Due February 2024 Thread 6!!🤰🩷💙

[AllAboardTootToot]

Last thread just got full so starting a new one for us to keep chatting :)

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 oh really, I guess they are super stretched like all of the NHS. Hopefully they have a bed when baby is due to arrive 🤣

I keep thinking what if there’s no rooms and baby is born in a corridor 🙈 x

@anony1111 and @Mummapenguin20 ha I do think that too! But apparently they just send you away to another hospital (I asked the midwife). The hospital I've opted for (closest) apparently isn't all that good, so another hospital may not be a bad thing 🤣

I Labour so quick I don’t think I’d make another hospital 🙈 hoping I’m in and out this time x

@Mummapenguin20 oh gosh, well a quick labour does sound very positive though! They'll no way send you on I'm guessing 🤣 x

My longest was 4 hours and that was my first. My second was 3 contractions. 7mins in total and my 3rd 3 hours x

I keep thinking this one’s coming early had a few ouch contractions. And lost some of my plug hopping he hangs on a week or so because daddy has flu xx

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @Mummapenguin20
In the corridor 🤣🤣 I was sent to a different hospital with my first as there were no beds in my planned hospital and it was no bother at all.

Oh wow that is super fast, 7mins is crazy!! My mum ended up having my sister at home (not planned) and my brother in the back of an ambulance as she labours super fast too, i wish I got the memo!
I hope baby keeps cooking a little longer until Daddy has recovered

@anony1111 just imagine a corridor of women giving birth haha x

At my local hospital there's a reaaaaally long corridor to get to the delivery suite and defo had a number of babies born on trolleys being whisked down by paramedics there!
Had the drip for my first so no idea how fast will labour (hopefully) naturally this time around, especially if do manage to get baby out of back to back position 🤔

Scan today before I’m in on Friday and she’s back in head down position 🎉 please god she stays like that now for Friday. @Mummapenguin20 7mins, wow that is fast, like had u contractions for long before this? I don’t think I’d have time to get to another hospital either, nearest is a few hrs away so hopefully it’s not too busy 🙈

@DmcinT my waters had been gone 48 hours so I was in to be induced. I lay on the bed at 630 and said I felt that (1st contraction) she was litrally on my chest at 637 x

Thoroughly enjoying hearing about these quick labours - gives me hope
😅

@Mummapenguin20 Thats amazing, seven minutes sounds like a dream.

Hoping all of us here have a short and sweet birth. I'm so excited for my little boy to be out and to meet the strong legs that have been kicking me every day!

My mother had four c-sections and my sister had three c-sections so I have no idea what natural birth is like for people in my close family. I know my birth experience would never be the same as anyone else's but it would be nice to hear how long their labours lasted and such.

I am looking forward to not having my cervix head butted haha xx

@Mummapenguin20 yeah the cervix head butts are painful 😅

@KayakingBex very he’s been head down 10 weeks too so it’s not even a recent thing haha x

@Mummapenguin20 🤣 it honestly wouldn't surprise me these days with how stretched the NHS is! Hopefully we all have our own calm peaceful labour room though 🤞🏼

Tbh if it's a lovely quick one, wouldn't mind giving birth in the corridor!

Baby is now head down - hurrah! 37 weeks now so hopefully very unlikely to turn back

Hope your baby stays put @DmcinT

Thinking of you @Shrillwaffle - hope all goes well x

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I was thinking the same and I probably wouldn't bat an eyelid in full blown labour anyway 🤣

@amyg1985 glad baby is head down now! They love to keep us on our toes even before they are born don't they 😂

I'm starting to get a very strong feeling he's going to be here soon. I'll be shocked if he's still in there by the end of next week 😄

I wish I was getting that feeling @CheeseAndCrackersx ! I'm 38 weeks today and feel so ready, every inch of the house has been cleaned, bags packed, nursery ready and baby super low down. What signs are you getting, maybe I'm just missing them but I don't feel much going on?!
