Squeeee! At least your hair will be looking fab and you hopefully got you McDs in you for energy

are you feeling any pain?

Oh bugs . How far away is GP?

Oh Bugs How quickly things change. Don't worry, we're all here till GP arrives. Remind me how far along you are today?

bugs I'm out singing but I've just seen this. I hope GP is with you soon (if nog already). It's a bit early but not scary early. I'm glad you got it checked out. I hope it all goes smoothly from here. All the other stuff can be sorted, just concentrate on you and Buglet.

Omg bugs! V exciting! Is buglet ok though? HR all over the shop? Don't worry about the dignity bit - midwives seem to love mat pads. I didn't show mine, but it was scooped from the pile of discarded clothes on the floor while I was being monitored (I thought the wetness was just bath water . Apparently not...)

Sorry - my post is a bit blasé. Bit earlier than planned, but as faife says, not scary early. Everything crossed.

You're sounding very calm and with it Bugs, this is good. If Buglet wants to make an early appearance then that's his/her prerogative Just try to eat and rest now, any sleep you can manage will be beneficial.

Ooh exciting! I know being in hospital is shite but it is the best place for you to be at the moment. As you aren't yet 37 weeks i expect they will want to keep a close eye on things. Am very excited for you. You are going to be a mummy probably this week if it is your waters! The heartbeat goes up and down all the time on the monitors. I had hours of watching it. Drinking a mango smoothie made it go up in quite an amusing fashion.

What!!!! Get GP to bring your charger in tomorrow! I was hoping for a live birth thread! Hope you have a restful night

Good luck Bugs, whatever they decide to do. And get that bloomin charger sorted

Sorry - did a mental switch from heartbeat to heart rate! (All prep for going back to work )

Glad all is calm, but ditto Kat - get that charger lady!

Good luck bugs!

Fankle, it's easy to use with the maxi cosi seat. I really like the uppa baby apart from the suspension.

Good luck bugs
