hopefully in the next 24 hours! DH is insistent it is coming at 20.12 tomorrow - that seems an awfully long time away to me.

Oh yes that does help, thanks Xmas Grin

How are you getting on now?

Izzyschangelingisarriving · 22/12/2012 12:31

Had about 5 sharp contractions then my waters broke - just now - so things are moving along I guess - DH just ringing midwife again.

OP posts:
Izzyschangelingisarriving · 22/12/2012 12:32

But they've stopped again - which I believe is common when waters break.

I've never had a live labour thread before

Oooh, good luck. Once waters go, it won't be long one way or another. Sending you lots of productive but not too painful labour vibes.

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 22/12/2012 12:55
