Morning ladies!
39w tomorrow... Felt a weird 'popping' sensation mid-belly this morning which I've never felt before. Got up, fed dog, done normal first morning pee... However this has been followed by 2 extra small gushes / leaks which have led me to run back to the toilet. Not dark coloured (as is expect from morning pee), and no particular smell (which again I would expect from morning pee).

I'm not normally a pee-leaker... Just wondering if this could be my waters breaking?!

I meant exciting in my last post but I guess the baby WILL be exiting so still kind of made sense!

Glad to hear it's all started, fingers crossed baby doesn't keep you waiting much longer, 8 June seems a good day to be born

My midwife didn't believe I was as far along as labour as I actually was she was an idiot by the time she eventually checked me (after trying to send me home) I was 10cm and ready to push, too late for drugs and I didn't want G&A because I don't like the thought of it, so thought sod the drugs the end is in sight and DS arrived 40 mins later!

So far so good. Had 12 hrs on the Tens, with contractions progressing to every 4-5 mins. Every 3rd contraction is excruciating. Currently sitting in the bath which seems to have slowed them down to every 7-8mins but less pain, which is quite welcome after 12 hrs!

Well done you're doing great! Try and get some rest if you can X

That's great progress! Hope it all goes smoothly for you. Every contraction you get through is one less ahead of you!

After my waters breaking and contractions starting at 6am yesterday, my baby boy finally arrived by forceps at midday today. Quite a dramatic labour in the end; highlights being 18 hrs of near-constant contractions, epidural which took 3 attempts to get sorted, then a trip to theatre for a sucessful forceps interventions (thereby avoiding c-section). Thanks for your kind words of support currently enjoying newborn baby snuggles!
