lovely name monkeym

cant sleep, hence why i am up at this ungodly hour!

in the last hour been getting lots of lower backache and period style pains in lower tummy,also feeling a bit sicky.
is easing off when upright tho!
maybe cos baby is back to back.....

if no more "pains" in next half hour am off to back to bed!

chocolategal · 19/11/2008 07:08

update....
have had bath, tightenings !!ctx?? coming every 7-10mins and lasting 30-40secs

bouncing on ball to try to keep them coming!
not sure whether to send DH to work or not....???

ceebee74 · 19/11/2008 08:20

chocolategal definitely sound promising As for DH going to work - probably too late now but I guess it depends on how far he has to travel - any more than 30 minutes away, I would probably be telling him to stay at home. Good luck and keep us posted!

My last day of 'freedom' today and was lying awake in the middle of the night with a long list of things that must be done today - funny how having a baby focuses your mind eh??

chocolategal · 19/11/2008 08:33

morning ceebee
DH went to work, but he told his colleagues what was happening and they have sent him home again!
i think that is going to junx it and ctx will stop!
will go for a walk when he gets back.

hope its not too big a list ceebee and you have some time to rest also!

Pinkyminkee · 19/11/2008 09:08

chocolategal hope this is 'it' for you- good luck. Make sure you get some rest if you are back to back.

ceebee not long now!

Oblomov · 19/11/2008 09:17

LOVE Cecily, for MonkeyM's dd. Lovely.

Good luck chocolategal and ceebee.

Yorky · 19/11/2008 09:27

Sounds hopeful Chocolate, get dolled up and make DH take you out for lunch, that should counteract the jinx of him being at home waiting!
Am feeling a bit twingey this morning but was the same last week after reflexology so not getting hopes up! (Who am I trying to kid?)

Dozymare · 19/11/2008 09:51

chocgirl - very best of luck, defiantely soiunds like the start of something!!!!!

Ceebee your last day of freedom!!!! What are your plans? I took both DS's to the park for a long bike ride and fairycake and cuppa on my "LASTDAY". It was ace, great memory and the fresh air did me the world of good!!! Are you excited????

monkey congrats on Cecily - can't wiat to hear your story!!!

ceebee74 · 19/11/2008 09:59

Dozy I am very excited to be meeting my new little man tomorrow but nervous at the same time iykwim.

The worst part is having to leave DS tbh - I have never spent a night away from him and I just know I am going to cry when I have to say goodbye tomorrow which isn't going to help him! I know it is pathetic but I hate the thought of not being here in the morning when he wakes up - is this normal??

Today - DS is at nursery so I may go and pick him up earlier to spend some time with him. Before that, I need to do some shopping, repack my hospital bag (it is too full so I need to 'prune'), and just generally chill

twinkle183 · 19/11/2008 10:02

Yorky thank goodness I am not the only one experiencing the services.. where abouts is dh based??? Maybe we could meet up!!!

Have had a pinky discharge this morning and have been getting some monster tightenings this morning - so don't think I am going to be holding on for much longer but then I still have a week to go.... period pains have started to kick in aswell but then this all be a false alarm and this baby could be playing me for a fool!!!

What a beautiful name monkey!! So different - I love those ones....

dyerlou · 19/11/2008 10:05

hello all, and congrats to those who have already popped!

I am still hanging on - my due date isn't til 28th (LMP) or 29th (ulstrasound date) but I have a feeling that baby has snuggled in for the duration and will stay there til December! (does that mean I have to join the december thread? ) If not I might just end up here posting away to myself!

MerryMarigold · 19/11/2008 12:13

Hi. Sorry, should have updated last night, but had people over till 10pm which is an hour past my bedtime!!! In the end, had to help dh out as both babies were crying and didn't get to bed till 11 .

MonkeyMargot's little girl is called Cecily Plum. What a cool name! Bet she's as sweet as a plum.

Oblomov · 19/11/2008 12:26

oh I LOVE the Plum.
?????That is so cool.

Right ladies-in-waiting - lets all hold hands and pass positive labour vibes to each other (not that I need them!) and have a mass 'birth-day' tomorrow
