Fantastic Musical how exciting! Get ready for a BIG sneeze.

musicalmrs · 17/05/2012 07:36

Sent home, only 2cm and not regular enough. In the bath now, then might try and get more sleep..!

scarletfingernail · 17/05/2012 08:03

2cm is great progress for a first birth Musical. Once you get past 3/4 it'll be much quicker. I told you your LO would be here by the end of the weekend! I reckon sometime tomorrow at the latest now. Really I think it'll be by midnight tonight Brooking like mad for you.

Woohoo Musical you're on the way! Enjoy your bath and rest, it will be go o go by the afternoon Smile

Biscuitsandtea · 17/05/2012 08:09

Ooh well done Musical - as Scarlet says, 2cm is good progress so far. Enjoy your bath and hope you get a bit of sleep. You'll need all your energy for that BIG sneeze Grin

jaggythistle · 17/05/2012 08:17

go musical!

definitely think trying to get some sleep sounds a good idea.

DreamingOfPeace · 17/05/2012 08:33

Hope you are managing some rest musical, you'll have your baby so soon, eeek, so exciting!!!

musicalmrs · 17/05/2012 09:11

Personally I'm hoping it'll be today... Grin. We'll see though. Had a very long bath... just having DH make me some tea and toast, and then will be back to monitoring contractions and trying to nap. I did get a reasonable amount of sleep last night (for me!), so I'm not too worried!

Think I/my body went a bit mad initially and I was having lots of short ones very close together, but they seem to be calming down now and stronger, but more regular. They seem to be thrown into disarray whenever I try and do anything other than relax, so I've given up monitoring while actually doing things like putting clothes on!

Also not worried about the 2cm - was more worried that I'd be absolutely nowhere (and that they weren't really contractions, even though I was pretty sure!). They gave me labour notes and were pretty sure I was in early labour, and co-codamol - which doesn't seem to have taken the edge off, which the MW said would be another sign that it was proper labour. Hurrah!

Thanks for all the lovely messages.. :)

Wants, Jen, any news? :)

jenfraggle · 17/05/2012 09:15

Go musical! Nothing here, just another bit of show last night so that was 6 times yesterday. I did say that you would beat me

musicalmrs · 17/05/2012 09:23

It's not over 'til the newborn cries Jen! Wink. And as Wants isn't a first timer, she could sneeze hers out a lot quicker than me.. :)

ScrambledSmegs · 17/05/2012 10:12

Go musical! Contractions sound v positive Smile. Good luck!

Wants3 · 17/05/2012 10:47

How exciting musical I hope it all goes well!

musicalmrs · 17/05/2012 11:25

Gearing up now - much more painful, about 3 mins apart, lasting about 1 1/2 mins. Suspect I'll be calling the hospital again soon...

jenfraggle · 17/05/2012 11:39

Sounds like you'll have your baby by the end of the day musical. What was it you did to start yourself off again? :o

Biscuitsandtea · 17/05/2012 11:50
