c'mon, NJ, it's been a brilliant hoax but you can take those cushions out now...

(fingers crossed for this evening, some time after the X-Factor result. maybe the baby is just waiting to see if the McDonald Brothers go out?)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love sneezing, DH has about 5 sneezes in a row at least twice a day, I am lucky if I sneeze once a week unless I have a cold!

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:13

so now all you have to do is get the actual pains, start contracting, dilating blah blah blah...

MKGnearlyimmaculateconception · 03/12/2006 02:13

God NJ at every twinge you must think "is this it?"

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:14

maybe if you sneezed more, you'd sneeze that baby right out!!

MKGnearlyimmaculateconception · 03/12/2006 02:14

I had a student (I used to be a Spanish Teacher) that would sneeze 12 times in a row. In a campus of 3000 kids everyone knew her the sneezer.

MKGnearlyimmaculateconception · 03/12/2006 02:15

saralou100,

I said the same thing to her the other day.

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:15

LOL MKG, this is me you are talking to, I don't think I can do the real thing....! Go to bed, I'm not staying for much longer, going to get inthe bath I think, it does sometimes stop the contractions.

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:15

hayfever season, i've been known to do more than 20... at work you can hear me the other end of the ward!!

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:17

why do you want to stop the contractions... when i had my little pains the other night dp banned me from getting in the bath.. i was allowed to shower only for 5 mins!!

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:19

I actually don't think 'is this it' when the contractions first started at 33 weeks I did worry then that it would lead to premature labour, but we got to the point where we were putting off doing dinner just incase something happened, and after a week or so of sitting on tender hooks wondering if we should be going to the hospital or not, we'd had enough so since then unless the contractions really start to hurt, I don't time them, I try to ignore them best I can, and just sit and wait for them to go every night so I can go to bed!

The last time I thought something might have been starting was the Friday I started the labour thread, but even then, I wasn't ever convinced labour was starting.

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:21

I try to stop them else I'd be up even later and they would just wear away by themselves, if it was real labour nothing I do would stop it, so I'm not putting off labour, just these stupid contractions that aren't doing anything except keeping me awake!

MKGnearlyimmaculateconception · 03/12/2006 02:21

My hypnobirthing book says that baths can help induce labor, because it promotes relaxation and releases our physical and mental tensions.

I'm off to bed.

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:25

valid point nj!!

if that hypnobirthing book is right then thats another thing to cross off the list of ways to induce labour.. i know you take lots of baths nj!

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:26

My midwives said not to get in the birth pool until I'd been checked because if I get in before 5cm dilated it is likely to slow it all way down (she said she had a woman in the pool for over 14 hours all because she got in too early).

I agree with you though, I would find a bath much more relaxing and usefull for pain relief than any thing else in the early stages, even if it does slow things down a bit.

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:27

LOL I haven't been out of the bath very much these last few weeks, I have had two baths today already...!

G'night MKG xxx I'll shout really loud if anything happens!!

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:32

perhaps it's a fish your having not an elephant!

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:36

This poor baby, he has been called jely baby, an elephant, a fish, what next?!!

I was the same with DS in the last few weeks, I think it is the buoyancy of the water, it is the only place I can let my back get some serious rest, it is all warm and quiet, well it is quiet till I am led there thinking 'what's that noise?' and then realise that it is me snoring LOL

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:40

must admit to loving the water too, somedays just one bath, but mostly i'm a 2 a day girl!!

you need to sort your snoring issues out if they disturb you and the cat!!

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 02:45

LOL It has been since I had this fluey thing, I feel much better now but still got a funny nose, it isn't bunged up but it is sticky if that makes any sense? But I've been snoring like a trooper since! I've kept DH awake at night, as you know pissed the cat off, wake myself up with it, even DS shouted through from his bed last night to tell me to be quiet!!! LOL If it carries on after I've had the baby I will be waking him up more than him waking me up!! LOL

saralou100 · 03/12/2006 02:58

god it's 3am!!! how did that happen... enjoy your bath, i'm gonna try some sleep so i have the energy to bounce!!

NativityJane · 03/12/2006 03:01

I am off as well, I migt make it to bed before 4 today!

Hope something happens for you tomorrow on the trampoline!! G'night xxx

LadyAnne1stTimeMum · 03/12/2006 11:54

Aha - found you! (I'll look at the other next) - well this one is obviously for the night shift - so I'll mark it as my twitchyness is threatening to send me into insomnia..

See you on the other thread
