Because we all love a live birth thread...

[BlueBananas]

Sat on my birthing ball in hospital after my waters went with a pop at home 3 hours ago
Only 3cm dilated so a way off yet
Looks like I'm in for long night, amuse me MN

Do you know anything about the variety you're having?

Ooh is it your first? If not it could be a very short wait!

Oh how exciting! Good luck OP.

So exciting! Good luck and congrats, OP!

Good luck - x

Exciting bluebananas !!!

I remember your impressive bump from the bump comparison thread.

My bump is considerably smaller now Maisie there's no water in there, it's a bit strange!
It's my 3rd so hopefully when things start happening they'll happen very quickly...when things finally start happening!

Best of luck, hopefully it won't be too long.

Oooh - exciting!!

Well, I'm off to bed now, so enjoy the next few hours while the rest of us sleep . Hope it all goes well, and congratulations!

Ooh! Good luck. Keep us updated...

Well I've been sent home!
This is very new territory for me, my waters have never broke before and both other labours have been pretty quick, so I'm feeling a bit lost really now!
Going to put a film on and order a pizza, hopefully I'll have more exciting updates soon - feeling like a bit of a fraud

Pick a really good film-something funny.

And your favourite kind of pizza!

Best of luck!

Ooh, I'm up for a love birth thread!!
I'm 5 hours behind GMT, keep posting if you want someone to chat to...

Love a bit of love birth. Hope you're ok

Live birth even. Not sure love birth is a term.

Me too... waters been going since 8.30pm, contractions started at midnight. 5 mins apart now. My second. So different to the first. First was back-to-back and completely unmanageable from the offset. Waters went when I was examined. Feels weird to be sitting here watching telly and waiting for it to get more painful!
Best of luck Blue.

Oh my goodness, potentially a double live birth thread. Good luck blue and Cornish.

The race is on!

Good luck ladies, keep bouncing on those balls!!

Ha ha! Not sure I'll be able to keep you updated once I go in as I don't think I can get on mn on my phone.... but will certainly let you know when I'm home again. And I think it might be a while before I go in anyway...

Contractions seem to have slowed to almost stopping... I'm going to try going back to bed...

Blue and Cornish how are you doing? I hope you're coping and having some rest. Good luck!

Thank you. Coping fine. Slept about 2.30-5ish (when my toddler climbed into my bed!). On the ball again now, contractions coming and going...

Ooo Cornish how exciting! How you doing?
I've just woke up, contractions were every 10 mins apart until 1am-ish and now seem to have completely stopped
Waters still very much going (can't believe how much there is!!) so having a damp bum prevented me from having the best sleep, but I've had some and I'm ready to rock now, just need some flipping contractions!!

Is this the dullest live birth thread ever?!

Oh see I don't even have a ball, the one I was on earlier was the hospitals! Lots of speed bumps on my road though, might have to go for a drive
