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

Sooo exciting!

Egyptians push Mubarak out and Southsea pushing Pebble out! Historic day

I'm in after spending hours catching up with this thread. Hope it's going well all the best!!

Hosni if boy?

Ok, I have to go out now - won't be able to update so maybe galwaygirl :) can take over again but I will probably annoy the heck out of the friend we're meeting by obsessively checking the thread on my iPhone.

Hope you're doing well, Southsea! Not long now! :)

Good to see things are moving along Southsea hope it all continues to go well. We're all rooting for you!

Sea go girl

Good luck Southsea, this thread has kept me going through numerous night feeds in the past couple of weeks (I got in on it late!) I'm actually hoping DS wakes up plenty tonight so I can keep checking in xxx

Dear southsearocks' cervix,
Please do this: . ? o 0 O
Many thanks, Mumsnet!

Jacksmania - so relieved you did not mind my name'change for you , and thank you for updating the stats.

Mr Southsea - glad you joined in the guessing game. Now you will post regularly on behalf of Southsea when there is news, we do like a labour thread with regular little updates!!!! Espeically when we need to switch from dilating to pushing thoughts and then with the great arrival announcement. These are your jobs in addition to supporting and looking after your lovely lady (this is your wife not the nice nurse!!!). Hope the labour is distracting you from your broken bones too!

Southsea - dilating thoughts to you, and wow you are amazing to be posting during labour, especially following pethidine, it is great stuff isn't it!!!!!

Oh it is exciting to have a good labour thread.

I wonder what I should do for the Pebbles patchwork cot quilt, is Winnie the Pooh theme too twee?

Galwaygirl I loved it! Was it a typo or on purpose? :o

Winnie the Pooh is adorable!

Woohoo !! Happy dilating

I missed yesterday (fell asleep after work, that's what I get for being 36 weeks pg) and was so worried I'd have missed all the action!

Anyway, I'm back now Pebble, nice of you to wait for me! (Sorry to mummy though, bet she wishes it was all over now)

Ooooh nooooo, I'm meant to be going out tonight but now I'm going to have to stay in incase there are updates!!!!

You can do it Southsea

Glad to hear things sound like they are on the move Southsea and i hope you manage a 'lucky' 11.2.11 birth. We are all rooting for you and pebble and MrRocks hands

Loving SaggyPuss's 'letter to a cervix'

...and...DILATE!!!!!
I have the ready...but coffee and pretzel sounds scrummy...
Nearly there Southsea!!!!
Kkxx

Keep dilating SOUTHSEA!!!

WOOHOO!!!I reckon SHE will be here by tomorrow morning GMT.

You are doing a great job!

Just take it one contraction at a time.
With each tightening, you are closer to meeting and holding Pebble...

Girl, 5lb 2oz. 3am tomorrow (Saturday)

Go Southsea!
Another lurker here, emerging from the virtual shadows. Just wanted to wish you and DP good luck.
