Labour must be close because not only am I absolutely starving, exhausted but unable to sleep let alone well!
But I swear if DP's elbow touches my arm one more time I will throttle him!
I cannot stand anyone near me and nearly everything is driving me mad with misery.
I am also highly emotional.

Come moan with me, please bring warm donuts Grin

Quick update: DD2 (DC3) born last night after less than 4 hours of established labour. All a bit quick, but she is lovely and her big bro and sister are delighted. Now I just need to persuade her to eat and all will be well!
Best of luck to everyone - and I hope the weather has freshened up where you are too, it's lots cooler here.

prolificwillybreeder · 28/06/2011 15:35

Congratulations! So pleased for you! Hope she feeds soon, I'm sure she will :)

Ooh another birth, get the cake out!

Congratulations! I hope she eats soon.

Not jealous at all, no not at all... did someone mention cake?

kalo12 · 28/06/2011 16:43

hurray!

buttonmoon78 · 28/06/2011 16:50

Congratulations! No cake here I'm afraid, but I do have some mars bars if anyone's interested?

prolificwillybreeder · 28/06/2011 17:32

Erm cake... no, no. No cake here!
Can't be that mean, come eat cakey delights with me mumblebum Grin

Got my TENS today! Does anyone know if the pads are universal size wise?

OP posts:
buttonmoon78 · 28/06/2011 17:35

As in if you are fat or thin or do different machines take different sizes? I have no idea, I just couldn't work out the question Wink

I can't use them anyway - I'm allergic to nickel and the pads contain nickel as one of the conductors.

SerenaJoy · 28/06/2011 17:53

Congratulations NightLark! I ate 2 Mr Kipling Almond Slices earlier so I can feel less guilty now that one of them was technically a celebratory birthday cake!

Ooh, wonder who will be next??

Sorry PWB - no idea re the TENS question, can barely work mine.

Darlingdamsel · 28/06/2011 18:50

Congrats Nightlark! Just tell her that eating will grow hair on her chest ... oh no .... maybe not. Something like that!

My back is killing me. Is that a good sign?

prolificwillybreeder · 28/06/2011 19:00

Sorry should of been clearer, as in a universal pad for all machines or is it brand dependant.

prolificwillybreeder · 28/06/2011 19:01

Damsel- yes this is an excellent sign!

Congratulations Nightlark!

Great news.

Now, bit of a show here this am, feeling a bit nauseous and wildly emotional - but where are the darn contractions?

SpannerPants · 28/06/2011 20:43

I've had the runs this afternoon (sorry for the TMI) accompanied by lots of low down cramps and backache, leaky boobs, feeling restless and emotional but that's all so far. I'm veering between being desperate for this baby to make an appearance and wanting to put labour off for as long as possible!

DP is off to the cinema tomorrow to see transformers so I hope I don't go into labour while he's out Shock

SpannerPants · 28/06/2011 20:44

Oh and congrats Nightlark!

tadd · 29/06/2011 09:39

Congratulations Nightlark so pleased for you!
My due date is approaching fast only 4 days left!
I knew there was a reason why i was taking raspberry leaf tablets (before i ran out) rather than the tea..........its disgusting!!
Thankfully its much cooler today, my feet are almost back to normal!

mumblebum · 29/06/2011 09:47

Where do you get raspberry leaf tablets from?

tadd · 29/06/2011 09:57

i got them from a little health food type shop in Richmond (N.YORKS). Thats where Boots sent me when they didn't sell them. So im guessing all health food shops will have them in stock.

mookickkick · 29/06/2011 10:04

Congrats nightlark! And how are you getting on PWB?

I've still got ages Envy. Anyone else super-clumsy these days? Just broke another tea cup...

mumblebum · 29/06/2011 10:11

Thanks tadd. I might look online instead, bit of a trek to get to a health food place from here.

mookickkick I get really clumsy when I'm tired and I'm oh so tired right now...

tadd · 29/06/2011 10:17

no prob!
getting low tummy cramps this morning, wishful thinking perhaps, but ever hopeful!

nicolamumof3 · 29/06/2011 11:14

oooh raspberry leaf tablets, may give them a go!

feel so much better today, its cooled right down now, low twenties, but still bright sunshine so its perfect. Got some housework done, including bathroom and my worst job dusting. Packed ebay parcels and got smallest ds to actually pack away his toys!! Now chiilling to a bit of nick jr, lunch then nursery run. Feel so much more normal today, so taking that means labour def not iminent!

babyonbord · 29/06/2011 11:45

ditto tadd and i've got backache mind you i've been having false starts all week been to the hospital with twice since last tuesday and although they can confirm i am in fact having regular and strong contractions they aren't doing anything and keep going away apparently it's called false labour at the doctors tommorrow tho hopefully to book an inducement (they want to induce me early) i didn't really want one initially but i am f**ing fed up now i actually think the last few weeks of pregnancy are worse than the labour at least when you are in labour you know for a fact you're nearly done.

tadd · 29/06/2011 14:43

i had tummy cramps and twinges all morning, they have buggered off all gone now tho!
I know wat u mean, i just want it to be over now! If this carries on much longer i might turn to the Wine!!
