Thought I'd better start the thread since a) I've never done it before b) I'm not actually in labour right now c) it'll take all the 9 remaining posts on the previous thread to get the link to this one done correctly!

pidge congratulations on your wall

and best of luck to MissusH and Munkimom you'll have your babies very soon.

Pitufina · 01/10/2008 06:35

Good morning! My waters broke at 4 this morning. Been in for a bit of monitoring and just waiting for things to start happening. Having some contractions. 1st of October sounds like a good date to have a baby!
Good luck to everyone!

Pitufina · 01/10/2008 06:37

Thought I'd update seeing as I'm the first one up.

Thats brilliant Pitufina hope you have a lovely birth, keep us updated!
Nothing happening for me after my sweep yet

Good luck again to Missus and munki

MunkiMom · 01/10/2008 08:28

goood morning gals!
finally! a gush of water from one of the remaining! good luck pitufina!!! plus1 you have a little time left, yet before the sweep is deemed unsuccessful so don't you worry!! still time!

in the meantime, bounce on a ball? sideways up the stairs? ((No pineapple! you'll be wasting your time!)) focus on waters breaking or contractions starting!

i havent got time to catch up from last night. my mate is driving me to hospital for the pre-op bloods and such in about half an hour...and as usual with most things in life ((and like the boy inside me) i'm always running late!

hope you are all well!!! see ya in a bit.

Pitufina · 01/10/2008 09:15

It's all slowed down now!!
Contractions are few and far between now! Grr!
If nothing happens I will be in tomorrow morning anyway. They've made an appointment for me just in case.
Good luck munkimom!
I'm sure things will start happening soon for you plusonemore!

jennylindinha · 01/10/2008 09:31

"Let me out again"??? God Pidge, they are not going to keep me there! Yikes, I hadn't thought of that. Never did get around to packing a hospital bag either...

No, I'm sure it will be fine and they are just being overcautious. I shall insist on going home though, there is nothing wrong with this baby. It's been really active this morning, woke me up first and then I had to get up as I was getting so uncomfy with its kicking about and headbutting downwards or whatever it is doing to make me wince! Cute...

Pitufina, hope things have started up again for you and your baby is here soon. And good luck Munki at the hospital. plusone you have plenty of time so don't worry! Oooh, I wonder how MissusH is..?

Pidge · 01/10/2008 09:46

Ooops - sorry JL, I meant more 'let you out of the system' than let you out of hospital. I'm sure they won't keep you in. The baby is obviously giving you some reassurance with the acrobatics! It's worth them knowing that you are very fit with all your cycling, as that can influence muscle tone and the size of the bump too.

I'm keeping half an eye on our builder who is here TWO DAYS RUNNING!! Apparently the granite worksurfaces chap though has disappeared, our lovely main builder even tried calling his wife, but no reply. He's going to go to his house if he doesn't hear from him soon. Anyway, nothing we can do about that.

I had loads of braxton hicks last night - every 10 minutes or so, but back to normal this morning. Phew. I have coffee lined up with a friend, then a swim at lunchtime. I'm good at this maternity leave lark!! Though I know it's all going to get rather busy rather soon.

Pidge · 01/10/2008 09:47

Should have said also - good luck munkimom and pitufina, hope for some proper labour action asap.

jennylindinha · 01/10/2008 09:51

Ooh thanks Pidge, I had visions of them strapping me to a bed so I couldn't leave! You're right about the cycling, I'm sure that's the only reason I haven't put loads of weight on, I have certainly been eating enough... Ha ha at the thought of being fit though, I'm not sure I would go that far.

Yes, the BHs are getting stronger at night now for me too, but not regular at all. You are good with your swimming, I still haven't managed to go yet.

WombFor1More · 01/10/2008 09:59

I've had a baby

What I thought were BH were apparently the real deal! Had baby boy, HB, no pain relief, no name as yet, at 2.04am weighing in at 8lb 13oz.

He was only 2 days overdue so wasn't expecting him yet. Can't believe I'm a mum of 4

Proper contractions started about 10pm. He wasn't as quick as dd thank goodness, he came out slower cos the little monkey had his elbow next to his face and cord wrapped around his neck and body loads of times but we got there in thr end!!!

Will do proper story when I have had some rest

Oh and he is bf'ing like a pro!

Pidge · 01/10/2008 10:04

WombFor1More - brilliant, brilliant news. Many congratulations. Really looking forward to reading the full details. But you get some sleep first!!

JennyL - I think with the swimming it helps knowing I only have 3 days with the kids in school/childcare, and there's only a short slot at lunchtime when I can go. Not to mention this baby might arrive any time. So all that kind of gives me enough impetus to get over there. Oh and also, the pool is about a 2 minute walk from our front door, which is handy!

jennylindinha · 01/10/2008 10:08

Well done Womb, just spotted on the Oct thread that you had given birth! Congrats and get some zzzzs...

I think if a swimming pool was 2 minutes from my house I'd be there every day Pidge, but alas tis not so and I'm quite lazy really!

Pitufina · 01/10/2008 10:09

wombfor1more - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! fantastic news.

Pitufina · 01/10/2008 10:11

Not much going on here now. really hope it starts up soon. Might go to Wickes later to sort out some things for our kitchen, see if that sets it off!

plusonemore · 01/10/2008 12:01

congrats womb! sounds like a good one

Pitufina i am soooo gutted for you, hope things get going again soon- got any clary sage? (i keep meaning to get some and forgetting)

I've had quite a few braxtons this morning, dont usually get many in the day, usually mostly in evening. fingers crossed!

munki hows things going?

Wonder how missus is?

Alllo, Gals. i've returned from the pre-op appointment. all the feelings and emotions are coming
back as to what i went thru with ds. nothing traumatic at all, just nerves running amuck more than anything.
had to sign a consent form with about 6-7 "In the event of...'s" on it. just cautionary to save themselves of course,
things like: accidental laceration to the baby's head, my organs/bowels, need for blood transfusion,
what i want them to do should the surgeon see something serious going on inside me while he's got me open (like tumour,
cysts, etc...loads of things really.

it may seem a bit daunting, but its just part of the process. then the aneastethisistisititis (sp, hehehe)
came in to have a word and remind me what to expect. he couldnt have been older than 25-26. he was very nice, and after poking around
my spine on the bare of my back, he said: "right, well as you are aware you can tend to put on weight while pregnant so it may
take a little time for some to make sure they have the correct position for the block..."
it make me giggle a wee bit that he was ever so careful with his wording on the weight gain issue. hehehe

but i'm ok now that im home...nerves have calmed.DH has demanded that i NOT do any housework today, just take care of myself
and ds til he gets home.

pitufina i hope things start back up for you later today...if not NOW!

Thanks for all the "good lucks", by the way. its very sweet. And yes, i totally agree,
if i had a swimming pool super close by, i'd be there very very often!

Womb41M Awwww!!! Huge Congrats to you and the family!!!((wow, no pain relief??))
looking forward to hearing more!

Oh, any1 have the link handy for the october thread? ((wanna have a browse, see what its like)).

missush??

MunkiMom · 01/10/2008 13:20

Hey Munki, the October thread is here... Hope you're feeling ok and relaxed and getting ready to meet your LO, aw it's very exciting!

I'm bouncing on my ball and geting some very strange feelings. Baby is doing something weird in there and it's not comfy to sit down for long! Think I'll finally go and have a shower and get dressed, lazy cow that I am... Ooh, but only after the Archers which has just started.

DebitheScot · 01/10/2008 14:22

Congrats treadmill I love that your children were so excited and so upset when you nearly didn't get your hb.
