[MrsB2105]

Aww redhead the end is definitely in sight for you
Is it tomorrow you finish Naomi?
Let us know if you get a date Sansk x

Hi ladies, thanks for the good luck messages xx
Went first on the list this morning and my boy was born at 9.51am weighing 7lbs 11ozs and he's just perfect

He's struggling to latch on but we're hand expressing colostrum for him and his blood sugars are perfect. Got one more blood sugar or him to pass and he won't need any more done!
Here he is

SCN just sneaking over to say massive congratulations, so pleased for you and he is just gorgeous xx

 

[naomi88]

Hope your growth scan goes well sansk and that they give you a date.

Yep tomorrow is my last day Caroline! I'm so relieved. Really crampy today and very uncomfortable, and millie slept in with me last night because she wouldn't settle so I've had barely any sleep! Just went out for my farewell lunch and got about a hundred things to try and do before the end of the day tomorrow! Roll on 5pm tomorrow! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Oh busy busy for you ... Just think you have just under 27 hours left until you walk out of the doors at work x

 

[Lander]

That seems kind of pointless when you are practically full term lol but needs must I suppose ... Come on baby Lander x

Well they've called with an appt tomorrow morning. No idea what they'll want to do afterwards.

 

[naomi88]

Thanks Caroline. Feels good to be on the official countdown! I'm so achy right now I'm starting to panic that it could happen before I'm finished! Want a few days off before it all kicks off!! Xxx

Congratulations to those who have had their babies! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous!

I had my 38 week midwife appointment today. Everything is still going well - Baby's head is still "free" which I'm not too concerned about! She's just told me to get bouncing on the birthing ball haha!

My next appointment is the 13th of September which means - if the baby isn't here - I'll be one day overdue.

I've no idea when this little one will make its appearance. I've had a few lower back pains, loose stools and I was sick last night so I think my body is preparing for labour but I'm just going with, "Baby will come when the baby is ready" idea so if I'm overdue then I'm overdue and if I'm early well then that's a bonus!

 

[Aragon]

Awwwww congratulations SCN he's gorgeous!! Xx

 

[SiameseCatLady]

Grrrr. Now been told have excess fluid build up under bump... ��������
Bit scared I have polyhydramnios... Measuring 40cm on Sunday morning and 39 weeks tomorrow. Midwife casually mentioned it and have had scan (a week ago on Sunday) so should be fine right?!
I can't cope with anymore anxiety!

So glad your handsome boy has passed all of his tests, scn. Onwards and upwards. He'll soon start bleeding you dry of milk! As you say, it takes time, I think.
Enjoy your first night as a real life true mummy!
Xxx

Never heard of it, but if it is of concern they would do something wouldn't they? You are not having a fun time are you x

Nope....
But I am still here! Keep getting Braxton Hicks tonight. Bath sort of settled them down but not hugely...
Have a feeling I may be close. Sweating like a pig and some of them are making me call out. Midwife today said fluid probably just fat, so all good there and didn't say I was engaged, but pelvis says it might be!
Oh well. Only time will tell! 31st August would be interesting! Off to sleep... Hopefully!

 

[MrsB2105]

Wow, sounds as though we could be having some appearances rather soon
Hope the scan goes well tomorrow lander
1 more shift Naomi
Deeatk my son was overdue, I got really fed up but you can't force them out can you it feels weird having early babies, my apps on my phone keep telling me how pregnant I am, although I just currently look fat, it's as if someone popped me with a balloon lol x

 

[Kholl]

Yay for finishing work and welcoming babies!

Looks like I'll 100% be a September mama with you all. 40+5 and a whole lotta nothing going on here! I can't lie I am sooooo depressed. Each day feels like I'm getting farther away from meeting this baby instead of closer cause it's just so disheartening having day after day after day past my due date of no signs whatsoever. Can't believe I'm about to enter the world of NSTs and induction talk. I want this baby out so badly.

 

[MrsB2105]

Aww at least you only have just over a week left maximum, baby will be here one way or another x

 

[Lander]

Well by scan measurements he's 10lb or 4.5kg which is 0.5kg off their c section immediately criteria here so we're waiting to speak to a consultant to put plan in place (seeing as no one's actually discussed my birth plan with me previously anyway!).

I hope to discuss induction starting as naturally as possible, sooner rather than later.

Baby himself is fine though. Good movements etc
Good news though, swab from triage on Sunday is clear for thrush.

 

[mummy2b1985]

I've just been to the hospital for all my pre op bloods and checks. Everything is fine and we are all set to meet baby on Friday. Can't believe it's only two more sleeps I'm so excited. Hope everyone is doing well.

So... consultant happily did internal. Favorable enough for sweep which she did and I'm going back tomorrow morning to be induced as neither consultant or DH and I want to risk him gaining even more weight into next week.

 

[naomi88]

Wow more babies on there way this week then!! How exciting!! Lander best of luck tomorrow, glad they're inducing you now as bet you don't really fancy baby getting any bigger!!! Growth scans are often a bit out though.

Mummy2b good luck for Friday two more sleeps is nothing!

Well, I've finally had my last day of work, yippee!! Hope everyone else who is finishing today has had a good day. I'm so relieved to be done - had the worst back ache all day and just couldn't get comfy in my chair. Going to miss some of my colleagues though!

Going to start ball bouncing tomorrow in the hope that baby will get engaged at some point. Happy to have a bit of time with my girl first though before baby arrives! Planning something for every day so that I'm not just waiting around for something to happen!

Hope all the babies that are here so far are doing well! Xxx

[MrsB2105]

Was it a good feeling walking out of work Naomi?

I have just become really excited for mummy2be and Lander

Lander your baby will be the easiest thing to handle ever, practically an adult lol x
