I Think Its Time To Start The Famous JARM IN LABOUR Thread....

[JARM]

Contractions coming

Are painful but not very long

DD2's contractions were only ever 30 seconds long and 2 mins apart

NOt sure when to wake DH

Have tried to rest, but they are keeping me awake

Someone entertain me through the night - we are only 2 mins from hospital as im at my dads so dont want to go tooooooo early

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh A BABY!!!

Does freaky cheerleader dance<

Go, girl!!!

Woohoo!

Are you timing them?

How do you feel?

oooh thanks for the link hunker

been trying to time them but wasnt sure how to! Start of one to start of another was roughly 6 mins

feel ok, tired, sore and my back is killing me

have felt sick all night and had a "clear out"

a little shakey now though

I was just thinking about you JARM, wondering if the sweep worked, looks like it did - am so excited how far apart are they?

Sounds pretty promising to me!

How exciting!

Have you phoned the labour ward? Are you all ready to go?

havent phoned anyone

Dh is still asleep

bags all in car ready, i just need to throw some clothes on!

last one was 48 secs

Good luck JARM

from another Nov antenatal thread-er

Good Luck, I've got my fingers crossed it all goes well for you.

Mine were never longer than 45 seconds when I had DS2. They didn't believe I was in proper full-blown labour until about 5 minutes before he was born!

going to wake DH - see what he thinks!

im still not convinced this is it - although after my sweep this afternoon anything is possible.

that contraction timer is saying 40-50 secs each and 2-3 mins apart!

That's what mine were almost up to when DS2 was born - and this is your third baby, JARM!

Really hope it all goes well for you - have you got the bf supportline numbers in your bag?

Am going to bed now - will be thinking of you and sending easy birth and good latching-on vibes.

Try stroking his palm to get him to open his mouth wider btw - tis a reflex in newborns, apparently.

And don't panic either - you're having a healthy, term baby. He'll be fine for a bit while you work bf out. Just take it easy, breathe, relax your shoulders and try to feed within an hour of his birth.

Enjoy it, lovely - you're doing an amazing thing tonight!

Good luck, JARM

how goes it JARM?

Dh up and awake - as is my dad!

am about to phone hospital i think!

How exciting

Not long and you will have a gorgeous baby in your arms.

you may not believe it right now but I for one am quite jealous of you. A whole new person about to arrive in the world through you.

I'm jealous too!!
