That stretchy means waters pop and another 2-3 cms and the cervix will just open up and little blue head will slip thru. Get a net or something to catch him just in case.MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/20000 -

Well little boy blue arrived this morning and he is absolutely gorgeous.
I woke up at 1am unable to get back to sleep. Lay there for a while and heard/felt a little pop. 2 a.m I went to the toilet ..nothing. Walked back to bed and my waters trickled out at 2:05.
I phoned the midwife as I started to get twinges, she came at 2:30 and my pains had increased but only lasting 30 seconds or so. They really were nothing and concerned me as I didnt think they would go anywhere. She did a internal and I was 9cm dilated! At 3:10 I felt the urge to push and our little boy was born with one push, followed by his little body.
8lb 3oz and absolutely perfect and gorgeous and content. He's lay on the bed now just watching me, his little face has changed so much already. He has the longest fingers and looks just like his daddy.
I'm so happy but feeling tired but thats because we have lost a nights sleep from seeing him arrive and just watching him all night.
My daughter 14 months looks absolutely massive today! She's such a big girl now
I really am the luckiest woman alive.
Thank you everyone for keeping me going and being so supportive.
