Am 38 weeks today!! Feeling v pleased and amazed.(aswell as tired). Can’t believe I have got to this point and will hopefully meet my lil bubba soon. Been 6+ years been waiting for this so really hope all goes well. Been having all sorts of good and bad dreams 😑

Out of interest when did you all have ur babies-I.e early or late? Got no signs at mo well part from but braxston hicks maybe and some cramps 🤔🙃. Unsure she has dropped yet either but is head down so is a start. ☺️

I bet these last few weeks feel as long as the whole rest of the pregnancy. It did for me, anyway. I got to 38 weeks and was thinking - any time now...

She was finally born at 40+6!! And she still had to be 'evicted' even then!! Hope your little one doesn't keep you waiting that long and everything goes smoothly. Looking forward to seeing your update xxx

Thank u for sharing hun. Yep let’s hope it not too much longer. 40+ 6 doesn’t sound too bad kinda. Be happy to wait til then but not much longer☺️. Def does feel like a long time now this last bit esp when so tired. Xx

Not long now. I was 12 days late! Induced on day 11 xx

Aww how exciting, not long now! My little boy came at 38+6, the only sign I had was I started losing bits of my plug from 38 weeks. Good luck with everything, hope you don't have to wait much longer x

Ahh that lovely and good timing. Hmm not loosing any thing at mo just odd period pains and don’t think she dropped yet. Hmm see what happens. Hope not much longer too. Thanks for sharing xx

Can’t believe you’re 38 weeks not long to go yay 😀 My son came at 39 +1 weeks & my daughter came 40+4 weeks. Both of my labours started when I lost my mucus plug both were intense but very short ( under 6 hours!) The last part of the pregnancy can drag & all you want is your baby to arrive safely especially after such a hard journey. Good luck with the birth hope all goes smoothly. I look forward to hearing your arrival announcement not long till your baby will be in your arms 😍❤️ xxx

Oooh so exciting! I remember the anticipation well!

I finished work just before 38 weeks and was ready for her to come. Every night I'd go to bed thinking "tonight could be the night" but it never was! When I was actually in labour I didn't believe it (contractions started as very mild period pains in the back, which I thought were BH). Anyway, I got to 41+1 (sorry) but I wasn't induced and, like Jess, my labour started shortly after losing my mucus plus and was fast and intense. Amazing though!

I hope she makes an appearance soon xx

38+6. Long story but I was due for induction at 39 the next day anyway. I had emergency c section as baby’s heart rate was high all day and couldn’t be stabilised but according to the graphs when I was hooked up, the regular tightenings I’d been having (she would go into a hard ball which was quite uncomfortable) were actually contractions 10 minutes apart.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your update soon xx
