Same here 😂 At this point I don’t even answer people’s calls because if I don’t pick up, they automatically think I’m in labour! 🤣😭 I’m just tired of explaining that baby is STILL happily chilling in there 😂😭

I’m 40 weeks + 1 today, and honestly this is the longest I’ve ever waited! At this point I’ve just left it to whatever happens, whenever baby decides to make an appearance.

Okay, but if that does happen, just remember you get to have a whole extra year with your baby before they start school!!

Best advice is have in your mind now that you’re talking 2 weeks after due date. My first was 11 days late that changed the month he was born (Scotland school year is from march 1st and he was march 4th but it makes life easier as no question about deferring!) and my daughter 13 days late but didn’t change month. This baby is due 31st and I’ve been in September 2026 babies from the start 😂😂

I've had 4 people who are in my NCT and yoga group give birth before me and it should have been me next 🙃 I have cried many times. I literally ignore people now when they ask. I have 3-4 people I will answer like close friends who I can vent to, my dad and my Mother in law. But that's it. I've been having on off contractions for 10 days now and I've never in my life wished for pain 🤣 I've caved and booked an induction for next week when I hit 41 weeks

Not sure if it’s just me overthinking but does anyone worry about their little one being youngest in their year? Would you consider pushing them a year back in school so they can catch up? Everyone at work keeps saying try and hold on til September which doesn’t help because it’s already on my mind every day lol. I’m due 21st aug x
