How exciting Gem, hopefully it's your turn next

Oooh exciting Gem! Keep us posted.

I'm optimistically guessing I'll go 3 days over so bubs will arrive on 15th weighing 8lb 4oz. And I'm still team yellow but strongly thinking a boy!

Although in reality I'll prob be getting induced on the 24th! Aaahhhh. This baby is never going to appear I can just feel it! x

Aw laura, happy birthday for yesterday!
Toby's birthday is 4 days after mine... 1 day after DFs. Madness!
Didn't sleep a wink last night. Poor little man was full of gunk so I stayed up with him so DF could get some sleep. (You wouldnt think it was me who gave birth, poor guy was totally drained and asleep by 11pm... I finally got to sleep at 7am!)

Everyones doing really well today though... Oh, I'm so in love it's ridiculous.

And look at the hair! No wonder I had terrible heartburn

Caro - good luck with the appointment this afternoon!
gemsy - hope this is it for you!!
Cottleston - he is PERFECT! what a beautiful boy! I so want to see what my little man will look like now, it's crazy!

I think i will go to term and lil man will be 8 pounds 2 oz ... that's the prediction anyways, watch he will go overdue and i'll have a whale on my hands! The doctor already said "he has a BIG head!" haha great.... this is going to be painful! haha

Congratulations Cottles!! He is sooo cute and what a good labour

Not fair! I'm due tomorrow and after a bit of action last week bump has gone very quiet, no symptoms, I'm so BORED!!!

 

[bernina]

Cottleston, he is adorable, thank you for sharing the pictures. I love the picture of Mommy and baby!!

Gem, really hope this is the start of labor for you and that Ollie decides to make an appearance very soon. Keep us posted!!

Had my 39 week appt, still 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, -1 station. Dr stretched the cervix a bit (assume that's similar to a sweep) to see if he could get things moving. Noticed a bit more plug came out but so far nothing else. Was painful when he did it but no lasting pain so not that bad.

I mentioned that baby was moving a bit less the last few days so he did an ultrasound to check fluid levels (all good) and then a NST which was also fine. I haven't seen little one on u/s since 20 weeks, she is so much bigger. Couldn't really even make out what was what because she filled up the whole screen.

Getting some very very mild cramping sensations just now but could just be because bladder is full and I need to go take care of that. Really hope something gets started soon!!

 

[bubba no.1]

aww congrats Cottleston, he's adorable

 

[JeepGirl]

Congrats to all the new moms

Still no progress for me. I have a OB appt on Monday and if he hasn't come on his own by then they are going to book an induction Now I'm starting to get scared. I wasn't at all scared of going into labour on my own, but being induced is freaking me out. I have heard its more painful and sometimes can take days. I hate hospitals and really don't want to be in there any longer than I have to be.

 

[bernina]

I understand your worries JeepGirl and would be feeling the same. What I can tell you is a good friend was induced and her labor went just fine once it got going. In fact she managed without any pain meds.

Eat lots of pineapple and have lots of sex this weekend and make sure to go for a few long walks to get gravity working for you.

Really hoping you start up soon on your own and deliver before your appointment Monday

Aww Cottles - he is simply gorgeous! Beautiful pics!

Gem - FXD this is the real thing this time!

xx

 

[chocojen]

Cottleson he is adorable, and you look good too, well done xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[JakesMummy]

Inwas induced Hun and I wouldn't have called my labour extremely painful just very fast - 3 hours! But then again each one is different! Just go in with an open mind

Cottleston - you look fantastic!! Toby is sooo adorable look at all the hair!! Well done x

 

[babybefore30]

Congrats Cottles and all the other new mommas. Good Luck Gem, after a few days of mild pains have woken up with nothing today my stomach keeps going really tight but at least I am term now so if I do start to have contractions I can have him in the birthing centre.

 

[chocojen]

Thats what I am aiming for to baby before 30, I have to make it to the 5th though as the mW has decided to go for the 26th as my EDD to give me less chance of needing to be induced. I really want to go to the birthing centre its soooooooooooooo much nicer than the main unit at the other hospital.

 

[cola pops]

Congratulations to everyone who has their babies xxx
Cottleston- Toby looks gorgeous, you are soooooo lucky. I can't wait now....... Come on baba x

 

[lilgemsy]

Aww Cottles, Toby is absolutely gorgeous! Give him some cuddles on my behalf ^_^ x

Ah Im still getting the pains. They seem to be coming every 10 to 15 mins so lets hope this is the real deal!
If they stop now then I think Ill cry haha!
Ollie still isnt moving much, if at all... just hope hes ok. When I get the pains my stomach goes tight though and can see like the shape of him kinda. Looks mad!

Bernina - FXd it all kicks off for you soon! x

 

[bernina]

Those pains sound promising Gem, coming every so often like that. Really hope they pick up for you soon and you get to meet your little man before the weekend is over!!
