Am I in labour???

[NatalieJane]

I know it has been done 1000 times before, but if nothing else I just want something to do with myself while my body decides what it is going to do.

I felt fine all day, got to about about 5 o'clock-ish, and very suddenly started to feel sick, didn't want to eat dinner but DH made me eat some toast which perked me up a bit, have been having fairly mild but intense contractions (can you have mild and intense at the same time?!!) with a tiny bit of back pain, coming every 8-10 minutes or so. The contractions aren't painful, but just really tight, and the baby has dropped really low.

Anyone who has followed the last 5 weeks with me, this is completely different to every contraction I have had before!

I actually feel really silly posting this, in case it turns out to be nothing, but I am bored and can't concentrate on the telly, so thought it would at least take some time up.

whole point.... I get worse....!

I wish there had been Mumsnet when I was in labour. It's so lovely to have all this support at hand 24/7 when your other half is busy making the ZZZZZZssss.

morning my dears....how is everyone? please let there have been at least one baby born in the night!?!?!?!?

any news from debbsy?

2ndtime, you are so right about the support, I think I'd have gone slightly mad by now, if everyone hadn't have kept me smiling

Lulu, I caught Debbsy on the Nov thread this morning, nothing happening, she has gone back to bed.

I have lost some serious amounts of show this morning, I know it is early and people will be eating so sorry, but seriosuly, I am starting to think it really is a jelly baby in there.

...I wonder if it has anything to do with being led down for so long over night??

could be nat......did it happen as you stood up or went for a wee?

am going to have a bath with Babylulu, then we have some errands to do as MIL took DS to school so i stayed in bed until 7.45, DH looked afer Babylulu! yay!

so nice not having to rush out to do the school run...was bricking it as babylulu born in the summer hols, so i had 5 weeks to get to the point of being able to get out of the house on time with a newborn!

DS hates being late. as do i , so i really didn;t want him to be late becasue of the baby......!

it is the 2 week anniverary of this thread nat, shall we have some bucksfizz! reckon we can hit 1000 posts before baby arrives !!

Morning! How's it going, NJ? How are you feeling today?

Like the new name, LG&T! Makes me wish I had chosen a different login name now, as you can't really do much with mine to make it Christmassy!

morning nothing from me im afraid
oooohhh so excited for Cal ive got a large bottle of champagne just waiting to be popped
and nat when we have our babies after all these contractions i have a magnum lol.
catch you all later off to watch this life xx

HM has had her baby.....go look at her post on the multiples thread for Do you ever wonder how life carries on and on......

OOOOHHHHH am all gooey inside....

Hi NJ, have you not had that baby yet?

Lulu, I got out of bed, went for a wee, came down stairs made a cuppa for me and DH sat down then when I stood up it came out then..... sorry LOL You did ask!! I'll have a week to figure out how to get out of the house on time for school with DS and the new baby, must admit it is the only thing I a bit worried about, I remember it taking half a morning to get out with DS as a baby.

I have been into town, just spent £36 on christmas cards (and an anniversary card for DH - it is tomorrow) Then I went and got some wrapping paper, bows, strings, gift tags, and selotape - £27!!!

I am not going back into town this week, it costs wayyyyyy too much money!! LOL And I have had some really tight contractions this morning, but nothing since I got home, maybe the 2 bars of Dairy Milk Caramels I ate have seen them off

...Off to find HM's thread.

She has posted in the birth announcements too now.

Ive just eaten 4 Krispy Kreme donuts....12DOC fron our may thread sent them to me all wrapped up in a lovley box. I have 6 to go

Ahhh.... My selfless acts are being posted on OTHER THREADS!

Actually, I only sent them to you because I realised I couldn't ACTUALLY eat 16 all by myself.

Saw the words "birth announcements" and got really excited for a second. You're next NJ. I can feel it in "me warthers" .

It is OK I caught up with her on the Nov thread I don't feel guilty about the chocolate now, 6 donoughts????!!! LOL I know you are pregnant but 6?!!!! LOL

No, I won't be next, I'm here for the duration! Debbsy next

Sorry, LOL I read it as you having already eaten 6 LOL Blame the pregnancy brain....!

No NJ ive eayen 4 so far i have another 6 to go....i will eat them all to....ive been craving KK's for about a month now but have not got a supplier near me so the very lovely 12DOC sent me a box of them...

Im going to a ball next weekend and just fit in a size 12 dress (bump expanding rapidly) im hoping the KK munching doesnt tip me over the edge

Am off shopping now, no giving birth while im gone, i have a hair app at 12.45 so so wont be able to check in till tea time (i have a lot of hair) Besides i predict saturday for this baby arriving so i forbid it till then....

Your sure to drop now!

Look at you all lah-de-dah with going to a ball

Now that I am of!! Would love to do the whole Cinderella ball thing

Have a nice pampered afternoon, I am off to wrap these pressies (if I can find them...)

hope you don't mind.....just sticking my beak in to see who has had child and who is still here I'm neither pregnant nor doula so I feel a bit rude. Lovely news from HM.

NatalieJane, I was thinking of Christmassy names for ShowofHands on the May thread and was thinking, "LetitShnow", but it made me think of you.

You should be "LetitShow".

Ooooh, I quite like those Lulumama. I might just use one. The only one I could think of was CreenaRoastingOnAnOpenFire, which isn't all that appealing, to be honest!
