DD in early labour!!

[Divvy]

what do I do?

she is here at my house!

oh my god i am going to be a nanny soon!!

Awwwww, calm down, if it is early labour there is not much to do but sit and wait. Could she manage a walk out anywhere?

How exciting

Feed her now while she can still eat. Make sandwiches/snacks for later on. Make sure hospital bags are packed. Bake cakes and nice meals to freeze for when she is back home with baby and can't be arsed to cook.
How very exciting.

How early? Did you call the midwife yet?

God I'm boring and practical aren't I?

Divvy did you used to be called something else?? Can't remember the other name.. whose DD was preggers..

Good luck to you all esp. DD

do nothing at the minute

get ready thought, bags packed etc as has been said

potter around, stay mobile, enocurage her to eat and drink and go to teh loo.. her body will let her know when she needs to concentrate
just be with her

oooh how exciting . Good luck to your daughter. I dont know if you will be there for the duration but my mum was with me. The best thing was that she was so calm and encouraging.

No always been divvy.

Given her breafast and she is in the bath now, as i made her come out of her house without having one!

Just so she was here, if things stepped up, and not on her own.

Contractions are 4 mins apart and lasting for just over 1 min.

right off to have food myself.. i will need my strength for later!

oo fantastic Divvy (when was she due??)

4 days ago!

hehe - your grandson and youngest are going to be close in age

how long until you're due??? And do you know what you're having yet?

Mine is due end of July, but telling myself it will be august, jsut so I dont get my hopes up...as WILL go over due!!! there is another thread about that too... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/1365/494849?stamp=080313135919

I have my scan on monday!

Good luck divvy's DD. And divvy for later

sounds like things are getting going... when are you planning on going to the hospital

my my dh is not home till about 2 so hoping she can hold on a while longer! I have one year old baby myself, and need dh for sitting!!!

FAQ..fancy a bit of babysiting.....lol

when she is dressed, i will get her to ring labour ward i think

ok, keep us posted ! if she is coping at home, then great !

lol you know what Divvy I would happily babysit for you BUT I've got my interview at the Job Centre re my IS application this afternoon.....at 1.20 and have a friend coming over to look after DS2 and 3 while I'm there - she'll be bringing her 3yr old with her and although she's a mum of 5 (and a grandmother too ) I'm not sure she'd be too impressed by an extra baby to look after LOL

Its all stopped now!!!

We are going for a walk after lunch!!

i hope it all starts again soon

v exciting

x x x x x

Oh no, no more baths, not till she's past 5cm! Take the walk easy, she is going to need her energy Hope it get's things going again.

oh no!!! get her running up and down the stairs

just posted on your other thread... wishing you all the very best

Nope, nothing! But she isnow saying that she feels different down below, so maybe it has started something!

She has gone home now, but under strict instructions to phone if ANYTHING happens.

I now feel as fedup as she does!

i dont think the bath stopped labour, as if it was labour, nothing would stop it.......surely?
