OK I caved. Here's thread 13!

Nice to see you back, curly. Hope they manage to bring your BP down.

Had a lovely friend and her 5 month old over for lunch, after spending all morning cleaning the house and swearing at the fecking hoover that beeps randomly but I don't know why! Completely shattered now and decided not going out to do the rest of my chores today as its too bloody cold and windy and I need to conserve energy for to nights NCT Xmas dinner night out. The second of our group popped last night, so there will only be 5 couples there instead of seven....scary stuff!

curly poor you stuck in hospital. Really hope they sort your bp out so you can get home.....

Hugs to curly hope your ok. I was in hospital couple of weeks ago in with all the newborns! Fun hey.
Having another bad day here. Stupid fecking water infection getting me down. Still no results back so just gotta keep taking the antibiotics I'm on but omg i'm in so much discomfort. I cant do a thing without going to the loo every 5 seconds. Sorry for keep moaning xx

Curly hope you're ok. Nice to have you back!

Choco you really need a break!

I spent this morning on a monitor as had very intense contractions (terrifying as was at home with DS and couldn't get hold of anyone - he was very confused - then DH made it home about an hour later). Apparently I'm 1-2cm, should rest up a bit and they might see me later. Ugh. Hate stop-start labour!! So had nap with DS and now might go for a long walk and Nando's for tea. But it's gross outside...

V weird as it's exactly the same day as when DS labour started!

Send birthy thoughts please!

Poor loulou :( It really sucks, what you're going through.

How exciting, extra! I had stop/start labour for the best part of a week with both of mine and it's horrible.

Ahh extra how exciting but equally annoying to be stopping and starting!

Nooooooo Toby there is no way I'm doing this for a week!!! Seriously?!? Argh... No no no.

choco you really are having a sucky time!!! So frustrating for you!

extra ekkk! Frustrating and exciting at the same time....feel for you. It will all be worth it, but it must be hard seeing that right now. Sending you mega birthy thoughts....

I was 2 weeks overdue. 5-min-apart contractions for 72 hours non-stop only got me to 3cm each time, so I was never going to get much further by myself.
This WILL NOT happen to you, extra. You hear me? :o

Shit. That is not happening. Nope.

At least I get Nando's!

A long walk and Nando's is bound to help.

I am just shit at giving birth.

Make sure it's a hot nandos with extra hot sauce to get things moving

Omg extra I'm very excited for you

All these dilations (is that right?) are scaring me! Makes me realise how close we all are!

I've just spent 4 hours painting our new shower room (tiny but lots of cutting in) and now my tummy kills! Don't think it's bh as its not tight. Feels a bit like trapped wind? Hopefully go soon

EXTRA! This is so exciting! I hope it moves quickly after your Nandos :)

Eeek! Very exciting Extra!

Choco don't worry about moaning, anyone would be in your shoes! I hope the antibiotics start to work soon!

Hope you get home soon Curly

Santa's just been around our estate in a little sleigh. No idea why, but it made me cry!

extra how many weeks are you?

Wow, extra! Thinking positive thoughts for you.

Sorry that the infection is still hanging around choco, what a bastard it is.

I've just realised I have to make a cake for DS' birthday party this weekend. He wants one with sharks around the outside, and a spinosaurus fighting a t-Rex on the top. My cake decorating skills are not that good. I'm thinking a green cake with blue sides, and some plastic figures shoved into it artistically will have to suffice.

37 weeks tomorrow! Nando's was yum. Contractions bit stronger now but still not regular so am bouncing like a maniac on my gym ball!

Sounds fine to me, enjoying :)

Thanks ladies. So nice that you all sympathise with what I'm going through as lots of you had your own probs yourselves. Blimmin pregnancy hey why do we do this to ourselves.
Sending mega birthy thoughts to you extra keep bouncing on that ball!!! Xx

Good luck Extra!!

Wow! Things are getting exciting!

Hope the bouncing works extra!

Wow so your good to go then extra so exciting :)

quick pop in to say good luck extra

Go extra go! You can do it! Bounce that baby out!

omg had a great time at our nct Xmas dinner but ate wayyyyy too much. Combine that with BH and constipation and you will get some idea of how uncomfortable I am right now.....arghhh! Stupid yummy chocolate pecan tart..... Wont be going to bed for a while....in fact may stay on the sofa. Doh! Must remember this feeling next time I start to stuff my face!
