Im in labour

[Bekkygirl92]

Im in labour first time mum argh help me

Breathe!!!! Where are you?

My sisters house. Having contractions been steady at 7 mins apart but intensifying

How exciting! How many weeks are you?

41 today

Where did you plan to give birth?

The hospital. They are lasting like a minute aand a half is that normal i cant get hokd of mt midwife

Maybe call the labour ward? I wouldn't be calling my midwife unless I was having a home birth.

She told me to call her when i was in labour cause shes meant to be delivering her. I went to labour ward about 2 hours agp and they sent me home

Stay calm, you're progressing and that is good. Do whatever helps you to cope. Staying on your feet is good.

When your contractions are about 5 mins apart and you can't talk through them is roughly when you're supposed to call the hospital so you could probably chill where you are for a bit longer. Or feel free to call labour ward again for assessment.

It's all going to be ok, you can do this.

Okay thanks im trying its all juat a little overwhelming

Sounds like it won't be a horribly long labour. You can do this. Breathe. Long and slow. Good luck.

I hope not, but yeah contractions are about 6/7 mins about and lasting 90 seconds. My water hasnt broken yet but have had the show

Call the labour ward for advice - good luck and hope labour and birth goes well

Exciting day for you!

It still could be pre labour . Have u managed to get in touch with hospital ?? Good luck

Why did hospital send you home ? I'm a midwife and we only send ladies home that are not in active labour . Did they examine you? Are you dilated ?

Am headi g back up to hospital now as im really uncomfortable and they getting more intense

Which midwife is supposed to be delivering baby ? Most community midwives do one shift In Hospital a week and would never tell a lady they want to deliver her baby . Of course if your lucky when you go into labour and she is on duty she most likely will request to look after her community patient ?

Were you dilated ? Could be head engaging which gives labour like pains

Ooo how exciting good luck op

I can't believe you're on mumsnet right now!

Ah bless you, good luck op

I have a private midwife, so all my appointments planni g etch have been with her. Wil let u know when u get there how i go

Don't worry about waters not going. Mine normally go as I am about to push. Good luck.

Oh and i had 4 babies and my waters never went with any
