... is labour on its way?! please tell me it is, I'm 40 weeks tomorrow and very fed up! I had a show yesterday morning and it hasn't stopped since. I've got contractions but they more or less stop when I sit down or lie down so true labour hasn't started yet. I feel very uncomfortable standing, with a big pressure on my lower tummy and feeling very crampy. Don't know what I'm asking really, maybe just for some reassurance that it's not going to last until 42 weeks!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, toast and PB. Yummy.

Seamonster, when is the little one due?

seamonster · 19/06/2007 13:11

september 14th, you?

It's grey and overcast up but it may turn sunny by tea time (it's quite usual for the sun to come out just in time for it to go down here in Scotland)

Anyhow, I've brought more scones and jam... >

Any Toast and PB going spare? Haven't had any in ages as dp not a fan. Have also splashed out recently on the Guinness Marmite but haven't tried it yet.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Had a nice nap and enjoying those scones.

Disaster. We have no PB. Well we never even have PB, it is only Almond Butter, but it tastes the same...

Seamonster, mine is not due til 2 Feb. Ages away.
