nickelbabe's live birth saga part 3. There HAS to be a birth in this one!

[nickelbabe]

Just getting it ready....

Noone post until it's full, right!!

Hurry up or I wont win the sweepstake!

Yayayayayayayayayay for babies!

Do we get to re-bet when our time passes?

Biting my nails here. Just woke up (7 am here) and first thing I checked on :o
Going to get coffee, will be back.

DH is now playing the piano.
he got a selection of "pop" and classical, and was about to play "you are the sunshine of my life" to which i put an immediate stop

i'm hating these contractions.

Rough, are they?

Yes we do!

I reckon 17.45.

Come on Nickel!

MWs think toilet is good too.
it hurts too much.
when I have a wee, i feel the pressure to wee (with contractions, it seems) andthen by God it hurts once i've weed!!!

the MWs said it was because the wee is causing a bubble cushion and when I wee, it relieves the bubble and so the baby's head is pressing on the cervix, and is better positioning.
which is good. :)

I'm also eating and drinking loads which they are very pleased with..
guess what, he's playing that bloody song now.
while the cat's away.

Yes yes to the toilet thing.

The midwife told me to try and go to the loo. I sat on it and had 3 cx one after the other than were horrible. Within 2 minutes I needed to push but no one took any notice of me so I said I need to poo. They listened then. Baby born 20 minutes later.

I don't suppose you'd let him do a good rousing chorus of "Nellie the Elephant"? No - oh well

Aw bless, watching your wife in labour can be awe inspiring, one would guess he is just telling you how he feels

that not than.

Ok then Im regressing at 18.59 (when I'll be busy with DC bedtime)

Nickel you are a legend.

nickel you are amazing to be MNing while in labour! I couldn't even hold my own G&A let alone type!

I guess at boy born at 20:15.

Wow, just caught up and has just informed DH that I will not be leaving my seat until Nickle has had her baby!!!

I guess 8.36pm, boy 8lb!

And I think all this toilet going is building up to spectacular rupture of waters!

GO GO Nickle! Yay!

Dammit I have to go out now. I'll be straight back on here when I get home to see your birth announcement! Wishing you all the best. :)

I think as well as holding the record for the most threads for a birth, you also hold the record for enticing the most lurkers out of the woodwork! Congratulations! :o

Rebet

19.28

OOOooooooooo, how exciting!!!

Go Nickel, go baby!!! Go baby, go Nickel!!!

Oh yes, definitely make sure you keep going to the loo. I know it hurts but having a full bladder can really hinder your progress (as I found out first time round when they had to catheterise...shudders)

Sounds like you're well on your way. Needing to keep going for a wee seemed to signal the beginnig of the end for me. Sitting on the toiket was the first time I really felt the need to shout through a contraction and the first time I started to feel a bit pushy. Not long now I think.

Outing myself to metaphorically hold your hand.... I am soooo excited!!

I'll guess girl 16:45 8lb 8ozs.

You go girl.

Go Nickel go Nickel go!!!

Have been reading and rooting for you. Amazing that you have so many people supporting you!! Our own little viroid central stage!

I think you're amazing xxx

I'm offline until tomorrow now but I will be thinking of you and hoping for a speedy outcome for you! Good luck!

Nickel, you're doing fantastically, and being able to update us all as well.
Your DH needs to be ordered to sing something else by someone there! Do you have a list of approved labour songs that he can choose from?

So glad the MW issue is sorted out, and so you can just concentrate on yourself and ISBN

Another lurker coming out of the woodwork to wish you luck.

My bet is girl 8.5lb 17.47

Phew, I had to go tesco waitrose and walking round I worried I was going to miss it. Have been lurking throughout and after my horrific birth this is helping me put some demons to rest. Go nickelbabe and ISBN.
