Water broken, in America, etc Part II!

[Southsearocks]

Hi! I thought I'd better start a new thread now because it might get busy tomorrow morning and I don't want to lose you all

I didn't know about the limit. I'm still completely humbled that I've had so many well-wishers , so I feel a little self conscious. Although I think we've all been led down this path by the baby somewhat!

Am completely knackered tonight so will say goodnight and will endeavour to keep you posted on happenings tomorrow.

Thanks once again for keeping me company xxx

Altogether now:

Come on cervix.

No pressure, Southsea.

Will I need a hat?

Too formal?

Well done for managing to update us in between contractions, it's great to hear that you're progressing well.

My 9 yr old dd rushed in from school and said "has she had the baby yet"?? It's as if we all know you personally!! But that's the good thing about MN, you get so involved in other people's stories, more so almost than your own friends and family!

Hope you've managed to have a little nap, and feel ready for the next hurdle/ home straight.

Good luck.

Hooray - never has 1.7cm meant so much to so many!

Big respect to Southsea for keeping us all updated whilst in labour!

mmmm coffee and pretzel....

puuuuush!!!

Hmm wondering if coffee and pretzel is the American version of tea and toast... Great to hear things are progressing Southsea, not long now!

Been following you for a while southsea and just wanted to say good luck, how exciting and oooooooh I bet you can't wait to meet your bubba. I'm very very happy for you.

Wow, Southsea, you are a hero for posting whilst in labour!!! I am wishing the hours (and the cm's) away for you. Glad you managed to get some rest, sounds like you still have a way to go yet, but you are on the home stretch. Fingers crossed Pebble gets bored and puts some extra pressure where is it needed!
Big hugs to you and your DP. Hopefully not too long to go xx

sending calming dilating vibes across the sea.

Come on Pebble - there's a lot of people looking firward to you coming :)

I've been lurking on your amazing thread for a long time but have come out of hiding to wish you Good Luck! Hope it all goes smoothly and you have thatlovely baby in your arms soon. x

Oh yes, and here's a massive glass of for you (medicinal purposes )

Posting between contractions? You are a legend .

Good luck xx

thanks for thinking of us all whilst you are in labour. Take care of yourself and keep some pretzels for you for after wards

Ooh, how exciting! Hopefully not long to go now!

Good luck. X

Woo hoo! Things are moving along then! Absolute star lady for posting between contractions!

Hurry up Pebble! :)

Southsea, sending good 'dilating' vibes from Scotland.......thanks so much for keeping us all updated, you really are a star!

Pebble - can't wait to 'meet' you.......you be a good boy/girl for Mummy and Daddy and work hard! xx

You are doing amazingly well! Well done you, can't wait to hear your news!

Good luck x

I'd like to formally offer my incompetent cervix to you for the next few hours - Pebble will be out in no time!! I'm not using it any more as I have my "bionic" "replacement" one these days, so you're quite welcome to it

Glad to hear things are getting going. It's one of the saving graces of hospitals - the drugs!! I've had quite a bit of morphine from both of my cervix surgeries, yay!

Keep on doing what you're doing

Dilating vibes ~~~~~~ ((((()))))

i'm impressed the dr could tell the difference of 0.3 of a centimeter though. whatever happened to 1 - 2 cm?

visualise oopening petals of a beautiful magnolia. and opening doors and stretching things.

and enjoy the pethidine

Wow! An update... You are truly amazing.

Sending you dilating vibes. Deep cleansing breath at the start of each contraction. You can do it!
