EDD this friday
Homebirth planned

Been getting mighty Braxton Hicks for weeks as per with ds and dd.

Today been quiet BH wise until 6pm when bam 15 mins apart, quite strong powerful pressure ones began.
These have continued through dinner/bath/laying/sitting/gym ball etc
now am 8 mins aprt, still managing ok but harder to get through.
Am almost too scared to bloody hope this might be it....
DD and DS were fast labours. With both I woke up as contractions got 5 minutes apart
I've never been awake for first stage as yet...

odds anyone?

Just to keep us going while we wait patiently.........and quietly.......very patiently.....ok not so patiently

mr piffle.......?

going for a virtual stroll
hope all is ok

Lemon Drizzle Cake? Hello btw.

MMMmmmmmmMMMMMMMmm, thanks for that JetPeanut! Hello to you too!

aha update on the true to book awkward 3rd labour!!!

right update!
homebirth went skewiff, aftre failing to progress, was 4 cms at 11pm 5cms at 2am, so midwife and I thought water breaking would help as contractions stopped dead.
Nothing, as it go to 6am, I was shattered, kids were due up and we decided on transfer to hospital
only bloody blue lights in the snow! started contracting on the way ( the long bumpy road to get labour going is not a myth it works!)

arrived at 6.10am, everything kicked off, Finn arrived 3 mins after his daddy walked in the door at 7.27am, no pain relief, he is 8lbs 3 oz and thoroughly delicious, feeding like a trooper.
Was home by 1pm, am totally shattered as is dp, we had nap this afternoon.

thx foe the lurve, was not as planned but am happy with the whole experience.
Alls well that ends well!

HOORAY
CONGRATULATIONS
Phew!
