Thread for mooching around on and whinging about being overdue PART 2 by popular demand

[FrannyandZooey]

Come here and obsess about mucus, etc.
Have fun.
Try not to swear too much.
Oh actually, go for it.
The phrase "any news?" is BANNED. Offenders will be sat on by the most overdue woman present.

Well hello again. Was due to go in to be induced this morning but things happened last night.
10:30pm - first contraction
10:45pm - waters broke and off we go into hospital
2:30am - baby girl, 9lb 12oz

Horrendous pain. So so so much worse than the first. Screamed and screamed. Took me a good few hours after birth to actually appreciate that I had a baby, rather than simply that the pain was over!

No stiches. Out by 10am.

Phew.

Now the hard part...

Good luck everyone else. Remind me never to do this again.

Congratulations from the cheerleading squad!

Oof, 9lbs 12oz. I think you win the sorest fanjo bonny baby competition.

(what have you got already?)

And hurray! you're not pregnant anymore.

V pleased for you. [Cheshire cat]

Thanks. First was a boy, 9lb 2oz so I must have elastic bits!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done! xx

well done and congratulations 1st girl on thread for ages

Hope your not too tender for too long!

Post with your lovely babes name when you can

xxxxx

Really pleased for you springer and looking forward to some excrutiating pain here soon.

Congratulations Springer! What a whopper, I think when ds2 decides it's time to comes, he will be a weight to rival your dd!

EEC - am sending some pain vibes your way, or should I say 'cervix opening like a flower bud' vibes your way?!

Congratulations Springer!
big babies are great

Well done Springer and congratulations

Welcome to the new puppy!

First off, for those who don't know I am Hatrick's DH

Just a quick one to say that all the mooching and whinging has finally ended for us as we were joined by Cassius at 5:18 this afternoon. Weighing in at a respectable 8lbs 10oz.

We went from wonderful organic home birth plan to OMG! 3 midwives, 2 obstiatricians and 1 paediatrician in a delivery suite at East Surrey hospital, but Hatrick and little Cassius are in good health and everything was fine thanks to the wonderful team at the hospital.

Hatrick will fill you in on all the details in good time.

Good luck to all those still waiting and congratulations to any that have arrived since this morning!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And aha - he is a wee redheaded chap then?

Sounds like it might've got a bit exciting - give Hatrick a big hug from me and have one yourself, you dad of four, you!

Can't believe Hatrick and WMF have a boy!

Hey, you could've called him Froggy!

WMF, they're all talking about missed holidays but I know there are heaps of people hanging out to hear re your new son so I took a bit of a liberty. Hope you don't mind!

Might be redhead but prob not.

Cassius just seemed to fit!

It's bloody lovely - I really like it! Has he a middle name?

OH!

Congratulations, fantastic news.

FAB!
have been logging on waiting for this - congrats!
and the name sounds brill with your surname - very good indeed

....and yes, what a great name!

Cassius Stephen Christopher

Gorgeous! Am over the moon for you all - I kept checking today to see if either of you had posted!

Congratulations Springer and Hatrick and their families.

Love the name Cassius.

yes me too Hunker - it was about the first thing I though about when I woke up this morning (closely followed by WHY ARE YOU BOTH UP SO EARLY? mind)

now I want to know BUtterfly's name too

So pleased for you both I absolutely love the name ........... wonder if DH likes it for us!

Congrats to you all

Who have we left then and who will be next I wonder

Think I must be the most overdue ever - am 42+1. Have private midwife so am not being rushed into induction but am getting so frustrated. Can't understand why he hasn't come yet - DS came at 38 weeks. 3 friends have given birth in the last 4 weeks - which is lovely for them but makes me
