Ok can I change my mind please

Girl, 7lb 6oz, Saturday, 4.36am

yep, so we now have..

DTM boy 8lb 2oz 3.35 tomorrow
womb girl, 7lb 6oz, 4.36pm tomorrow
tittle 1am sun
max Girl 8lb9, next Thursday
kay girl and 7lb2oz Midday on Sunday
lulu boy 7lb 7oz 11.15am tomorrow.

don't think DB will sleep much tonight no more news thou. am expecting a call early hours thou.

nothing over night, she spent an hour and a half at the hosp last night, has to go back at 8am today, is 1 cm dilated,

contractions every 5-6 mins, so I'm now thinking by 3.32 this afternoon - best get out shopping for a card I guess!

boy, 6lb 15oz, 5.25 this afternoon.

well nothing still..

lol.

she now has the tenns machine out, but was snet home from the hospital earlier - maybe it will be tomorrow. not sure who's getting more impatient - the family ringing each otehr to see if there's any news ( as bro only talking to mum/I) or bro who's currently pacing the floor and trying to cook a roast for SIL! - not sure she'll want it but at least he's helping!

ok, she is still in early labour

this is what she needs to do:

rest , sleep if she needs it

eat and drink nourishing but light food, complex carbs are good

wee and poo as she needs to

listen to her body and go with it

when she is having ctx every 5 minutes, lasting a minute or so, that is more likely to be established labour..

when she needs to concentrate on the ctx and needs to close her eyes and breathe and work through them, then she should go back to hospital.

baby alfie paul born 1.55am this morning weighing in at a whopping 9lb 1oz, mother and baby doing well, all SIL had was a tens machine. so i'm an aunty.

so tittle was the closest.

woooooo hooooooooo! great news, congratulations xxxx
