Due in October 2012 - Part 9...the final few waddling uncomfortably and hoping things start moving soon!

[Kyyria]

Just getting us sorted with a (hopefully) final thread before we all decamp to the PN thread!!

4 cm is fab!

thinking of you umickey xx

Any news? Hoping things are moving along.

mickeys cervix you've done very well to get to 4cm on your own do please finish the job off. We miss mickey and want her on the other thread. Yours midgets cervix (thought mickeys cervix would pay more attention to another cervix. ) .

hahaha midget your talking cervix makes me giggle. well psychic doula s convinced tonights the night.. we'll see!!

Think talking cervix may have as much chance of working as physic doula based on her track record but here's hoping she's right this time

go go mickey!

my cervix 2nd's midget's. get a move on or mickey will spend an age catching up on the post natal thread....god knows i am still trying and i've had over 2 weeks!

Mickey they don't want to come out 'cos they have everything they need inside
They have to come out though because eventually they would not fit... i read that on MN.
I hope you are in business as I type

Unfortunately not lisbeth... Is it normal to be so tired? I can barely keep my eyes open..

Mikey I think nothing about labour is 'normal' - it is such a physical and mental ride. But there is something primitive about it. It sounds like your body is telling you to rest (As opposed to going painting or other nesting activity).
Perhaps there is a plan being schemed up for you by mother nature and you will be the last to be told

Rest, darling

Beccus I probably won't even try to catch up on the post-natal thread- i'll just join in! hahaha xx

ha ha, good plan mickey. they have already finished their 1st thread and started a 2nd. oh well, i will get them back for being such a pack of gossipers by writing a mammoth 1st post with my labor story and parenting dramas to date. hope u r getting lots of rest x

Go Mickey! I have a feeling today's the day, I don't know why, but maybe that's why you're so tired - your body's telling you to rest up before the labour??
4cm is great, you're nearly half way there!

Beccus, you don't have to catch up before posting, just jump right in! That's what I did anyway

cherry, i like catching up. i find it reassuring it"s not just me with such and such a problem, and also to see what a
suggestions people have :-)

That's true Beccus, loads of great advice on there, and definitely feel less alone with so many people going through the same thing.
Hope all's good with you

Beccus I am like you - I like to know what is going on before I jump in... but... we are now on the second installment. Over 1,000 posts.

Now it is early problems BF etc, but still...

Mickey hope you're ok

Morning :) My gosh, you lot are on the second thread already?! You all talk too much! like me he hehe can one of you be really lovely and post a link to it on here so when I need it I can jump straight on?

Got my third sooty stretch and sweep today, thats gotta do something right?! I properly hibernated yesterday, it was laaaaaavely.

Just found out DSIL is coming over next thursday now rather than three weeks time.. gulp must call on my non-existent assertiveness skills

thx cherry, yeah things are much better. 1st 10 days a real struggle, what with b/f dramas, no sleep, settling difficulties and out of control hormones, but parents and pil have been fab, taking care of us on a practical level and also helping us to learn how to meet her needs. mickey, good luck with sweep, will cut and paste link to 2nd post natal thread when i have caught up enough to find it...think i am at pg 26 of 40

Hi mickey sorry I am too much of a computer illiterate to do link but thought I'd pop in and say hi anyway. How was the sweep?

Freakin' uncomfortable! Still 4cm dilated.. Wont go much further now without some decent contractions. She could feel babys head though and a "nice big sack of waters" underneath the head.. So Come on uterus! Or waters!!

Come on uterus! Assume you are walking lots etc to encourage things long?

I'm trying... my hips feel non-existent though. and i get so tired so quickly. murgh!

thinking of you mickey and hoping for good news soon! Xxx
