hi everyone,

currently 38+3 so uncomfortable and sleep is elusive

had appointment last week and baby seems to be in no rush to come out, which tends to be the trend on first babies!

I am hoping that I go myself, before my due date but have mentally prepared myself for going over.

hoping everyone else is getting on ok and looking forward to all of the January babies

Due date today and not a peep from baby! Ended up in hospital with a very minor bleed last night so back down today for anti D. Everything looks good though with baby so they were happy to leave me be. Registrar was amazed at how low baby is and that after having sweep etc I still haven’t had baby.

I did talk to midwife about what happens with going overdue and she said they will induce on day 11 if nothing happens before then. So at least I have an end in sight now!

Won’t be long before the flood gates open in this group and we have plenty of babies making their arrivals!

Hi ladies, I have been keeping an eye on this thread but haven't posted yet. I was due baby no.2 on New Years Day but ended up going for an elective c section on 14th Dec when baby was 37 + 3 as I had high bp and wasn't keen on the chances of induction working. Little fella is 3 weeks old and it's just the best feeling in the world. Wishing you all the very best xx

She kept us waiting but Baby Amelia Josephine arrived just after midnight tonight. She’s a bruiser at 9lbs 9oz!! 3 hours from start to finish but she’s doing great.

Ended up having her with just gas and air as I didn’t have time for any other pain relief. Midwife knew it would end up like that but never said anything to me until I was 10cm!!

Ah well, all is good though. Much better experience this time around so a nice lasting memory given she is definitely my last! Can’t stop looking at her.....need to sleep!

Best of luck to everyone else x

Congratulations natc

Congrats Natc and all the other ladies! I am officially 40 weeks tomorrow and longing to look into my babies eyes! Little twinges here and there the past while but nothing major, I don't even think they are Braxton Hicks as I never had them on my first. I don't think head is engaged either as I am managing to walk fine without that feeling of something between my legs lol! But I guess baby has her own agenda! Look forward to hearing from the rest of you and hopefully I'll be able to post some news soon!

hi everyone,

still nothing happening here and 9 days over. had sweep on Thursday but didn't really kickstart anything so in tonight for induction tomorrow. feeling a bit nervous but hoping that the little one makes an appearance before the dreaded oxytocin drip

I am relieved to have an end date in sight, feel like I have been pregnant forever

God I don’t know how your still sane having gone 9 days over...I was losing the will to go on after 4 days! I know induction is not ideal but at least the end is in sight now so just rest as much as you can now because sleep is precious once baby arrives!

I had forgotten just how tiring a newborn can be and coupled with a 4 year old makes for a very tiring experience but as that’s all I have to complain about I’ll count my blessings!

Hi folks I didn't get to post but our little bundle arrived via section on 23rd Jan she's only gorgeous! Waters broke on the Tuesday night so waited till the following morning to head to the hospital and they gave me till 8.30pm that night for contractions to start themselves. No contractions started but cervix was quite favourable. I'd say had they given me a bit more time things would've kick started. I couldn't be induced due to previous section however had I started having contractions myself they could've augmented with a little oxytocin, but couldn't start me off on it as it might be too much on my body. They were also hesitant to give me more than 24hrs after waters breaking due to having GBS so I was caught that way too. Otherwise we are all doing well! Can't believe it's all over, felt like I had been pregnant forever so it's nice now to fit in normal clothes and not have those pesky pregnancy aches and pains!!!

hi everyone

so our little girl finally arrived in the small hours of the 28th. was quite a difficult labour in the end. induction is not a method I would go down in the future if I had a choice.

she is doing great, eating loads and getting good long sleeps at night, we are blessed so far.

glad to have the labour over now and very glad not to be pregnant, however I do miss the bump and having the constant company
