Hope it goes well Arti!! X

The boys are very excited about their holiday. I think XSIL is going to hire a 7 seater and XMIL is taking her car so she can do other stuff.

Induction underway. Eeeek! Feeling v scared but my midwife today is really lovely and she already has all sorts of drugs lined up for me so now all I need is some contractions.

Woohoo! Go Arti!

ShadyLadyT · 13/05/2013 13:47

BEST OF BRITISH, ARTI! Hope it goes super smoothly. My SIL speaks fondly of her inductions - hope it's the same for you. Much love from LadyT and all the Gs xxxxx

Nolda · 13/05/2013 14:47

Good luck, Arti!

Artichook · 13/05/2013 15:36

Three hours in and I'm getting some mild contractions but nothing huge. They felt a lot worse when I was walking around but I am right in the centre of town so walking around feels very public and I've retreated back to my cubicle. DH just beat me at three different card games which isn't really fair as surely if I should ever be allowed to win its now.

beans37 · 13/05/2013 16:55

Ooh ooh, so exciting! What a treat to have a new nipper joining us! Hurrah!

Wow, 5 years! How lovely. That's such a lovely stat. Was going to whinge about how tired I am after DD1's sleepless night, but I'm not going through labour, so don't feel I can complain at all! Look forward to hearing any news, Arti xx

Artichook · 13/05/2013 16:57

Just scared a lot of people in various shops as was sent out for a walk but am contracting every four mins. Contractions pretty regular but v short. Much, much less painful when I sit down so midwife trying to keep me up.

Indith · 13/05/2013 17:02

That's great Arti, sounds like you are doing fabulously.

JamInMyWellies · 13/05/2013 17:15

Well done arti.

McKayz · 13/05/2013 17:15

You are doing brilliantly Arti!

beans37 · 13/05/2013 17:45

Whoop whoop! Xx

DeidreBarlow · 13/05/2013 18:03

Yay go Arti!! X

JamInMyWellies · 13/05/2013 18:34

Are we doing a sweepstake on time of birth? I am going for 10.56pm.

ShadyLadyT · 13/05/2013 18:36

Also with every contraction think you never have to go through this again and you are getting closer to your lovely new babe...xxx

ZuleikaJambiere · 13/05/2013 18:45

Go Arti, keep walking and keep those contractions coming! I'm going to say sooner Jam, 914pm is my bet

JamInMyWellies · 13/05/2013 18:46

Of course also what Lady T said Grin.

But times anyone? Wink

Artichook · 13/05/2013 19:05

I think you are all being a tad optimistic, contractions still the same, no longer or more painful although they are regular. I say 3am and 9lbs 8oz.

beans37 · 13/05/2013 19:22

Yes, I reckon 14th May, around 2.45am!
