Dh is sleeping
Dd1 and dd2 sleePing

I want to sleep but cant so want some company

How exciting! Are you having a home birth?

Very exciting! Good luck!

Exciting! I hope your feeling well with it!

Do you know what you are having?

Oh very exciting! Keep up the good work! I had emcs and never really had the whole being at home counting the contractions and so it still holds an exciting mystique to me!

I remember a midwife at the antinatal classes saying to remember that each contraction is one contraction closer to meeting your baby. I really like that idea thou know it might seem a but naive to those who have gone thru the whole contraction thing before.

I'm trying to lose weight before ttc for second child so am slightly envious if you. But sending you encouraging thoughts over the Internet!!!

How frequent are the ctx coming?

No a home birth,i was highrisk until 38weeks, im 40 weeks plus 6!
I reckon im having a dd...
Im feeling ok but frustrated i normally labour well but i feel panicky this time around

ooooh a birth!

are they not bad enough for you to wake your dh or mum for support? i'm sure they wouldn't mind?

Between 5-10 mins according to ma app, i never have regular contractions...they are lasting longer and quiet strong.

I feel i need the loo! I hate that feeling.
My second i was induced so on monitor the whole time, so i feel abit lost this time. Bern told to go in when 3 in 10mins

Thanks everyone for posting...

Good luck trying!

I meant not a homebirth!
Dh said wake me when you need to go hosp! He will just annoy me lol.
My mum just fell asleep and if tonight the night she will be watching dds who are 2.5 and 1.5 so needs her energy

As it's your third I wouldn't leave it too long especially as you have the needing the loo feeling. Wake your DH and make sure your bag's ready.

How exiting! How often are they coming? When it was mr they were every 3-4mins for up to a minute from 10.00 onwards until 23.41 when he was born. Are there thing s you want to do like potter around as I did baking and a spot of gardening before they became strong enough to immobilise me.

Are you keeping moving to help the contractions?

Sorry I'm now chuckling at the idea if of lady in labour gardening at 11pm in the dark!!!

No offence meant it just amused!

Ohh, a labour thread!! I'm in the Pacific Time Zone, it's only 3:15 pm here so will be around for a while.
How's it going?

Agree with TheVisitor.

And good luck.

i laughed too doodle

yes, are you moving mama?

exciting good luck x

Bags in the car as went hospital before when i thought waters broke. I was in bed but had to get up as last contraction was painful,will jump on the ball

The midwife was quite rude and implied i was making things up as im over. So hoping her shift ended.

Aparantly good advice is to ride out the rushes/contractions, envisage opening up and your baby just slipping out. Goodness best of thoughts are with you x

Why are some midwives like that? When my labour started with the triplets the bloody midwife didn't believe me.

How fast were your previous labours?

I know lots of third babies that practically come shooting out...

Gymball now...getting painful.
Lol at gardening...i just want to sleep

Same here, got to full dialation at home, really shouldn't have moved at that point but they wouldn't believe me either.

Why are some midwives such fucking cows?? I don't get it - pardon me for making you do your effing job you cowbag!

Sorry, unproductive, I know, but it does my head in!!

2nd induced i was checked at 6cms she was born under 5mins later.
The midwife really puy me off made me feel my experience meant nothing even though i knew my contractions haf started she kept saying "those tightenings wont get a baby out"!
