Childbirth

Another live birth thread? But it's inconvenient!

Just phoned labour suite and have been told to wait, take paracetamol, try to get back to sleep...
All day yesterday my tummy was hard, but was ok when resting. Went to bed with indigestion and low grade period like pain. Woke up with pains every 7-10 minutes, bit of red spotting on the pad and pinkish discharge on the paper.
But I've got things planned! Carpet fitters! I'm not ready yet! (Well I am and frankly can't wait )

Oh exciting jucy! How Many weeks are you? I'm currently sat in bed on a towel trying to figure out if my waters are leaking or I've wee'd in my sleep!

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 04:09

I'm 39+2. Baby's head was 4/5 engaged 2 weeks ago so even though midwife scheduled another appointment (for tomorrow) she said good luck I probably won't see you!
Chester I quite often felt like that, but I was hot and sweaty sleeping on absorbent bed mat . How far along are you?

SomeonesRealName · 03/11/2015 04:22

Ooh how are you both doing? I'll never get back to sleep now!!

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 04:38

I'm trying to get back to sleep, but I can't. Still contracting. I really want to wait till morning so we can take our DD to school...

OP posts:

SomeonesRealName · 03/11/2015 04:44

It's not long now till morning. Maybe have a warm bath. Do you know what you're having? X

ExBallerina · 03/11/2015 04:47

Ohh how exciting!

Do you know what you're having? Any name picked out?

ChesterCake · 03/11/2015 04:51

I phoned delivery and they wanted the check its waters so I'm here now and it definitely is! Scary now! I'm 38+1 today and went over due with DS so it's a bit surreal!
How are you feeling? It'll seem easier in the day light I hope!

SomeonesRealName · 03/11/2015 05:06

How long were you with DS in labour? Have I got time to nip and make a cup of tea I wonder...

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 05:27

We're having another surprise, and still not 100% decided on the names .
Just taken paracetamol and made myself a cup of tea. DH and DD are asleep. Baby's still wriggling. I'll try warm bath or shower. Not long till morning.
Chester good luck! Keep strong, don't forget to breathe!

SomeonesRealName · 03/11/2015 05:35

Are they still every 7-10 minutes?

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 05:42

Yes, more or less.

Just cleaned baby's car seat

Jucy and Chester - best of luck. 2 live birth threads, 2 on each. The race is really on! I phoned in at 1ish as the contractions were every 3 minutes then but they told me to wait until I felt I needed help. By 2.30pm they'd tailed off, enough for me to sleep! So just waiting. Will send DH off to take my little one to my friend's when they wake up!
Hope all is well.

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 06:54

My contractions are still going, now every 4-5 minutes. I've just had a nice bath which helped with pain, but I'm so tired now, haven't slept since before 3am. I'll ring triage soon, ask if I have to go.

OP posts:

SomeonesRealName · 03/11/2015 07:36

Hope you don't have too long to go Jucymyname. Sounds like you're progressing nicely. Let us know what they say!!

ChesterCake · 03/11/2015 08:20

Sounds like it's going along nicely jucy! I'm at home bouncing on the ball to try and get things moving. Irregular 8-10 mins apart here!

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 10:09

Im in hospital. 5 cm. On gas and air. I just want to sleep! Maybe a little snooze between contractions?

Keep bouncing chester.

BlueBananas · 03/11/2015 10:12

Ooo this is all so exciting! I have a live birth thread on the go ATM too! Yours seems to be progressing much faster though jealous!

Good luck

cornishglos · 03/11/2015 13:23

Jealous too, but best of luck!

Jucymyname · 03/11/2015 16:26

Update: baby Adam is here. Born just after 3pm happily feeding on the second breast . I had to have quite a few stiches (ouch).

How are you doing chester?

OP posts:

cornishglos · 03/11/2015 16:41

BlueBananas · 03/11/2015 16:42

Oh wow! Massive congratulations on baby Adam, jucy! How big was he?
I got up to 4 min apart contractions and now they seem to have just completely stopped! Hoping it comes back before 9am or I'm in for induction

cornishglos · 03/11/2015 18:34

Chester, we are in exactly the same boat then... My induction is booked for 9am. Not sure how to stay positive now? So tired and so want to avoid induction but nothing's working!

ChesterCake · 03/11/2015 18:57

It's horrible isn't it! I'm swaying between going for a lot of laps walking round the block etc to try and get things going or just going to bed now and saving my energy for induction tomorrow :( I'm still having the odd contraction but it's like one an hour!
