Who else is 39 weeks plus?

Had no signs at all that baby is on the way yet and starting to feel quite impatient to join the mum club!

I did read this morning that 70% of FTM go 'late' (40weeks+) so I guess it'll happen at some point soon!

Hi! 39 weeks on Monday and also from Maidstone! Feeling. Achy and impatient too, as soon as I’ve stopped work I have sciatica 🙄 so struggling to walk! I’m hoping it will all start soon but no real signs other than some occasional twinges after going to the toilet! X

I'll be 39 weeks Monday, I keep getting little signs no contractions or waters breaking/leaking etc
Was denied s+s last week due to baby head not fixed and was told ny cervix still very thick so not expecting him to come until at least due date. He's my third and 1st was 6 days late and 2nd on due date.

Yeah 39 today and everyone keeps asking me if hes here yet, and panicking whenever I go anywhere but definitely doesn't feel like anything is happening any time soon. I'm resigned to the fact he will be late now x

39+2 still nothing I'm occasionally getting back and tummy cramps but nothing lasting long to call them contractions. I just want to meet my baby girl now. I have an induction booked at 41 weeks x

@Alana did the midwife check your cervix? I've got an appointment next week and not sure whether to ask of there's any indication of him coming..

@Charlotte lol same - 'when are you due?' 'Any minute really' and watch the omg expression appear 😆

I’m 39 + 2 and counting down, don’t feel particularly uncomfortable but just so impatient and generally ready for him to arrive 😂 due date is Thursday and midwife appointment booked for Friday for a potential sweep but I keep hearing they’ll only work if baby is ready and you have two in the space of 48 hours….

39+3 weeks here with my second. Lost my mucus plug yesterday and just felt like crap today but nothing seems to be happening. I’m ready now though. I have a midwife appointment on Wednesday (due date) where they will do a sweep, so just got to wait and see now.

My first was born 41 weeks and 4 days. It gives you an opportunity to practice patience which you’ll need plenty of when they become toddlers 😀

I’m 39+3, I can barely walk or stand straight, the pressure down there is just too much, I don’t know if that’s a sign,no mucus plug, no water leakage.

My first was born at 41+6. I went into labour spontaneously on 41+2. It’s very common for first babies to be late. Try not to focus on the due date as you just end up feeling disappointed. Rest up and enjoy this time!

39+2 and it’s starting to get so hard. Having a sweep Wednesday next week and then being booked an induction If that doesn’t work, just getting impatient and uncomfortable now and as much and people checking in is, the constant “any signs” “are you in labour yet” “gosh she’s taking her time” is just becoming a tad annoying xx

40-weeks today and still waiting. It feels like a good lesson in patience. I’ve just booked to go out for lunch and will continue to try and book nice things in this week to look forward to. I keep going back to the positive birth company mantra: ‘my baby will be born when my baby is ready’. ✌🏼

39+1 today (2nd baby - have a 3 year old and an angel baby). Feeling very fed up mentally and sore physically. Hardly getting any sleep as I just cannot get comfortable. I have PGP, sciatica and very sore piles! Getting on and off Braxton Hicks and having to go for approx 3 💩 per day that are easy to pass. I'm hoping for a home birth this time round

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?
