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...

Yay flame - (cyber mopping of brow)

I'm sooo excited, you were such a star when I was overdue, so I am giving you lots of (painfree) labour vibes.

Jas - I wish it were you As grumpy and fed up as I was, I hate seeing overdue ladies!

Forgotten what I was about to write . Do you think this is why the americans on tv have all the family and friends about - someone to chat to???

DH is enjoying his special bonding time with the xbox .

Don't worry about me Flame - I'm having a happyday today (mostly due to excitement that you will get to meet your baby soon)
You never know, all the excitement might start me off!

MerlinsBeard · 23/02/2006 11:41

sends Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmms to jas too (well worked for flame!)

mummy23 · 23/02/2006 11:54

Hope it is going well, try and keep us updated on your progress (if you can type between each contraction)
I cant believe that you are in labour today (after munz being in labour yesterday), who will be next to go into labour i wonder
There was someone else with mild contractions on munz thread yesterday! I wonder how she's doing

Any how, good luck flame, will keep checking this thread today, and will be thinking of you at this special time in your life!

Are you planning on a water birth?

calebsmummy · 23/02/2006 12:08

Webcam sounds good

Can I start the predictions? (Although I thought it would come on 3rd of March, so mine won't be right )

Enif · 23/02/2006 12:42

oh god its going to be painful isnt it

why on earth did I say I wanted a homebirth

I want an elective c section atm as I have been watching too many discovery health progs and remembering how bloody painful it is

MerlinsBeard · 23/02/2006 12:55

i have to go boys being monsters and we have to go out ion a little while

Text when u can Flame (Or Calebsmum!!), will be thinking of u and sending helpful vibes (not gonna send painfree vibes coz don't want to jinx you)
