ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Are you having this dc at home?

yup -midwife's been, was 2cm, veryy soft and stretchy,so we decided that babe's head is a bit deflexed (I've been up 3 nights niggling) since she's gone to do visits I've had some mighty rolling contractions so that's probably not the case anymore

Ooh how exciting! (Hi it's Pruni)
Hope it's going well

ooh, all power to you. Wishing you much strength and support!

How exciting! Sending you lots of dilation vibes xx

flex that head baby ! tuck in that chin, on your chest, and lets get this party started !!

do you think he can hear me from here!

remember.. don;t fight it, horsey lips and breeeeeeeeeeeathe !

how very exciting!

what are horsey lips?

good luck hun sending lots of labour vibes

spugs - do we really, really want to know

Good luck Lisa

OMG Lisa!!!!!! have just noticed!

clenching your mouth is not good when you are in labour, and keeping your mouth loose helps keep your other bits loose ! !horsey lips is blowing out through your mouth to make your lips go 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' , stops the clenching !

horsey lips is where you breathe out hard and make your lips flutter.... much like you see a horse do

When you do this, or belly laugh, all your oriffices (sp cos it doesn't look right however I spell it) can't help but open!!! It's good birthing practice!

(You know how likely you are to lose a bit of bladder control when you laugh too hard?)

come Lisa, I need an update!!!

Hello Lulu!!!! [hug]

Lulu, (slight hyjack) have you got a Rebozo? Have been looking at some on Ebay.... from a Mexican site.

Must arrange to go to online seller near me and see her stock.

Oh dear, my RL is going to pot today as I'm watching for a HBA2C on another forum. her waters went last night after a week of on/off labour...

I thought that was what the horseylips related to - see Spugs we didn't really want to visualise that with them did we?

Go lisa - and Klaw's other lady too!

rebozos are the best. I have a great pic of ds1 wrapped up in mil's rebozo. They are like the most functional garment I know of.

i knew it was you, lovely new name ! i have the chance to go to a rebozo workshop in liverpool, if i can get childcare... look very interesting ! i am sure someone i know can get hold of them for a reasonable price ...

BTW, it is orifices!

i love these threads !

those new Xmas pics of your boys are just gorgeous!

Lokks like another drawn out one this! Enough pain and general uncomfortableness to make me restless and a bit snappy, but only a small speeding up in contractions -so i'll probably be like this until later on, then all hell will break loose for about 20 minutes - It's bloody frustrating, i need descent vibes

go up the stairs sideways, and try to stay upright, make sure you are peeing enough... make room for baby to come down

don;t be

this is just a nature;s way of making sure when it kicks off, you are not too tired already

have some RLT with some honey and maybe try to sleep to conserve energy

bit of nipple stim ?

hang on in there, it is all good and all helping
