SleighGirl · 26/12/2008 21:21

those prostin pains are very tedious! Have you got your tens machine on?

2Happy · 26/12/2008 21:22

Heavens, I remember the first one vividly! Won't be able to keep you company, but wishing you all the best x

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 26/12/2008 21:23

We're thinking Mikey, still not sure because I'm not totally in love with Michael, but it is the closest we've come so far!

Oh I like it!!

Hey how come you on net when you having induction? Didn't know they could induct at home.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 26/12/2008 21:26

Sorry will be x posting all the time, it takes an age to type one sentence on this bloody thing.

nope no tens, am hoping it will go like last time and be over before I get chance to use anything properly!

Is patientline slow?

I like Mikey, have a cousin of that name, he is one extremely cool kid.

So pleased you've started a labour thread, thought you might not with it being an induction. Are you havin' an epidural, what have they done to you so far?

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 26/12/2008 21:29

ooo how exciting! good luck!

NAB3hundredChristmaslights · 26/12/2008 21:29

Get your TENS on! It takes 45 minutes to kick in anyway and it won't matter if labour is short but it might help if it is long.

Good luck!!

simpsonsChristmasSpecial · 26/12/2008 21:31

How exciting!!

Love the name Mikey BTW

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 26/12/2008 21:32

the speed isn't great, but the keyboard is tiny on the back of a remote control, but each button needs a hammer to press it, so it is really slow to type. plus there isnt a proper mouse slow slow slow...

Hoping it's a shorter induction than mine!

Astarte · 26/12/2008 21:34

Are you updating the wagoners? Maybe I should check in there too.

Do they expect a fast labour etc?

AaliyahsFirstXmas · 26/12/2008 21:35

Oh this is so exciting but I'm not gonna be able to stay up for ALL of it. Need an early night as I got a cold

I hope it all goes smoothly and quickly for you and I will be here till I have to sleep

SparklyPseudonym · 26/12/2008 21:36

Good luck!! I was in labour by 3am after having the first dose at 11pm so I hope it's as quick for you.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 26/12/2008 21:36

I havent got a tens this time, didnt use it last time at all.

lol at 'no caps and punctuation' followed by 'PITA!'.
Am off to bed in a min, so just wishing you a good night, and hoping to hear of a baby by morning.

CantSleepWontSleep · 26/12/2008 21:43
