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? :)

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

minimuffin · 20/04/2011 19:48

Evening JKS - you might remember me from a MIL bashing thread a couple of months ago, you were v supportive - hello!!! I'm 38 weeks with DS3 and planning homebirth so when I saw this and realised it was you I was v excited! Anyway, sounds like it's all going on, will check back for news later. Well done for keeping posts going so long (and labouring so calmly) - hope it's all going/gone well!!

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 20/04/2011 19:51

Oh fantastic news! Hope all is going well - sending you lots of positive puffing and pushing thoughts! xxxx

Nearly 2 hours since last post, fingers crossed! If you can hang on for another four hours though, then DC will share a birthday with someone most illustrious.

No, not HM Queen Elizabeth II (well her too) but FLISSPAPS Grin
