Time for the RGPargy labour thread?

[RGPargy]

OK people, i think this is it!

I've been having a show since 7.30am which has not stopped at all. I've had a period-type ache all day in my tummy with slight back ache. At about 6.30pm i crashed out on the sofa and then decided to take myself up to bed for a bit coz i was soooo tired. Now i'm having mild contractions, but i've not been timing them so i'm not sure how far apart they are yet. Will get the contraction timer on the go i think!

I'll keep you posted!

can i do the announcement, can i can i?

[misdee bounces likes an over excited puppy]

Oh RG - good luck. I can vouch for our local community midwives. They're fab - brilliant at our home birth. Hope your home birth goes wonderfully smoothly.

Scooby - yes i've been timing them with contraction master lol. They're averaging about every 5 minutes now. Just waiting for the mw to call me back.

Misdee - yes you can do the announcement lol

Aero - thanx! I hope ours are equally as good as yours!
