Ctx every 10mins - think we are a GO for HBAC :)

[JustKeepSwimming]

Not sure how long I'll manage to keep posting but always fancied a go at a live labour thread :)

Brief history:

• DS1 HB (19hrs + 2 hrs for the placenta) at 38+1
• DS2 EMCS for undiagnosed breech at 39+6

• this is DC3 (a surprise) and I'm 40+3.

Been going slightly spare since I've never been this pg before so I'm quite happy that things are finally moving.

Mucus plug yesterday & this morning, bit of bloody show this lunchtime.
Ctx now every 10ish mins or so.

Waters not gone, yet so am hovering over a towel in case :)

Not phoned MW yet, guess I should at some point?

Anyone want to keep me company? :)

come not comde!

Thanks people :)

Well good news, until 6pm is one of the 'chosen' ones by my MW :)
and until 9.30pm is one who was here for DS1's HB

lots of bloody show & ctx about every 7 or 8mins apart.

DH is inflating the pool, hot water is on constant, boys are happy in the garden with their own paddling pool :)

Crack on then................. and good luck as well

Baby here yet?

Fab very funny!

Just trying to chill out upstairs for a bit - got a puzzle app on my phone that wastes many an hour. have to hop up to sway about with each ctx but managing a little lie down now and then

Ohh good luck JKS! I hope your LO doesn't keep us you waiting to long. (PS, I used to be NoMoreChocBiscuits from your Just Shagging days).

Good luck.

OOh JKS was convinced you would have baby while I was away

hope things will speed up soon JKS - keeping watch here too

oh just scrolled down and it seems ctx are speeding up nicely from earlier

pool soon

(safer here than FB, no MIL, that I know of, lol!)

Pool is inflated, not filling it just yet.

been to the loo a few times too.

Would really prefer if waters went just to reassure me.

Ooh going to the loo is a good sign :)

JKS relax this is definitely it - just go with the flow.

Yay JKS. Glad I saw this on active convos. Very excited for you. You'll be fab.

Also waves to Arch, Lis and MrsW from the Aprilonian's tea drinking bench.

Good Luck JKS. Think I might pull up a deckchair and grab and ice cold drink and popcorn don't want to miss the ending.

thortons caramel shortbread anyone?

Good luck JKS.

Forget about this thread and concentrate on birthing that baby

Can't wait to hear your news

Still here, had some mega-ctx as well as smaller ones. About 6 or 7 mins now.

Dh going to start filling the pool just in case.

On popcorn here too - well got to keep my energy levels up!

Woohoo JKS Have been scanning active convos convinced you would have a thread somewhere!

You just know it's going to happen once the boys are in bed Within half an hour of them going to bed you're going to go off like a rocket

Take this time to rest (maybe all fours on the bed with cushions under your bump if you can't lay down), connect with your baby, eat and drink.

Enjoy

Excellent advice ILTMIMI

marking my place

wish I'd had a hb for dd but i was told I wasn't allowed as had previous c section with ds

Good luck swimmimng!

You don't know me cos I'm a newbie, but I just saw this on active's and wanted to lurk, hope you don't mind. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great, you've got a great positive attitude
