39+6 and everyone is waiting...

My due date is tomorrow and it seems everyone around me is so edgy. I guess it doesn't help that my first daughter set a precedent by arriving actually on her due date.

I have no more symptoms than I had last week but all promising in their own way: strong Braxton hicks, backache, sensitive breasts, a little crampiness and mood swings.

Baby has dropped very low and seems to prefer being back-to-back, but intermittently turns sideways for a change.

I know baby will come when he/she is ready, but it is like everyone is expecting something from me...ah well, looks like further cross stitching/tv/ball bouncing etc. for me today...looking forward to posting exciting news on here soonish :-)

I'm due tomorrow as well! My son was 3 days early so this is the most pregnant I've ever been - the constant calls and texts are driving me mad! Especially my in-laws, I think they're worried that I'm going to have the baby and just forget to tell them ;-)

Sending labour dust your way, let's hope that we're both in for due date babies x

Ohhhh look forward to some good news xx

I've had quite a few calls and texts recently as well so I know how you feel. It would be amazing to have another born on the due date! My second was induced and born 9 days early.

Here's hoping we'll both be posting our pictures and sharing birth stories soon x

Here's hoping things start properly for you soon - your experience last night certainly sounds promising and your body is prepping for the real thing. Fingers crossed it won't be long now :-)

seems everyone gets excited waiting. Had lots of txts and phonecalls to, everyone trying to predict when going to happen. Best was my dad ringing asking if I was in labour - yes, because I'll be worrying about answering my fone then won't I? Good luck and hope some good news soon. I've 5 days til edd so hopefully there'll be lots of congrats to be had all round soon :) x

Ah, you too! I know what you mean about answering the phone being rather low on your list of priorities when you actually are in labour lol. Good luck to you as well and looking forward to hearing your news :-) x
