Are you there Lulu??? : )

[flightattendant]

Been having contractions since 6.54, lasting over a minute, getting closer.

Labour ward said give it an hour and ring again and they might think about sending some one out, Doula is out somewhere but have left a message...

Ok times. 6.54, 7.03, 7.11, 7.15, 7.20, 7.24, 7.28, 7.31...just waiting for another one!!!

Still no waters or show that I've noticed...

Very painful but not beyond the realms of coping!

Just thought I'd let you know. Does this sound like it might be the real thing?

ooo exciting

hope you are managing to relax between contractions

lulu should be around soon

ooh, a live birth thread, i always come to these late!

sounds promising!

wow amazed your still posting well done and yes sounds like all systems are go!

Ok another biggie at 7.38...that's not too regular though is it?

tbh sounds regular enough...

yes regular enough mine never came equally spaced more to do with increase of the strength, breath

Will have to get Doula to post when things get heavy!!!

pmsl bet she's a mner too!

7.44 that REALLY hurt!

So when do I call the midwives again? They said not till it's regular at every 3 minutes and unbearable. TBH I don't know if I'll be able to call them by then.

DS is helping me...we laughed through the last one as I was making such funny noises

That actually helped! (he's 4 bless him)

Mum's at Sainsburys. I just hope baby doesn't decide to arrive before anyone is around!

i would prob call the mw now, just to be on the safe side.

Just to say good luck flightattendent. If you feel you need a midwife there then call them, you may want a bit of gas and air to help. As carol3 said sometimes it's not the timing it's the strength of them. Glad to hear you have a doula, I'm sure you'll relax more as soon as she comes through the door! I'll be watching this thread,

Oh!Good luck FA!

Thanks Ladies! Hi Beckmo! Anything with you yet?

oooh exciting.

in the absence of lulu, have a piece of cake and a cup of tea x

ooh, how exciting! FA - good luck

I echo what the others have said - if you feel you need the midwife, call her.

Ooh, FA, was thinking about you and wondering how thing are going. Sounds pretty close to me - good luck!

MW coming in a minute, down to 4 minutes apart, Where is Ds's Grandma!!!???

Well at least it ain't the middle of the night!

How are you feeling? You sound dead calm. Bet this is going to be lovely for you.

Btw - what is your mum doing in Sainsbury's at 7.30am?

Ooo - how exciting! Good luck FA!

Ooh good luck! I love threads like this, soooo exciting!

another good luck message here!!!!
