hoping we have a grufette

lastboxoftampons · 14/04/2009 12:29

Would be nice to meet up! Not sure Purley is the best place for a relaxing stroll and chat though! Maybe once the LO's are here we can do Hampton Court or something!

I do check up on Lottie every now and again, although last I emailed her she didn't write me back. But, seems like she's been super busy as she just got married! Her DH took a job in Zurich and they're splitting their time between there and London at the moment. They had a big holiday (I think to India or maybe Thailand?) before he went and they decided to get married while they were there! I think she's stimming for her second IVF cycle at the moment. (seriously, I'm not a stalker! )

GruffaloSoldier · 14/04/2009 12:35

Im still going

another terrible night of contractions. couple of hours sleep. they are def more painful today. some are quite spaced out others close together. average about 8 mins apart.

not sure if im losing some water. every so often i get a trickle but not losing too much at a time. also loads of clear mucous coming out. already had huge show sat, sun, mon but i suppose this could be more still??

im so exhausted - 3 nights of no sleep is def taking its toll

lastboxoftampons · 14/04/2009 12:38

Oh, Gruff
I'm sorry this is dragging out so long, but the fact that the contractions are stronger has to be a good thing. Hang in there, I predict the Gruffette will be with you shortly!!! {{{{{{{{{{labour vibes}}}}}}}}}

Do you feel like a brownie?

GruffaloSoldier · 14/04/2009 12:43

mmm brownie would be good. just had 2 contractions real close together!eek!

tinkhaseatentoomanyeastereggs · 14/04/2009 13:06

poor u gruff crossing all for u to have gruffette soon

Diege · 14/04/2009 13:20

Hi GRUFF! Poor you It certainly does sound like little gruff will be here pretty shortly, though see how that's little consolation when you're having such rubbish nights . Really hope things start off for you properly soon

Sparklytwinkletoes · 14/04/2009 13:20

Hi Gruff, I know it sounds crazy but try and rest as much as possible while you still can, won't you (i.e. in-between climbing up and down the stairs, bouncing on your birth ball, going on long walks, GOF'ing and nipple tweaking) - In just a couple of days you will have forgotten all about this horrible 'limbo' time!

I'm munching on grapes, greek yoghurt and lemon and lime drink - this isn't just snacking, this is M&S snacking! The only times I've ever food shopped at M&S is when I'm pg - it just seems too much of an extravagance the rest of the time!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 14/04/2009 13:21

Oh, doctor was OK. Said I couldn't take any tablets unless I was really, really desperate and has given me some super strength moisturiser (its like wax!) and some steroid cream to try and calm my skin down.

Its still bloody itching though!!!!!

sorkycakey · 14/04/2009 13:26

eat & rest as much as you can Gruff
have you taken anything yet, some Codiene perhaps?
Could you try another bath?
Every pain is doing something be it effacing or dilating...she'll be here soon x

Could you maybe go for a walk if you can manage it?

waters have broken! have rung up delivery suite. I will be going in shortly, just getting ready now and going to eat something first and then go in.

fingers crossed for speedy labour from now

Moosy · 14/04/2009 13:59

Sorry to hear not a lot's happening yet Gruff, hope things kick off properly soon.

Keep going with the BF GYo and don't use top ups unless you REALLY want to, you sound like you're doing a fab job, hope the NCT lady reassures you

Am 6 weeks and 3 days now, the very day that MS kicked in with both DDs, eek! I've been feeling a bit knackered and bleurgh for a few days (can't think of a better word to describe it!) but not really sicky yet.
