thank you

started of at home but had to be transfered!

going to make a birth story thread later when kids in bed, but he is perfect and we love him
he is 7lb 14oz, havent named him yet tho

Congratulations

I had the same happen a few times with my DC3. False labour starting late at night and dying off in the early hours every other night for a week before I delivered.

Just to update....Natty has had her baby

A little boy .

She has put a pic on facebook, but I don't know any other details.

Good luck Natty, hope it comes soon for you x

oh lulu i wish it was exciting, this pregnancy is dragging on and on, was so sure it was finally over last night.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

how exciting

hot water and towels still on standby...

Gmarksthespot- I am well known for my ability to multi-task from my iPhone

lol daisy!
thanks guys, am hoping to have him soon, as still getting the odd random one, and they are painful lol!

Gosh Natty......sounds like it was all go for a bit there!!!

Next time, a daytime labour thread please

Remind me again, how far away is your due date?

And yes to third labours being tricky....I had been having horrible BH for weeks with bumble and was still playing online scrabble five minutes before my waters broke and telling myself it was just BH, even though they had been getting steadily stronger for five hours!!!!!

False alarms are very common in third babies

pmsl BitOfFourthOfJulyFun. rooting means shagging in Australia. ummm....I think that's what got her on this thread in the first place

Hope it goes well TheNatty

Hope you get some rest TheNatty - and that things start up for you again when you have
< sends loads of quick, complication free labour vibes >

grrrh for you!

midwife been, contractions slowed and less intense, not dialated at all.
shes gone back to hospital, and im going for a bath and to try and grab some sleep.

false alarm it seems, never had one of those b4!

< rooting for you >

sending you lots of positive birthing vibes, TheNatty, you sound wonderfully relaxed! Hope all is progressing well

I'm going to keep checking on you, but am going back to bed...insomnia hell...

that's a very nice name. But you might want to consider calling him George AIBU in honour of MN.

DCs have named him george lmao!
they will be pleased if he is here when they wake

Does baby have a name yet? I'm sure your dcs have been most helpful coming up with possibilities...

though I have a sneaking suspicion that you are going to be a bit too busy to MNet before too long...

i hate this bit, its takes ages to get it going fully.. wanted to have the baby before the kids woke up really..

come on baby!

still here....

I screamed at exp when he got between me and sight of the clock...the only thing that got me through them...

no they are sending one out aparently lol
no idea but last labour was 5 hours from aboutt his level of pain. so maybe 7 or 8am?

well am timing them using an online thingy they are about 2 mins apart and around 35 secs long.
so not toooo bad yet

have the midwives arrived? do we have an ETA on TheTinyNatty?

When I had ds I was induced, so it went from me nipping out to the shop to get some mints, to end stage contractions every two minutes for four hours....aaadffhhh. So I sort of know what its like.

about 2 mins apart.

my labours are always like this, instead of strong contractions that get closer together, i have close together contractions thats get worse and worse.

strange but thats me!

Ooh this is so exciting!

<<boils kettle, looks for clean towels>>

how far apart are the contractions?

at home. this is my third.
got hubby with me!

Are you at home? Whose with you? Is this your first?

<<refers to long list of questions in hand>>

oh yes please!

contractions fairly strong and regular, not screaming yet tho

Actually, for one glorious moment I thought we were going to have a Kerry Katona stylee live webcam feed...a first for MN! But this is a pretty good first too....

Hey theNatty, I might be the only one still up, fancy an online birthing partner??!!

hi guys!
been in labour since about half 12, contacting regulary a few mins apart, going to try and document it on here

currently bouncing on my ball
