Big show this morning (leading to slightly panicked thread )....

Contractions now about 10 mins apart. Having a homebirth, so I'm going to be about lots, and thought I might as well start a labour chat thread

I'll update as and when...

Good for you Flamesparrow. I wish i had discovered MN when I was in labour at home - I was on the ohone to friends and reading the Observer in the back yard in between contractions. Don't stay still on MN too much - are you walking about?

oooh excellent - (ive missed the last two )

Said on another thread already - there really should be a subject heading Live Labour Threads

fantastic

poppiesinaline · 23/02/2006 11:22

Will your typing go all sciffy when it really kicks in!? I've never been on an active labour thread before!!! Will someone take over the typing when you are giving birth giving all the details!!!?

LadySherlockofLGJ · 23/02/2006 11:24

Stop asking questions Poppy......she is busy setting up the webcam.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 23/02/2006 11:26

LGJ I did suggest that to her a while back naturally she told me where to go!

Good luck Flame
I'm planning a homebirth and I've told dd1 she's got to keep you all updated! (Actually she's insisted that she's going to Grandparents house even if it means walking there herself )
