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

Good Luck

Another lurker - clearly one of hundreds! - wishing you well today

Lurker me joining in - sending the best wishes, hoping all is well
Good Luck!!

Hi Southsea, hope all goes well today, I was following on your last thread and I can't beleive that this one is already up to 6 pages!

You and Pebble are very popular! Good Luck!

Can someone help me out- is Southsea getting induced or is she having a section?

Thinking of you Ss- very excited for you to meet pebble. Hope she/he has those lovely furry ears....

De-lurking for the big day!

Best of luck! Hope all goes well.

The plan was induction. So we probably will have a while to wait for news!

Good luck today southsea!

Thanks Allyfe.

good luck for today ss :)

I think pebble is a girl! Not long now, all the best southsea

Funny that Liz...I think Pebble is a girld too. How about 'Pebble and Cormac sitting up a tree K I S S I N G' Not that I'm get ahead of myself or anything

Good luck Southsea from another lurker!

I think we should start a new self-help group 'Lurkers Anonymous'!

Good luck!!

Marking my place - thanks for the new thread, Southsea, and good luck for today!

Wish I'd known about Mumsnet 2.5 years ago - the support on here has been fantastic for you!!

Marking place :)

Lurking.... :)

Hurry up Pebble!

It's all so exciting :) Not long now till we have a new little MN'er Come on Pebble - Aunty Chippy wants a (virtual) cuddle!! :)

Marking my place on the shiny new thread! Good luck southsea!

Any minute now things could be starting... Come on Pebble! You can do it Southsea!

You've really made me laugh this morning, I love the wit on MN . I was shocked at how many posts there are!! I only started the thread last night!

Saw doc this am. Still busy on the ward so they are looking to start me off this afternoon/this evening providing things don't get hectic again. I feel like I'm stringing you along, sorry . But I promise to keep you updated whatever is happening, it's the least I can do (no pressure people! ) The plan is to insert Cervidil to thin the cervix and leave it in overnight, then check the cervix tomorrow. Either they will repeat Cervidil for another 12 hours or will start the IV with Pitocin, which will start contractions. So we could still be here for some time I'm afraid! They did tell me it could take several days due to being a bit premature.

I had a nice surprise last night. One of the night nurses popped in and gave me a gift bag with some booties, a toy and a big blanket she has knitted for the baby! Honestly, what an amazing bunch they are at Riddle hospital. Everyone from the nurses, doctors, housekeeping, catering, blood ladies..... they've been instrumental in making this a better and more relaxed experience for me and DP. I feel so cared for. I think it's really helped with home sickness too. I don't know how I'm going to be able to thank them enough.

Ah well, another day of doing nothing then. I feel ok, and quite hungry, and then my stomach will lurch with nerves. Once DP gets here I'll be ok.

I'll let you know what happens later today! X
