It's OnlyWantsOne's due date.... and Im marking my spot for my labour thread.

[OnlyWantsOne]

Well back in December 2010 some of you lovely lot really helped me along whilst in labour with DD2...

Today it's dc3 (gender unknown) due date...

So, although Im not having a planned home birth this time, I will still be labouring along with you lot, if you'll have me :)

[systemsaddict]

Oooh good luck, watching this today, I watched your Dec 2010 one too, can't believe it was that long ago!! Sounding good for today, fingers crossed for you!

[OnlyWantsOne]

HUZAH

[Flosie1989]

Sounds like things are heating up! You'll be just fine!

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

Have some til you get something else. I was told at hospital I can have it with codeine as baby is fully formed now. I'm 33 weeks.

How are you feeling?

[OnlyWantsOne]

this is just early normal labour isnt it? No real pattern, every few mins - lasting between 30 / 40 seconds, quite painful now but i can stand through them and sway

DP is on his way home from work and im worried he is wasting a day of pat leave

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

I'm not sure as I haven't had a "normal" labour. Only a CS and an induction.

You know your body though. Do you think this is it?

[OnlyWantsOne]

Yeah probably the start of "it"

[FalseStartered]

sounds like it's 'it' to me now, you have had a few warning shots - i'm so excited for you!

[OnlyWantsOne]

They hurt when they come but they aren't regular.

[TheLaineyWayIsEssex]

sounds like things are ramping up! I remember your last labour thread!
good luck

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

Did you take the tablets? And has it helped any?

[jaylee89]

im 28 weeks here and your making me all excited lol..........i may have to do a live labour too :D

breath my lovely breathhhhhhhh!!!

[OnlyWantsOne]

DP home. I can hear him ficking about outside on Thr drive.

[Indith]

Oooh good luick!

[MrsKwazii]

Wotcha OnlyWantsOne How exciting that your baby is on the way!

[OnlyWantsOne]

Some one tell me this is normal. They hurt. Likes fuck. DP has to hold me but I'm completely fine once they are over. Just feel tired.

[FalseStartered]

how often are they coming, Only?

they sound very normal to me btw, have you had that warm bath yet?

[OnlyWantsOne]

No warm bath

Any where between 3-7 minutes 30-50 seconds

Ok in between

Just ache. Baby is mOving like mad

Toddler 20 months keeps stroking my face. I'm trying not to bite her!!!

[FalseStartered]

are you planning a hospital birth because i think you might like to call the labour ward if you are and can i come too please, i'm so excited

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

I'm almost jealous. Got 7 weeks to go to due date.

Dying to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling.

Hopefully won't be long for you now.

[OnlyWantsOne]

Hospital is 50 mins away

Wibble

[OnlyWantsOne]

Dd2 was 15 hour labour. This will be hours yet.

[FalseStartered]

call them, and your childcare peeps

[GnocchiNineDoors]

Oooh surely by this time tomorrow though, on the frequency of cxns.

Have you briefed your DH on MN and keeping us updated when you are too busy labouring?

[TheLaineyWayIsEssex]

Every labour is different so could be quicker, but if you are managing at home maybe reassess in an hour. worth giving the delivery suite a call though - particulary as it's a fair way away.
