Waters gone.... Yup. Contractions started.... Indeed. Anyone want a nice birth thread with Flamesparrow?

[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...

oooh, exciting

I know this was another thread, but I say boy (mini Flameboy) 7lb 11oz born today at 7:11 pm

dear god don't keep me hanging on that long- i need to do stuff and i can't until she has the baby

Actuall just been reading thread - I think I may be being a bit mean making her wait til after 7 tonight

has gone quiet on the flame front- no fb news either, must be serious now

I think Boy too, but that's probably because his name is Gus

Anyone been taking bets on names?

I think it'll be a girl. Haven't been following the welsh name threads enough to know what they like.

She must be busy.... bouncing or maybe pushing?
Is it near that stage yet? How long has Flame been contracting?

I haven't posted on here in a long time but saw this thread and felt all warm and fuzzy,a yummy new baby . I should really be making inroads into my NVQ homework, but I just can't concentrate. The suspense is too much! If I don't concentrate I might add a few words on Flame's homebirth into the essay, now that would confuse the assessor.....

Jeez Flamesparrow, I go away from Mumsnet for a few weeks and here you are having the baby already!

Will be checking for further updates, must figure out how to get more MN time in--been letting it lapse, distracted by 8 week old DS!

Hi YnC!

FGS! Has she not had it yet??

Get a move on Flame. I expected you'd have had it by the time I got back from my meeting. I have loads to do, get on with it woman!

its been about 50 mins from last post,,,, ds is moaning hungry and i was going to make something nice and warm but hes going to have to do with ham sandwiches now as im stuck here being all supportive !

dd is just about to wake up and she is going to expect a little more than a greggs sausage roll and a fruit shoot for lunch- but i am stuck on here

Hiya Trillian! Having a quick twirl in my Halloween name, now off to feed DS AGAIN.

C'mon Flame!

Just marking my place.

I feel compelled to watch this as well and I have an exam on Wednesday.

I need to use my laptop for other things, not constantly watching for new babies (although it it much more interesting that research techniques).

I had a homebirth and it is making me all nostalgic but thankfully, not broody.

Good luck Flame. Hope your baby is already here and you have your hands too full to post.

Marking my place as well. I have been at work for 4 hours and have gotten absolutely nothing done. Too busy checking mn for news of baby flame.

Push harder Flame - I have so much work to do today! (because you know, it is all about me)

Eeek, that is a scary Halloween name!

a live birth thread isn't much cop without the person giving birth flame we need news woman (more importantly we need a babygus )

Just logging on to see if there was any news,

YanknHeadsOffCocks - I think all the men on MN have just collectively crossed their legs.

Had to do some work. Have I missed anything? Is she pushing yet?

we have no idea! its all gone queit, must be a good thing though- push flame push!!

UPDATE!!!
She went on the ball a bit but was hindered by lack of sleep!,been dozing on and off on sofa. painful contractions, long, but they're spaced out enough to rest a bit.

Will update later if I've heard more
