@Mufflette Ohh tomorrow is your last day at work then? Same! Fingers crossed for both of us getting at least a week or so off before babies show up 😂

Mufflette · 27/07/2022 12:23

@CoalCraft yes! I think your due date is close to mine too - I'm 19th Aug. Have been having a chat with him this morning about staying nice and comfy for the next week at least - at minimum I want to enjoy the feeling of not having to get up for work this Friday - fingers crossed...

@Unknown6 sorry to hear you’ve been feeling rough with it 😩 hopefully you’re through the worst now and start to feel much better.

@ToCaden @CoalCraft @Mufflette congrats on starting your maternity leave this week! It’s so lovely to be finished and being able to concentrate on your own things rather than work. Hope you all get plenty of time to relax before the babies start arriving 😊

Hi everyone hope you’re ok. So exciting to hear of arrivals in the group and lots more in the next few days I’m sure. Such cuties!!
I had my 36 week midwife appointment today- fundal measurement 37cm.
I have a scan on Friday. Has anyone else measured 90-97 on centile lines.

Good luck @Cakecakecheese and how exciting you get to meet your baby!!! Sending lots of positive vibes your way, keep us posted!

39+3 for me today, zero indication that anything is/will be happening any time soon. I'm finding the waiting so tough, just desperate to meet my little girl already and get on with life as a family of 3! 😭

CoalCraft · 28/07/2022 10:54

@Cakecakecheese How exciting, good luck!

@Danani Hopefully not too much longer for you 🤞

36+5 over here and in the office for my last day of work. Feeling very impatient for it to be over!!

mamaof2girls · 28/07/2022 11:50

@Cakecakecheese good luck! Hope all goes smooth sailing and baby is in your arms! X

Beth262 · 28/07/2022 12:30

@Mamaof2girls @squatternutbosh @PopGoesBang Thanks for the reassurance around 6lb. It's good to know that weight could mean just a quick stay 🙂 The drop in centile has been concerning me but they dont seem too worried so not sure what to think about that. I've been told to ring with any reduced movement but problem is baby doesn't have a a pattern at all. Tuesday he moved all day - proper stomach moving side to side for hours on end. Yesterday and today though, not so much. I'll see how he goes by this afternoon...

@Mufflette @CoalCraft hope your last days are going OK, you're almost there!

@Cakecakecheese se hope induction has all gone smoothly

@Danani I'm 38+2 today and as fed up as you. I've just got back from a 5k walk with the dog across fields to encourage him out but nothing.

Just wondering if anyone an answer this question about bouncing on a birthing ball? So baby is fully engaged and midwife could feel his head Tuesday but cervix is so far back, they can't do a sweep. Does bouncing on the ball just encourage baby into position or does it help encourage your cervix to open? Or both? Just wondering if I need to try that...

Had my baby boy at 4am this morning! He's fine, I'm a tad worse for wear, damn you pre eclampsia, but I'm doing ok.

mamaof2girls · 28/07/2022 14:57

mamaof2girls · 28/07/2022 14:58

Went for my 36 week midwife appointment today and the baby is now 2/5 engaged! X

Mufflette · 28/07/2022 15:06

@Cakecakecheese congratulations!!! Glad to hear he is OK, hope you're being well looked after and recover quickly.
