Hope everything is going well CLH. :thumbup:

Sorry things are not moving along at all yet Little Ducky.

My consultant appointment is tomorrow. My in-laws took a bit of time off to help out and today is there last day off so DH will be looking after DS1 no matter how it happens now. Because DH's work made him book the time off rather than take it when I went into labour next week is his last week off so he won't get as much time with us either. It is all taking so long that I am pretty much going to be on my own doing everything with zero help and I hoped for a little the first few days. I have not had a single internal check so don't even know where I stand. :shrug: His head is so low now I really got no sleep last night and after laying in bed awake for hours I gave in and got up at 5am when the heartburn also kicked in. I am just so fed up of being pregnant now. I was not told exactly what size baby to expect but the MW's I have seen keep commenting on how big he is.
 
Aston Anthony Cole made his way into this world at 1.02am this morning! I only got to the hospital at 12.38am, had an internal we're I was 7cm, got taken into delivery room, waters broke a couple contractions later and he was out in the couple of contraction that followed!

He is 8lbs 9oz! And I will try and do a pic now, I am already at home as my hospital has a turn round time of 3 hours if no problems!
 
Aww, congratulations, he is adorable. It sounds like a really nice labour too!

Is it just me and little ducky now?
 
Another 8lber! I think they need to change the average size from 7 to 8 lol all but one of us on this group have had an 8lb baby. Congrats clh he looks lovely x
 
CLH I was measuring 9 weeks ahead of you but Marlee was only 6 onz heavier!
 
I wasn't carrying a lot of fluid...

My midwife said the average now is usually 8lbs ... 7 isn't the norm anymore on average

I'm pretty tired, been up since 8am yesterday morning!!
 
I think I may have the largest one on the thread by the end. I will be at least 41 weeks when he is born and my scan a few weeks back said he was big, my MW's keep commenting on how big he seems and DH just looked at my last fundamental height measurement and it was in the 90th centile. I had only packed newborn size in my hospital bag but I think I better add some 0-3 months. I was thinking he might be between 8-9lbs but now I am seriously thinking he will be between 9-10lbs.
 
Awwww clh congratulations!!!! Looks like you only just made it to the hospital lol :) enjoy not being pregnant anymore and the cuddles with Aston! What was his length?

Omi, Markus was 8lbs 8oz but he is really tall! He was 57.5cm which is the 99.6 percentile. He only fits in 0-3 months length wise. Belly wise he could fit a lot more in there :)
 
I have packed a bit of both sizes now. I am so glad we didn't buy any tiny baby clothes just in case he was the same size as DS1. I am so ready for him to come soon. I feel like he is coming out of me already and yet still no regular contractions; just Bh's and some cramps, no plug, and no waters braking. I don't understand how he can feel this low and like he is working his way down and yet I am still not in labour. ](*,)
 
We had a load of socks that didn't fit as his feet are so big lol!!!

My friend just had some cramps and some backache, nothing else. Then all of a sudden her waters broke and 40 mins later the baby was born! Shows you don't have to be in pre labour for days. It can all change from 1 minute to the other. Fingers crossed for you and ducky that things will start soon! :dust:
 
Lol. DS1 was tiny but with massive hands and feet.

It feels like he is working his way out and like something started happening yesterday but there is still non or the 3 mains signs of labour. I feel really confused. I just screamed in pain for the first time as it felt like his head got lower (as in coming out not just more pressure) but there was no contraction. Although maybe it was the shock of a sudden pain more than how bad it was that made me scream. :shrug:
 
Congrats to all the new may mummy's and good luck to those of you still waiting! X
 
I had first size from next as his first outfit, it only just fits!
 
Marlee just been weighed 10lb 3 onz now! Midwife said she is defo a good feeder lol. Been signed off from them now and health visitor will be round in a few weeks to see how things are :)

CLH I didn't realise it had changed I thought 7lb 8 was average still.

So far I have the heaviest and passion has the lightest wonder if that will change.

Good Luck to the ladies who are left not long now x
 
first off congratulations clh!!! another very speedy labor and delivery. good work!

I keep coming on to update and then have to toss the phone aside.

I came home from the hospital yesterday, though I wish I'd stayed another night because I can't get my latch right :(
I'm having a lot of pain and my nips are purple. calla is not content after a feeding so I know she's not getting enough even though she feeds for so long.

also I'm wondering if any of you girls have a lot of pressure down there after birth. I have so much pressure and a really hard time holding my pee and poo lol. I can make it to the bathroom but I need to rush sometimes. I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm a bit worse off from pushing for 6 hours. the nurse/midwife seemed concerned about future problems if I don't really keep on top of kegels
ugh! feeling stressed today.
 
here she is, calla Elizabeth
8 lbs 11 Oz & 52 cm
<3
I'll post some better ones later
