Due in April 2007 - follow the light babies, follow the light ............ there's a stealth polar bear at the end!

[EllieKthePA]

in case you're wondering, Katy44 is the Polar Bear

that is so unfair

goodnight xx

Goodnight Dippy

so you are still lurking

I'm back - not much sleep, but I'm so tired
On one hand I just want an hour off from them to have a snooze, on the other hand I want them to continue and get closer together

No I did try to sleep, but failed

must say, never really understood the 'try to get some sleep' thing, they hurt, how the f@@k do you sleep thru that

Sorry I left you Ellie - I feel bad now .... thought I'd pop back to give you a [[hug] .... and one for katy as she's here too now .... [[hug]]

Right - really going now ....

Well then really goodnight CD!
Ellie, last night I managed to kind of relax with my eyes shut between each one and then get up when I was having them. But that was probably every 15 minutes - 7 is obviously too short.

Katy hope this is it for you hun

bet your hugs are rubbish, your arms don't reach round

quite glad i was already asleep when mine started then

Thanks oooggs, how are things with you?

Ellie, you know you had that dream? Well although I wasn't really asleep between contractions last night - you know where you're not fully awake but not asleep either, I kept having really vivid images or dreams of my baby. Picturing him as a newborn. Suppose that's my body doing positive mental attitude!

Right I'm going to have to do something can't keep my eyes open, probably back soon, unless you've gone to bed, in which case good night xx

i'm still here

hi
they're getting stronger but not closer together

they might not get closer together for a while Katy, have you taken any paracetamol?

where is your labour thread?

labour thread
Why should I take paracetemol? The reason I ask is because the MW last night told me to, and it was 20 minutes after that when my contractions slowed right down. Was that definitely a coincidence? if so, should probably take a couple
Have just read weeonion's thread, really that she is feeling so awful and hope things start to look brighter in the next day or so.

it was a coincidence
take some, it'll take the edge off the pain

OK, have already been to get some water in the hope you'd reply that thanks

i didn't have that luxury, what with having no water

ooh I know it's a third world down in suffolk!

Did you just swig yours down with gin?
