[FlameIsOnDay2]

Waters started trickling about 6pm. Contractions are still vague and spaced out but there iyswim.

Erm, that's about it for the updates atm

Oh, will go change my name...

• am eating cake to keep my energy up

I am feeling nervous on your behalf...

Is this a HB or hospital? I just need to know whether I need to bring change for the hospital phone?

Ah isn't this exciting

Hope things are going well there!

Its a home birth - my first homebirth

Oooh yey for Homebirth!

I'm getting super broody

Cripes have you not had it by now was expecting a baby by the end of body combat! I shall have to take my laptop to work with me instead! (Meri we need somewhere with wireless access for lunch/coffee!)

Ooh, Flame, how exciting!
And just think, no more sickness or nausea! Hope last bit goes well.

I think you are amazing Flame! I can't believe you are posting on here and I've been chatting with you on FB while you are in labour! LOL. I couldn't concentrate on anything when I had my two girls. Hope all moves quickly for you now. x

Good lucky flamey!!!

How exciting! Sounds like you are doing a fabulous job so far

can't wait to hear the news!

where is she?

ooh maybe things are hotting up.

Still here. Tired. I know if I move it will speed things up, but it will also bloody hurt

Flame you do sound so calm - so excited for you!

Oh I remember that!

Me to DH : Go buy me a birthing ball it will help get things moving

Me on ball ....

DH: What are you doing?

me: It hurts! its giving me contractions

DH.... err ....

C'mon Flame you can do it!! Get moving. You've done it before and you know you'll have that gorgeous little bundle in your arms and the rest of it will be forgotten in a flash!! xx

Oh, Flame you are doing so well, think we will excuse you from a list today!

Lol - looking at the birth ball remembering it with DS. The midwife telling me to stand up and use the ball and me growling at her about it hurting

I will move to it in a min, I promise.

love this thread! Am supposed to be working at home but am transfixed by this.

Wishing you a lovely relaxed birth. x x

I remember that with the birthing ball too!!
But I stood up all cross;

"Is it hurting because it's a good position or a bad position?!"

If only I'd thought to post on Mumsnet, you'd have all told me to sit down and stop whinging!

Thank f*ck for that Cikecaka - I haven't even managed to get dressed

A minute must have passed by now? You moving yet?
