Due today
And no signs apart from the period like cramps I've been having for a few weeks now. I had my show a few days ago and I'm still having some brown spotting but that's about it.
My waters broke at 40+2 with my first baby and I had her at 40+4. I think this little one is going to be late like his sister.
I am so over being pregnant. I just want to lie on my stomach and eat soft cheeses again.

You had your baby two days after your water broke? Isn’t there a 24 hr deadline?
Yeah, it caused a lot of problems. I contracted sepsis and the infection passed on to my daughter so we were both in hospital for quite a while after the birth.
It's actually something I'm really angry about these days, because at the time I was a clueless 23 year old FTM and trusted the midwives who sent me home without any antibiotics or monitoring. I'm from the UK and I think there is a 24 hour deadline here too but someome somewhere dropped the ball and I didn't know enough about the risks to advocate properly for myself.
Thankfully I'll know better if the same thing happens again this time.
That is terrible! I’m so sorry that happened to you and your daughter.
