due today!!

[baby1onway]

anyone else due today??no sign so far, has anyone actually had their 1st on their due date?? x

I'm not due for a couple of weeks (and would not be surprised if I was a week late), but if you check out the October ante-natal thread you will find some other ladies waiting for things to kick off.

Only a very few babies (4%?) come on their due date, though, so don't be disappointed if yours keeps you waiting for another week or so!

Good luck!

ooh congrats!!!
fwiw am not pg but saw it in active convos and wanted to say good luck - am so excited for you!!
everything ready just in case?xx

Good luck

Ds was 2 weeks early and dd 1 day late

iirc only about 5% arrive on due date,but it will be soon,wahey!!

Is it your first?

mavis have you seen op name?

Duh (Homer Simpson emoticon)

In my defence have been on nights and have had stressful morning getting dcs toschool!I need to go to bed!LOL!

Ohh will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

How exciting! Mine have been elective c-sections so I've never had the excitement of an unpredictable due date. I have a friend who had her first three on their due dates, although I think she was very unusual. I'm assuming you know all the tricks about sperm, curry, etc. - perhaps a takeout and a night of lurve might be in order???

I hope that things get moving for you soon (but also hope that you enjoy the last bit of your pregnancy).

Best of luck!

lol pardon is granted i hate mondays too!

Only 5% arrive on the due day, BUT 80% arrive within a week either side, so your little one is unlikely to keep you waiting much longer!
Good luck!

I have six weeks left, I don't think I could deal with even a day longer..!!

i was due 5 days ago and it doesnt seem like shes coming out anytime soon...

am really fed up just want to hold her in my arms now.

good luck

has any1 tried raspberry leaf tea? that's supposed to help start uterine contractions

I have a pot of them, but haven't started taking them yet... Had a labour scare last week, so dunno if that would be tempting fate!

crikey maybe not then! i think that you can start taking them in the last 3 weeks or so?
will ask around for lulumama as she's a doula and is far more qualified than me lol

Hehe. I heard you can take them from 33 weeks, but after last week I dunno..!!! Might leave it till next week. Or maybe the week after. Or maybe the week after that...

done xx

lol

Or maybe I'll just take them afterwards to be on the safe side..!!

i have been drinking the stuff for weeks and its done nothing... i just think she wants me to get a scare at the thought of being induced and then she'll come the night before lol

Curry tonight then, Willows!!!

very excited..but disappointed!not that i just expected that 2day id go into labour coz its the 5th october but ive waited soooo long!!having a hot chilli 2nite, bf wrks nite's so no chance of loving 4me this evenin- feel like a whale 2b honest so not sure i actually could!lol.midwife said its ok 2 take raspberry leaf tea after 38wks, and doesnt bring on labour but helps speed it up when u r. sweep on wed...eeek!hope he comes b4 then!!
long walk, chilli, bottle of gaviscon :D x

Don't tell me it gets worse, I already feel like a whale... Hope he turns up for you soon!!

DS came 2 days after due date...latent phase began early hours of day after due date and he arrived 24 hours later! Oh, and I had a sweep.....but your bub will come when ready but you must be feeling SO uncomfortable!

Good luck!! How exciting. (DC 2 due in 6 weeeeeks and I am HUGE!)

I had my DD1 on the day that i was told i was shocked and then i had DD2 the day before due date so go figure! i have 16 weeks to go and im just praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby!
Good luck, fingers and toes crossed and prayers and best wishes to you all who r due today or real soon lets call it a - count down
