks time!
