Eeek... I think I'm in labour... anyone up?

[fourlittlefeet]

I can't believe this may be a full moon baby! I've had strong back feelings going on all afternoon, then in the evening they moved to the front and now its period ouchy and regular...

Will be lookig out for you flf! Am gonna be on my own on the thread.....

just joined thread. good luck girl. will be thinking of you

...Just read antenatal thread and am left wondering why your mum has the tens flf......

Now I'm NEVER going to sleep!!

Hi - just saw your thread. i was at contractions lasting one minute, every three minutes, from the time my waters went (after my very first contraction). Still took a loooooooooooooooong time. Get some rest. Good luck!!!
Update with a birth story, ok??

just checking in quickly before heading bedwards - good luck fourlittlefeet - hope this is the real deal!

My dd just got up and demanded a cup of tea and a hot water bottle so she is obviously feeling the labout vibe too! I agreed to the hot water bottle and am drinking the tea myself. Hope your doing good flf.

Guessing you are having a loooooong bath or are pottering into hospital.

BH only here and pressure so very if you are on!!

Oohhh! Labour thread!! Yes!

How are you Fourlittlefeet? I hope it's all going really well!!!

good luck

hope you managed some rest fourlittlefeet, and if it tailed off remember that all the contractions will help towards the end stage.
If it didn't tail off and your in hospital good luck and hope everything goes well,

Wishing you speed and ease of delivery, FLF

Just thought I'd update... still going on regularly, but at the same level, so seems to be still establishing.. we shall see! I did manage to get to sleep so that was brilliant advice .

thanks for all the good luck wishes. Was so sure I'd have it today... we shall see, there is still plenty of time!

thank you! I'm hoping this one won't read nataliejane proportions... her is this it thread went to 41 pages.. and no baby! Never did find the finale!

GOOD Luck FLF... We're all very of your iniment arrival! xx

Glad you got rest flf. Was all ready to get towels and boild water here! Hey ho maybe today is your day x

?this time I have to come home with a baby?

I think I was saying that most times, but this time when we knew things were happening but not quite at the section stage I was really getting annoyed about it!

I didn?t mean your scar, just saying why I needed to be monitored early I meant that if there is a reason they want you to go in not to worry. But it sounds like it?s more just the tediousness and frustration of the up and down (can you tell I did it? Lol) that?s getting to you more than anything. I can understand that, I?ve ignored the contractions a few times and even the last time I left them for 24 hours before doing anything about it!

Am I right in guessing that me, February mum, has had her baby before some January mums who are getting irritated at still being pregnant?

yes, you'd be very right! We are mostly still waiting; its the 10th and there has only been 1 jan birth!

I'm amazed, I would have expected far more babies in both clubs by now, statistically 1 in 8 babies are born early. Maybe we'll end up with a competition

still nothing . regular tightenings again today, but no ouchy ones... they have tended to come on later but not as regularly as last night which is why I got excited. That'll teach me then! Will update you if there are any advances.

I feel your pain hun i keep having flippin night twinges and then proper contractions..ok proper no, painful yes..keep thinking 'Is this it??!!"
Then nowt.

Wishing you the best of luck and sharing some of the 'pop baby NOW' vibes that every one of my family/friends is sending me

thanks blue; come and join us on the jan 09 antenatal thread here; there are about 30 of us feeling like this!

Yes blue come across.....or maybe don't as we seem to have some labour inhibiting thing going on over our way. Have a mighty fine postnatal thread all fluffed, beds made and sparsly populated too.
