Ladies we are now on thread 3😱😱

Ah my gosh I cant believe I didnt get any notifications and missed 2 births. Congratulations @jadey1991 and @tuxedocat such beautiful babies. Absolutely gorgeous. Glad both babies are here safe and sound and ready for Xmas!
Good luck @lovebeingmum9 hope all goes quick today for you.
My little pudding is 2 weeks old today already. I hate hiw fast time is going now she is here.

@Curlymam88 thank you darling. We are doing well. I can only imagine how time is ticking.

@jadey1991 sorry to hear you had blood loss and had to go to theatre though. But im glad your little one and you are both doing good now. Time to relax and enjoy the snuggles ☺ xx

@Curlymam88 thanks love. This was a different/difficult delivery. yes I'm glad all is well with us too. Lovely cuddles and snuggles with baby. Girls love him

Good luck to those who are being induced soon!
I had backache for a few days in the lead up. It’s so hard to tell but trust your body, it knows what to do even if you feel like you can’t do it, I promise you can! Stay active, have sex if you can and enjoy it as much as poss before life goes upside down in the best way x

Struggling badly with anxiety at the moment. Terrified of getting covid before Tuesday with how quickly this new variant seems to be spreading

@lovebeingmum9 hey hun how r u?

@xTinkerbell I felt exactly the same before going in to be induced. I just kept telling myself that we'd managed to avoid it for the past two years so we could hang on for a few more days. Just keep being vigilant about wearing masks, sanitising and staying away from crowded places and you'll be fine x

Hi ladies, sorry for the late replies just been doing last minute baby prep before my induction tomorrow🥰

@Theawkwardblonde aww bless you, I know the feeling about the sore pelvis it's awful!! I'm not too bad thankyou, just very uncomfortable and getting nervous for tomorrow!! X

@lovebeingmum9 ahh hope it's all going amazing for you! Can't wait to hear about your birth story and your little one xx

How is everyone else feeling? My notifications are so bizarre, sometimes I get them all and sometimes I get none and miss everything for days🤣 x

Hello everyone 39 weeks today went to my OB appointment yesterday they say I measure 40 weeks no sign of any dilation I’m so disappointed! I really wanna have a December baby oh well I guess I can’t complain I’ve been super healthy throughout my pregnancy so far & being as it’s my first I have a feeling I’ll go 41 weeks before there’s any action keep me posted ladies I love hearing all your stories & seeing those babes! 👶🏻❤️👶🏻❤️

Been waiting for a bed since 8:30 this morning
One will be available tonight at 5pm
What a joke

@cutejeans aww u bet you're excited. Can't wait to hear your birth story
@JW2021 aww bless you, I can't only imagine houses you feeling. Hopefully something happens for you.
@tashx oh no that's terrible. Any do they have you waiting for so long

@xTinkerbell completely understandable anxiety, I'm worried about covid too! Can I ask what you would do if you were me... my sweep was being booked for early next week when I was at my last appointment on Tuesday. The woman said she would book it when I left and if I don't get a letter through I was to call by the end of the week. I spent all afternoon yesterday trying to get through to the Princess Royal but it kept ringing out after they transferred me to health records. I know the Princess Royal were doing vaccinations all yesterday afternoon for pregnant ladies and their partners so I'm guessing that's why no one answered. I just tried calling again today only to be told health records are closed until Monday so now I have absolutely no way of finding out when my sweep is booked for. It could be booked for super early on Monday and I'll miss it. I absolutely hate NHS Glasgow & Clyde lately 😔 just really fed up with them and how shockingly disorganised they are. I had to call to find out my last scan appointment because the letter didn't arrive until the day after the scan!

@2020mission although I'm not from Scotland is there no way you can contact triage and ask them to have a look?

@burtle4 I’m a little calmer today but think the anxiety will come and go till it’s all over. I’ve been doing lateral flows everyday to try and keep my mind at ease. Trying to say the same that I’ve avoided it this long, it’s just a few more days but I’m so on edge. I think all the government updates etc aren’t helping so I’m trying to avoid them now,

@2020mission I’m not too sure, the only thing I can think of is maybe try ringing mat assessment and explaining to them? They can access your notes and should be able to see if it’s been booked in.

@jadey1991 @xTinkerbell I think you're both right I'm probably best to call triage/maternity assessment. I feel guilty calling incase someone in labour needs to get through but needs must! I'll try that tomorrow. I really wish I was with the QEUH, the Princess Royal are not good from my experience.

Hi all.....I've given birth to our gorgeous son Oscar at 1:58 this morning weighing 8lb 2oz. The labour was quite quick and straight forward thankfully.... I had induction/pessary at 12:30 lunchtime then started getting strong contractions at around 9pm every 5 minutes or so until I was moved into a labour room and given the epidural but by the time it took to do it I was already 9cm and started pushing soon after! We should hopefully go home in the morning so oscar who is our youngest of 5 can meet his big sister and big brothers who already completely love him 💙 Feeling so blessed and relieved he is here at last! Thanks everyone for your well wishes going into labour and wish the next mums going into labour the same 😊🎉 I will post a pic once home as my phones playing up and had to do last pic on hubbies phone x

@2020mission yes darling give them a call. See what they say.

@lovebeingmum9 aww congratulations hun, what a lovely name. Glad everything went well for you. Can't wait to see baby pic. Aww well done hun. Xx

Aww congrats @lovebeingmum9 looking forward to seeing a photo of little Oscar later 💙

@lovebeingmum9 congratulations!!! Oscars the same weight as my little one born glad your delivery was pretty straight forward. Well done!

@lovebeingmum9 aww massive congratulations, can't wait to see a picture of baby Oscar! Sounds like a nice quick labour, hope you're both doing okay now xx

@2020mission that's absolutely rubbish, I would honestly complain to your hospital if I was you! I do feel for you, mine has been a bit rubbish as well though no where near as bad as that.. my sister is actually 20 weeks pregnant and is at a different hospital 10 minutes further away from where we are which is so much better and I wish I'd changed to that one!! Oh well, hindsight and all that hahaha x

Congratulations @lovebeingmum9, lovely news! Oscar was on our list of names too x
