It seems as though the dec ladies have all gone awol. Is anyone still hanging on? I really thought I'd have had the little monkey by now but I just know its going to be xmas day. Feeling far bigger than last time, its about it was est 8.6lb last tues by a scan. Had all the ready feelings like blitzing the house, hormonal, twinges etc. for what seems like an eon. Really wanted to have it before xmas for my 21 month olds sake. Hope everyones ok?

Thanks faiza, thats really lovely.
It looks like I'm on my own though and everyones popped. Thought it was going to be last night. I started having regular (every 10 mins)but not very long (30-35 seconds)contractions at about 3 ish this morning and after a couple of hours they stopped!! Gutted!! Hubby stayed off today just in case, but feel like a fraud now. Told him not to bother but I think he's enjoying the time with my other one. Perhaps it is imminent, don't think I'll go overdue, feel too ready. Fingers crossed eh?
Merry Christmas to everyone.

I'm still here . . just havent been on for a while cause no one else from December was here lol

Went for a scan on the 9th (to check growth and position) and was told baby is the right way up (YAY) and about 8lbs . . well she is still hanging in there . . No contractions . . nothing . . She isnt engaged yet lol !!

I really wanted her here for christmas . . but not too disapponted . . Just happy to still be happy and healthy at 40weeks now!!

I have an appointment with a consultant next wed (28th I believe) for them to check hopw things are but I really dont want to be induced unless really needed hehe

Anyways . . Happy Holidays

I had a mother who was having her third child. Due Dec 25th.

The second pregnancy ended with a c/section, and she so much wanted to have a vaginal birth.

This pregnancy, she went to all the classes, yoga, swimming etc and would you believe she ended up with a c/section on Tuesday 20th Dec due to the baby being breech!!

Her husband was so very much looking for a normal birth by the due date. But ironically, he said he wanted her to have the baby on the 20th so she could be home for Xmas, and it happened. But not the way he thought. (Weird).

They have a beautiful baby girl weighing 8lbs!! No name yet.
