Jan 09- Baby this is Davina, you have been evicted from the big mother house. You have 5 minutes to pack up your things and leave - I'm coming to get you!

great title RRay! Lets see if we can get those babies moving!

Hi ladies. just popping in to wish you labour vibes, looking forwards to having you over on the postnatal!!

Congrats EPPM!

We're near Heathrow, although the snow seems to have stopped now.....it is still over the top of DS's wellies (I think at least 8").

DS was sick twice last night with a temperature of 100, but (despite still being on Calpol today) managed to build two snowmen with grandpa

Congratulations EPPM!

Well, my appointment was a little more exciting than I expected. The consultant reckoned there's no need for the induction discussion when he examined me and found I'm already dilating. He sent me down to the Maternity Day Unit for monitoring because the heartbeat and blood pressure were a bit strange - and that was fine, only, "you're having quite a lot of contractions". I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought I was finally getting to feel real contractions!

I've finished packing my case, I think, my dad is on his way round to look after ds. I want to say hi to ds whom dp will pick up from his childminder about 5.30 pm, and I've rung the labour ward to warn them to expect me at some point this evening.

If anyone wants to send me a phone no on Facebook, I'll try and text or get news texted out when there is any.

goooo elkie!!!! good luck; hurried waves the labour pompoms!

good luck elkie!

Good luck elkie, hope it all goes well!

Congratulations EPPM.

Dog and Fym- Lots of positive labour vibes to you too! Hope you're not feeling too fed up. There should be a prize for who manages to hold out the longest- how about a years supply of raspberry leaf tear and clary sage?

Congratulations EPPM!

Good luck Elkie!

hkz - was just sooooo convinced DS2 would be early...its a surprise to still be here

DS1 arrived on date exactly, so this one has left me worrying something is wrong. Have been in for monitoring but he is fine...

Good luck Elkie - looking forward to a birth announcement soon. Hope it all goes well for you. How amazing to go in to book induction and find out you are in labour! Now that's the kind of service all hospitals should offer!

hope you are ok dog - I had about 1/2 hour proper contractions last night then.....

nothing! yet again.

I might post on Childbirth and see if any of the doulas/midwives on here have any advice

Dog - now it's just the two of us should we move to the PN thread? I hope it'll be a good omen!

Even though there are still two of us to go we've migrated to the postnatal thread...
