You went in on Thursday! How come they have only just done the pessaries?!

I started after the second one. Good luck!

(The antenatal wards are an eye opener aren't they? Southmead is a really deprived area of Bristol, and we saw the dark side of life in that place.)

Sending labour inducing vibes, quick quick!!! Hope those pessaries are doing their job x

Twinklestar2 · 09/08/2014 18:33

Sorry ted I mean 'just' as in 'only', as in I've only had the pessaries, nothing else.

Things keep stopping and starting so they're waiting for some space on labour ward to crank things up again.

tedmundo · 09/08/2014 18:53

Ahhh, fair enough, I thought they had left you waiting. I was getting all indignant on your behalf!

Once they crank that drip up things will start motoring. Or if the pessaries get you to 4cm they may go straight to breaking waters.

I hope it happens tonight. Thinking of you and the husband!

Twinkle hope you get out of that hospital soon! Not long now....hang in there....soon he/she will be in your arms Smile

I'm off to bed now but will check again in the morning. Winkle, my sweet, I can only imagine how these last few days have been for you. Can't wait to hear the good news. X

Go twinkle!! Just total luck I randomly popped in and saw these posts as I hardly ever check mn these days but HOW EXCITING!! Can't believe it when I think back to the conception board days! Good luck xxx

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 11/08/2014 20:11

Just keeping an eye out for some news. Best of luck twinks

kittykatsforever · 11/08/2014 20:27

Me too , winkle what are they doing to you?!? You must be going crazy unless you have a little snugly new born in your arms x

tedmundo · 11/08/2014 21:28

Winkle .. When is that wee baby going to make an appearance?! You must be shattered. I hope you are ok.

In other news, ds3 has hit a screaming patch. He can scream at a glass shattering pitch for as long as he pleases. I had to take all 3 to the vet tonight as cat has skin problems. He screamed in the sealed room and the vet was visibly wincing and shaking her head to try and clear her ears before jabbing poor kitty with the needles. We came out and the waiting room was agog. Staring and wide eyed at us as we shuffled out. He was still screaming. I am weary tonight.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 11/08/2014 23:04

Oh poor you ted that sounds like a traumatic trip to the vet. Hope your ds sleeps well tonight.

Twinklestar2 · 11/08/2014 23:46
