I could of had that too but because of the way I was induced last time they chose this way... No idea what difference it makes Grin

Hope you are not waiting too long for it to start Ducky.

What do the stork things do again 21?

Started having some contractions but then tey stopped, they have started again now and were pretty strong.

They seem to start and stop so will see what they say when they examine me at 6. I hate internals Confused

When she first put the pessary in she did say my cervix was slightly open so let's hope it's enough to break my waters now Smile

LuluJakey1 · 06/12/2014 22:27

He'll arrive soon Ducky. Try and get some rest. Will check in again in the morning. Have been thinking of you and hoping it is all going well x

Cupcake92 · 06/12/2014 22:28

How are u doing Lulu? Hope u are well too.

LuluJakey1 · 06/12/2014 22:48

I am OK Cupcake and so is the baby. Am just so struggling with my feelings for DH. Don't know what is happening really. I have moved into the spare room and just don't want to be with him. I don't undestand what is happening to me. He was upset and then angry and now he is just really hurt.

I talked to the midwife and she said it is not that unusual to feel very much about you and the baby and exclude your partner but thinks I am really tired and should start my maternity leave and try to relax and accept I can't do everything. But work is my only break at the moment and it's a bit of normality.

I am being awful, I know. He should be so happy and he is so miserable. He has gone down to PIL today until tomorrow. I am so happy by myself in the house because. I know no one is going to be trying to get me to talk about it. I have been coming home from work late, having a sandwich and a bath and going to bed. I don't want to be hugged or touched or anything- just. left alone and not talk about it.

Do you think it will wear off? We have been very happy together but not at the moment.

Cupcake92 · 06/12/2014 23:00

I beliveve it will wear off Lulu. I felt like that with my DH when pg with DS. Hated him touching me and my belly and eugh just wanted everyone to go away and let me have peace alone! As soon as Ds was worn we were so in love again! And I felt 'normal'
U need to relax Lulu and just focus on u and baby. But honestly it'll pass, but relaxation is a key thing, try not to put any stress on urself or u'll feel worse. Don't worry Lulu Flowers

LuluJakey1 · 06/12/2014 23:21

He was crying this morning when he left. I could see him from upstairs after he got in his car. I felt bad but I just wanted him to drive off and leave me alone.
I wish my mum was here for me to talk to. She is the only person I want at the moment. I'd give anything to be able to go across to her house and spend a few hours with her again.
Anyway, I am ok. I am sleeping reasonably well and have been for a long walk today and bumped into a friend and we had a coffee in the village. I have put 5 bulbs into lights in the kitchen - turned out two just needed tightening up.
Am going to have a bath and shave my legs then go to bed.

Just a quickie, contractions were coming every 2 mins but I was stuck at 2cm Hmm contractions have since completely stopped but I was exhausted so have left anything else until the morning. Bit fed up and anxiousSad

Big hugs Lulu Flowers wish I was able to come and have tea and cake with u and cheer u up. It'll be okayy tho u'll be urself again soon Flowers

Poor u ducky!! Sounds just like my labour! Then my water was broke but then I got stuck at 4cm. Hope this have progressed by now! Hang on in there!! :)

Bearsinmotion · 07/12/2014 07:14

Was hoping to check in and find a duckling had arrived! It sounds very like what happened with my DD - she didn't want to come out, took the drip to get her moving but she got there in the end!

Lulu, I do understand how you feel, but it's so hard to know what's real and what's hormonal. I hope it works out soon x

Cupcake92 · 07/12/2014 07:21

I'm so excited to hear about a baby! Weird but last night I thought, "I'd love to be where Ducky is right now" but I'm sure if I was, I'd be begging for it to be over Grin

Well AF due today but no signs of her. Have a bad aching back right at the bottom of it since last night. And my boobs are weird had a weird shooting pain through them last night :s going to test tomorrow if AF is a no show and if it's bfn will wait and test at end of the week.

Apparently the machine is showing contractions but quite small ones about every 10 mins. They said they are going to try and break my waters. I'm so scared cus I'm so sore from all the examinations and stuff

Eeeee hope you get your BFP cupcake Smile

Would you have an epidural ducky? I think that really helped me before the drip. The exams and sweep and drip were really painful!

Cupcake92 · 07/12/2014 08:17

I bet u any money as soon as it waters are broken ull dilate and baby will be born today! :) good luck Ducky! Ur doing well!
And yes I hope I get it too but i just hawe a feeling I wont! :(

Bears I loved the epi!!!! Did help a lot with the drip :)
