Duchesse's childbirth thread...she hopes

[duchesse]

After about an hour of painless contractions every 3 mins, waters just went. Had forgotten quite how bloody much of it there is. I sit back and await labour...

[eightisseventoomany]

Are you still awake Duchesse ?
anything happening ?

[kitkatqueen]

Walk duchesse Walk!!!!!

Sending all positive vibes.

[duchesse]

Over 48 hours now and still nothing. Am seriously considering going for induction today.

[turtle23]

Sex is obviously out...but have you considered the orgasm by itself bit? Not a homeopath but maybe some Caulophyllum 200c? Still going with breast pump? Or perhaps most effective...(though sounds silly) go and have a quiet bath and have a talk with your baby, reassure him/her that all is well and you are ready for him/her to make an entrance.

[audreyraines]

acupuncture, reflexology? can you get in for something today? hoping it will happen today and you can avoid induction. xxx

[duchesse]

Got my reflexologist friend coming at about 10 this morning!

[duchesse]

Also have had a few good cx since 6am! Just pumped up the yoga ball again...

[aRLcat]

I hope today's the day! A good roll on the yoga ball might help keep things moving and nipple tweaking can definately do so

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

I have two friends who are reflexologists who both started each others labours, it can be very effective, neither of them ever got a crack at my feet, as both my babies came before 39 weeks.

Wishing you loads of luck, keep on bouncing....

[Portofino]

Good luck! Hope something happens today!

[ScarletBandit]

Good luck duchesse! Fingers crossed that your baby decides to make an entrance today

[JustKeepSwimming]

Hope something's happening for you today Duchesse

[Boobz]

You're doing so well Duchesse - don't think about induction before Thursday - you still have 2 whole days for labour to get going before then! These are some of the things I tried to kick start my (faltering) labour at home so I could give birth at home:

Breast pump
Bouncing on ball
Eating (chopped apple and banana)
Orgasm (with vibrator)

Come on baby Duchesse! xxx

[PlumBumMum]

Oh yoga ball definitely worked for me,

and also a large slice of chocolate cake worked for my friend I joked with her there was no room for the cake and the baby she text me later on after I had left her home to say she was in the hospital

[JustKeepSwimming]

Doesn't Lulu recommend ready a saucy book on the loo?

Hope things are progressing....

[duchesse]

I'm just going into hospital for induction, guys. Nothing is working, and the nights are too dark to go through another one like this. Back asap.

[LadyStealthPolarBear]

hope it goes well duchesse, looking forward to reading your birth announcement

[OnlyWantsOneDoesntLikeDM]

good luck sweetie x x x x x

[Deeeja]

good luck duchesse, have been following your threads.

[geordieminx]

FWIW I think you are doing the right thing Duchesse (not that I am an expert or anything). Yours and the baby's well being are the most important things, not where you have the baby IYKWIM?

Good luck, cant wait for the news.

[Hangingbellyofbabylon]

Best of luck Duchesse, hoping for a smooth delivery.

[OracleInaCoracle]

[LuluMaman]

[LaDiDaDi]

Good luck Duchesse. x

[laurielou]
