Hello ladies! just wanted to shout out to the world i had my little boy oliver arrived on saturday morning (38 +1). Was having contractions from wednesday friday night they disappeared woke up saturday morning to a real strong contraction then pop waters went at 8:45 got to hospital at 9:30 and oliver arrived at 10:38 all happened so quickly and now have the biggest grin on my face!!!
hope your all doing well. x
Congrats Laura -sounds like everything went really well too. Enjoy your lil man xxxxx
lol -but ppl come on -queue please haha, some of us have been waiting ages lol
Wonder what exactly triggers the birth??? I mean I know when I ovulated and probably conceived (can only be between two dates - which were two days apart) so my dates for EDD were pretty accurate and still I am 1 week overdue! Wish I knew!
Janidog -still early days hun -hope you get your home birth, they are letting me go til 13 days over at home ,then induction. So hope it doesn't come to that -have my pool all ready and I will be so disappointed if I have to end up going in.
Bunny- no harm in asking -I know some of the liverpool ladies had sweeps at 39weeks, but here it's policy to wait until 40w for first timers, and 41w for second/ subsequent babies UNLESS medical reason for earlier intervention (but this would be consultant /doctor decision rather than mw I think). Due to my spd ,my mw would have done one at 40w ( despite baby number 4) but my baby was too high in pelvis, and sitting free soit would have been dangerous. They cannot do a sweep if baby is free from pelvis, cervix is completely closed and posterior or if there is low lying placenta issues.
Hope everyone is having a good day - apart from the £140 it just cost me for two new tyres
I am having a good day -been out, had lunch and got to visit my baby nephew.
Quite fancy having a baby myself now though lol -still no twinges though xxx
