I'm in hospital having contractions at 33 weeks. Just woken up with strong pains again so back on monitor. Anyone about?

Now I think about it, that's good isn't it? Keep baby in there as long as possible and all that, a bit of a pain for you I expect, having to hang around in hospital, but probably for the best in the long run.

How are ya feeling?

SparklyGothKat · 22/05/2012 11:53

Tired. And upset. Sad

Sorry to hear it Sparkly

Is anyone with you?

What are the midwives saying? Are you stuck there for the duration?

SparklyGothKat · 22/05/2012 12:52

My sister popped up this morning.

I keep crying today. Just had enough now

I'm not sure I am much help, but I am here. (sort of)

What can I do to cheer you up? I know some bad limericks

I used to a bit of a goth and still LOVE the Nephilim and The Cure if you count them. I can tell you about when I saw The mIssion at Lancaster and fell off my mates' shoulders (oh the bruises).

My housemates were in a bad goth band in 1992-I will see if any remnants of them exist on the web.

Look after yer wee self. Wink
