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

woah girl tomorrow and i reckon 3lb 6oz

Anyone else wondering what will happen first - run out of space on this thread or Pebbles arrives?

Dilate 234, push 234 (had CS myself so actually no idea how it goes) just about to take my wee one to bed and wanted to get in on the action - would say I'm waiting with bated breath but would have expired by now - keep your heart up we are all with you - new eta poss 11.45pm either uk or usa time (hedging bets) and am raising a as I write x Jemima Pebbles rocks

Wow updating between contractions, am v impressed. I hope things are progressing well, its so exciting :) sending lots of dilating vibes your way

Ooh fabby to see things are moving on. It won't be long now.

oooo...have just discovered we have a emoticon...probably better for us all if we stick to rather than while we wait - otherwise all of Pebbles online-godmothers will be pished!!!

All the best Southsea!!

You've been on such a journey already. This is one amazing birth story

Good luck southsea will sit and wait with all the other MN aunties with my

Ooh I don't even like but that is so cute. And much better than all those mad waving things you get on other sites.

Eglu - if you don't like tea or coffee you can have a hot chocolate in yours
(or just top up the cup with a while no ones looking!)

Great to hear from you, and that the nurses are taking good care of you.

Will be thinking of you in the coming hours.

Go Southsea!

Ooh yes hot chocolate! I'll have that

DH just asked me "did that woman in America have her baby yet?" Sent me rushing to the pc to check!!

Good to hear labour is established, hope you're OK.

Ahhhh! Another lurker emerges from the lurker-gloom!
Go SouthSea! Trust your body, I give it half an hour now, and I reckon it's a big-ish (41b 10oz) boy. Name to be decided!
(folds arms in matronly fashion and settles down to hear news..)

Oh, we have , I love it! Ok, since galwaygirl seems to have abandoned me, I will go back through and add late bettors.

wow what an amazing journey, we're all waiting too, asked my 6 mth old dd to guess the sex by making noises lol!! We think a boy 41b 4 ounces between 6 and 7 am uk time.

Keep going southsea you are amazing.

I haven't a clue how much the baby might weigh now. I'm guessing at least 4lbs and my tum is much rounder than it was when the last estimate was done, which was 3lb 1oz, 3 weeks ago?

Sorry all, I've left off the summary because the thought of looking through the votes and figuring out most popular weight is doing my head in.

I'd like to change too please as they didn't induce South till much later.

So I'll keep to Boy, 3lb 12oz, arriving 3am our time :) Thanks!!

Oh FFS!! What do you people think, I have all the time in the world to MN while JB is napping to update??

:o

Stop with all the guessing you lot. I keep peeking at the thread in 'threads you are watching' seeing things like girl born 2.40 pm 3lbs 4oz and thinking it is a birth announcement until I click into thread.

Hang in there southsearocks and diiiiiiilate

DONE. SOMEONE ELSE'S TURN. I nominate ChippingIn :o

Ugh waiting for induced baby is hell! The pessary, then the drip that makes it go from 0 - 60 in about 5mins! All so worth it in the end

Looking forward to having Pebble on MN!

Meant Jemima pebbles ( blush ), have finished off a bottle of wine for you and a whole pack of prawn crackers and chilli dip, thought the heat of the chilli might help, x

Good luck
