hello

had bloody show on monday, still coming away this morning.
woke at 3, felt period pains, took paracemtemol.
5 ish felt a warm trickle, and have gone through 2 more pads since.
was sick about 5.30 then went back to sleep.
but still no contractions! have called mw and they said to come in after rush hour.

when will my ctx start? is that normal?
also feeling hungry now, it is ok to eat right?

nope, contractions have pretty much stopped now, so am just waiting for DP to finish work then we're going for a walk!

still a lot of blood though, which is worrying - if it doesn't stop by mid evening, I'm calling the hosp again!

got my fingers crossed for you devils!

devilsadvocaat · 24/09/2009 16:49

boo about your ctx stopping.
i went for a walk, doesn't seem to have done anything except make me feel tired.

is this your first?

oh, hope something starts soon for you!
yes, this is my first - god alone knows how I'd cope otherwise!!
I'm assuming it's not your first?!

get yourself on youtube and watch a video of a birth - that may well get you going!
