Hi all
Cathfin, I'm the same regarding the fact that I can't recall much of the beginning of labour from DS1. I keep thinking that I should really remember it all, but I just don't. So now struggling with every twinge etc, thinking....is this it.....no..........it this it.....no.
PP Hopefully your DM didn't mean what she said and it just came across wrong. My DM often says things without thinking them through. Mind you, she's been living with me now for over 3 weeks, so that she can look after DS1 when I go to hospital and she will stay until whenever I ask her to go. Last time she came down she stayed for 5 months helping me out in the absence of an au pair.

Come on the June babies, where are you.........Blondie, hope things are progressing for you, I have my fingers x for you.

Hope everyone is well and having a great jubilee weekend. Take care and I hope to wake tomorrow to the news of more babies , come on Kveta, Dairy and PP you are all really close to your dates xx

Yes, you ladies have gone suspiciously quiet on here and fb this evening! Hope it means things are underway somewhere!

Right, time to clean yet more vomit off my baby and head to bed - like tdw I am hoping for news in the morning!

oh dear pink, do hope your DM is a bit more constructive when you go into labour, maybe she just had a bad day.

Sorry to hear lots of you are feeling sick, hopefully it's a sign that some of these babies are going to get moving soon.

I've got really grouchy with DH over the last few days for no good reason, he's being really helpful but I feel a bit like a teenager with PMT, just can't control it! Took a lot of effort to pull myself together this afternoon when we went down to watch the flotilla and had a lovely time in the end so must try harder.

Doesn't look like I'll be dropping mine any time soon so am relying on the rest of you to provide some baby excitement :)

So....
Mega strong constant BH - check
Twinges and shooting feelings in the cervix alllll the time - check
Immense pressure on the cervix - check
So what happens next and when. I need a sign!
EDD is Thursday.....

Ohhhh Mamma it sounds promising!!!

So all heading in the right direction McK? About an hour ago I was up with some severe period style cramping (I'd forgotten that feeling from my teenage years) so some paracetemol is helping mask that at the moment. Would love if this was the beginning of things here but need a bit more to be going on to convince me. Anyhow, I hope you've gone off to sleep. I'm going to attempt another 90 mins shut eye before the next loo break x

Ooh exciting mamma hope you get some rest in case this is it

Just had a proper catch up, been flat out since last week and only been able to keep up on FB it seems like there are a few of us likely to see some action v soon blondie hope you're okay, gosh your LO is really putting you through it
Just a couple of light cramps here, but it has awoken me to the fact I really am going to have a baby and soon! So madly painting the kitchen this evening plus lots of housework all day, knackered but as you can see can't sleep
Hoping for no rain today so I can get on with more gardening, fingers crossed.
Have a great weekend everyone, roll on some more jubilee babies

Heartburn . Wish it was something else keeping me awake

Wide awake for no reason Why?!

Ooh mamma hope things are starting for you!

The worst cramps I've had do far have been wind related C'mon baby Dairy, it's a full moon today, pack your bags!

So far..

Its horrible to just crave some sleep!! Hoping we all get some ASAP. I'm very sore, twinges, stabbing pains but finally found living room 'hard' chair to be most comfy place right now. Do glad DH is off or I'd be one grumpy woman when DC wake.
Dairy and Mama, my fingers are so tightly crossed

Here comes the back pain.... Eugh! I just want to sleeeeeeeeep.

Ok then. It's just me, ticking clock, distant snores and birds making a racket
Am now starving!!!!

Dairy - think any cramps I'm getting too are probably more related to the fact I need to (TMI) do a poo. But then again I spent my whole labour with DS feeling that way so....

DH went and bought an S-Max yesterday which we can pick up on Friday, then at least we will be able to transport the whole family in comfort and safety rather than trying to all squish in a Mondeo!

Sitting in bed while my two DC run around like lunatics - how can they have so much energy, they both woke up before 6am too - yawn.

Poor you small, hope the pain eases.. I've barely slept since 5 and now the boys are awake. We're trying to convince them to play in their room for a little bit. I am also starving but need sleep.

Cath ooh exciting about the new car!
Yeah, labour is quite similar to trapped wind/ stomach bug for me at points usually but this is deffo wind so far

Joining the wide awake club. Been awake since around 5.30. Think I'm going to give up and watch the corrie that I've taped. Find if I eat something it helps send me back to sleep. Wish me luck!

Hope all with cramps etc get more movement. Must be quite frustrating. x

Hope the corrie and food works special

My ruddy children have been awake since half 5 making a racket. I've just told them to get back into bed and shut up.

I need sleep

Oh well, glad its not just mine that are up so early! Suppose I should get up and make breakfast!

Ours are currently playing on the edge of our bed, torturing us in our tirdeness

Aaww you ladies with kids up already... I hope you have time for at least an afternoon nap today.

Think that paracetamol has worn off now coz the period pain is back and it reeeaaalllyyy hurts. When I was a teenager I used to get it terribly and be so sick so this is bringing back a few bad memories. I'm assuming to keep taking the tablets is ok even if something was developing? Urgh, this is actually quite nasty but I'm going to live in hope at the same time.

Poor you mamma, I would say its fine to take paracetamol every 4 hours..

Dh has taken the boys down for brekko like a total hero so I can go back to sleep. Thank god!

DS woke up crying just before 3am and wouldnt go back to sleep so brought him into bed with me and he finally went to sleep about 5am. Had a really loud bird singing outside the window at 4am. On the plus side- ds slept in till 8am and is now downstairs with my dh while I try to get more sleep.
Mamma sounds exciting although painful- keep us updated
