LOOK HERE !! RUBYSLIPPERS IS IN LABOUR ( WE HOPE!!) COME AND GIVE VIBES

[Lulumama]

My lovely sister is having contractions!! my parents are there and so is her DH. We are all rooting for her. Pains started about lunchtime and are getting stronger, closer and more regular, she had a show yesterday and a sweep this morning.

just spoke to her on the phone and she had to stop to have a contraction

soooooooooooooooo excited, but i can't be with her ( 200 miles away! ) but my mum will be brilliant ,as will her DH

please send all your good labour and birthing vibes to ruby

xxxxx

yay ruby!

it has gone quite quickly, hasn't it! she's definitely 40 weeks

sending nice gentle relaxing rocking and knee in the sacrum vibes.

if we all blow pffffffft through our lips we may also send good cervix softening vibes.

Go Ruby! Go Ruby!

Good luck to her, looking forward to hearing news

I recommend a nice bath for the expectant aunit, that will defiantely help with the waiting pains! Good luck Ruby

are you getting sympathy contractions?

Sending good vibes her way! Good luck to her

Ruby, Ruby, ra, ra, ra (pom poms being shaken).

ohmigodohmigodohmigod!

i can;t cope with another thread differentwitch!!

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

\feel free tp start one!

Baby be born before the day is up doncha think? - I betting on 8:30ish

my hands are sjaking !

I say girl, 7.18pm, 8lb9oz

Good luck Ruby

When my sister was in labour I was SICK with anxiety. It was a horrible feeling.

But all will be fine and you'll be an Aunt again, probably sometime today

What's sjaking? Is it a special doula move?

Come on Ruby's baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't ! i'm totally going to pieces here. it's a good job i'm not there ! i'd be a gibbering wreck

lulu, you have my upmost sympathy, I think its worse when you're further away

LOL, - It's lovely to see this thread tbh.

She's well established isn't she and sounds like she's don't brilliantly to have got so far before even going in. Bet she's managing just fine and it can't possibly be much longer.

4 cm !!!!!!

so that's great, as getting to 3cm can be longer and harder than getting from 3 - 10!

ohmigod!!

That was my pushing

okay, maybe my original guess of 7.18pm was a bit optimistic
