Let the August Babies Be Born!

[ajarvis]

Thanks JTR! Good reads!

Good luck Libra & Laura, I'm hoping it's the beginning for you!

Does anyone know if a slight headache, tailbone ache (only when upright) and an offish stomach are signs of anything? I never get headaches, just a bit curious is all 😊

I'm in Greater London Bexley UK, I've been told they will do a sweep at 40 weeks and then at 41 weeks. And induce at 41+5 if baby hasn't arrived by then.
Im desperately hoping to not be induced but we shall see what happens.

I am also in Bexley, how crazy is that?!

Wow! That is super crazy, small world. And our due dates are very close together too.
Are you going to the QE hospital, Darenth or another?

I'm going to Darenth, what about you?

QE hospital.
I hope it all goes well for you Freddie

Thanks, you too!!!

Good luck to those who are in labour or the beginning of it.
I am so super uncomfortable today, have the worst kind of heartburn which wont subside even with antacid. and then this leg and back cramps.


Tuesday come soon, although now I am so scared for this C-section. So many things can go wrong with me and the baby.... I am dead worried.

My due date is just one week away, but the baby is still not engaged, so in a way, I know this time also I would have ended up with a C-section.

take care ladies, soon we will be done-

My husband just massaged my leg with tiger balm. I don't know if it will help the cramps, but it feels really soothing. Might be worth a try

TMI Warning!!!! Is this mucus plug or bloody show. Trying to read up on it but not really sure. Didn't get this with my first! Sorry about the gross picture. Loosing loads of this. Pains have stopped I'm just achy.

 

[Cazran25]

Looks like what I lost the day I had DD! Eeek, good luck!

My plug started coming away today, not long now ladies xx

 

[lauraairving]

Ahhh I really don't feel like any things Guna happen so we'll see! Xx

 

[Cazran25]

Either way it's all positive stuff that's happening, I'm still not sure I want this baby to come out yet, DD is having a sleepover at nanny's so I'm looking forward to my lie in lol x

 

[babyboy16]

@laura yes that's the mucus plug! I lost mine the day before I delivered! So good luck! Baby Mason arrived 8/18 at 5:05am, 7lbs, 10 oz and 21
1/2 inches long! Finally the wait is over!

babyboy, massive congratulations on the arrival of the new one, post pics when you get time and take good care of yourself.

Suze12, yes its only 3 more days, although I hope that are babies will have no breathing issues etc as they are full term. I have a general check-up on Monday, will let you know all the instructions I get etc.

 

[VickyLou]

Congratulations babyboy16.

Only 3 days till my due date but I don't think this madam is budging anytime soon. Although I have woke this morning and feel like she's dropped. I feel like I have loads of energy too. Saw midwife on Thursday who said I'm 1cm dilated, cervix is medium and almost down. See my consultant on Thursday to talk induction so praying this madam arrives on her due date. Good luck to the ladies that a due any day now. Xx

 

[nickinakinoo]

Still no baby here! Had a sweep yesterday and lost my plug last night also had stomach cramp throughout the night but I've felt nothing since other than what might be braxton hicks. Very fed up and in huge amount of pain

 

[VickyLou]

Sounds promising for you though huni. Hopefully things will start real soon for you. Don't think it will be too much longer now though if you have lost your plug And having pains x

 

[lauraairving]

Congrats baby boy!! Absolutely nothing here so I'm just going to get on with it and face facts this baby is teasing!

Does anyone have the link to the August watermelons Facebook page? I'd love to keep updated with u all. I know I won't be on here again much once baba is here x

 

[LilRed Mel]

Congrats Babyboy16
And best wishes ladies. You are all so close. I haven't lost my plug yet so am just waiting patiently.

 

[Happyveggie]

Congratulations babyboy! Nothing happening here, now 4 days overdue. Had massive hot flush earlier which must be hormones but led to nothing. Just feel queasy. Sweep booked for Monday, praying it works
