oooo you are so lucky, never dawned on me till now that it was even GOOD to have babies early, i constantly worried he would come early, but a few weeks would have been perfect!

I hope he moves soon for you so you can get more comfortable. Try to wait for Paul to get home though.
Wow, soooo many late boys!!!!!! xx

And my daughter actually turned up on the day she was due.
Only it was a leap year so Tuesday 13 March 1968 was, in fact, Tuesday 12 March 1968.
Son, second and lastborn, was four weeks early which was A Good Thing as they had been threatening me with a 10lb baby [no scans in those days, just guesses]. As it was
he was 7lb 14oz and that was four weeks early?
Your bubby will turn up when he is ready. He probably is far too comfortable where he is at the moment and cannot be bothered to make the effort to stir himself and enter the world.
But he will, and I have already booked my place to be his honorary grandma!
wow, i'm so pleased he was early for you! And fancy your daughter turning up on her due date, i thought that never happened!

My eldest was 4 weeks early, I didn't even realise I was in labour I just kept getting twinges that paracetamol wasn't getting rid of so rang the hospital to ask if I could take something else and when they asked me to describe the pain and the length of gap between they said to get my ass in asap, I was only there for a couple of minutes before my waters broke and shortly after my son was born, he came so fast they had no time to give me pain relief.
My second was a week early I was booked in for induction due to health concerns but when I arrived they discovered my cervix was already fully open so told me to go home and if I hadn't gone into labour through the night to go back in the morning for my waters to be broken which I did and was in heavy labour within minutes.
Oo lovely early babies, i'm sooo going to be like that with this baby, i'm really not sure that I'll know when i'm in labour!! I really hope my waters go first as that seems more of a clue than any tummy pains! I get bloated, and little tightenings, have done for weeks, i guess i just expect the pains to be more painful or go round to my back which i've never had.

I chose before ... thinking of all those choc's
I went in on the 11th April to be induced and have what they called a controlled birth (with the possibility of a C section) spent the whole of the 12th in labour and finally they got him out on the 13th
then spent Easter in hospital
However with the second my dates where for the 26th May, but I fell down the stairs on the 21st May, he decided it was too rocky in there and was born 40 mins later
Thankfully no harm done
Wow, you gave birth to a breech baby naturally?!!! Well done! Our boy was breech till a few weeks ago and they were SO keen to get me in for a c section at 39 weeks, to do everything to avoid a natural laboiur! Luckily he turned at just over 37 weeks. Hope you still got easter eggs!!!!!
Thank god everything was ok after you fell down the stairs! Heehee far to rocky in there for him then, lol!

First time round I finally got to the stage one evening that I was just so naffed off and uncomfortable that I phoned my Mum in tears. She told my other half that she was sure I had started labour then and it was my hormones causing me to be soooooo emotional. She was right, he was born 4 hours after the phone call!! I know you'll be very uncomfortable at the moment but believe me the you will get even less rest after your new little one arrives!!
You must feel like every 'mum-to-be', the excitement of actually seeing what he/she looks like etc etc. Good luck.
Aw thankyou, 10 and 9 days late
You must have the patience of a saint, i hope i can bear to wait that long if i have to! Not too emotional yet, although had an awful night, Paul was snoring sooo loud, acid reflux, felt really sick, a bit hot and cold so couldn't sleep so did end up with a few tears

Hope it's not too much longer for you. x
Wow, you did well to give birth naturally to a breech baby!!! I'm glad for you that she came a week early than late - size wise!
