Due anyday?? come in here...

[Chocomama1]

I'm due on the 17th...2nd baby and so excited. Currently in slow labour so contractions in the evening completely irregular and turning into a disappointing nothing!!!
How are you getting along??

Eeeep. My waters just 'went'. Wow. There's no mistaking that is there
Hope she'll come today and start another run of 3!
Cogito, reebok, waves etc, how are you all doing?

pFE, your baby is coming.

. Hope those in latent /early labour got some rest.

How exciting remembering!!! Not long for you now then

I managed sleep (thank you codeine) and now wide awake and wondering if baby waves will appear this side of my due date....

waves we've been due date buddies throughout - hopefully we can be birth date buddies too. Sending you positive labour vibes

Vibes for a lovely birth being sent back to you as well remembering

I am definitely having contractions still, but not lasting long enough. Avoiding codeine in the hope that proper labour is imminent, and will resort to it only should tonight rock around with the same pain levels...

Great news remembering. Good luck!

I didn't sleep again. Kept up by the awful pain once again. It seems that whenever I think I'm ok and close my eyes, pain kicks in.

How are you doing Tom, Waves, Marushka?

Sorry you are so sore reebok. All fine here, not much going on.
39+6

Really glad you got some sleep waves.

Hopefully soon Tom....40+4 today :(

Keep getting this awful pushing/almost burning pain on my opening every time I go pee. Like something is trying to push out. Does that make sense? It's awful and makes peeing hard as I stupidly feel like I'm going to push my baby into the loo. Anyone else get this? Pls tell me I'm not mad!

reebok talk to the midwife please.

remember how exciting

all the rest of you - it's in the air! sending you more cervix dilating vibes! (I never thought I'd write a sentence like that! )

Not exactly burning while you pee sensation but a sort of heaviness that feels like too much to hold. Ok zing will call later. Thanks.

ok reebok stand up.

now put your hand on top of your belly. does it feel lower down?

now turn sideways in front of a mirror. does your belly look like it's lower down?

I wonder if baby's head has dropped.
you will feel pressure, sort of heavier down below.
is it like that?

Yep...and I get the urge to pee once more the moment I stand although I went 5 mins ago. Top of my bump feels flatter! Makes me feel slightly thinner until I look at the rest of my stomach.

yep, baby's head dropped for sure, the pressure of head causes the pain.
also his/her body may have turned in a way that it now puts pressure on your bladder.

very good my lass! very exciting! yay!

any updates?

[impatient]

Twin that hurts.

Zing is right once again
Thats brill news on the waters!

Blood levels have gone lower to 7.2
Will see what dr says

Hey, nothing new here, baby is really lazy today and moving less which is really worrying me. Should I call the hospital?

of course the moment I posted it she kicked, whew!

phew marushka good baby

but don't forget if baby's facing your spine you won't feel kicks.

although if you are worried always always get checked.

I think reebok is in labour. I hope.

come on babies, it's Friday!
"Friday's child is loving and giving.." - what more do you need?

6 hours in and I'm progressing nicely - contractions every 7-8 mins lasting 45/50 sec. Managing with hypnobirthing breathing and a bit of Geordie grit so far
Hope everyone else is doing ok

No I'm not in labour unfortunately but managed to have a teeny tiny nap. Got slightly more energy now.

Ooh sounds promising remembering!

Aww poor twin! That's very low!!

well done remember!

good you had a nap reebok

Good news remembering and glad the nap gave you energy reebok. My contractions are still a bit erratic but getting stronger. Also using hypnobirthing techniques here, but the distraction of my squabbling DCs and animals is quite helpful too

TMI overload close your eyes if averse to bodily function descriptions, but I have had diarrhoea all morning, definite brownish/red discharge and either my waters have started leaking or I have a combination of thick coloured discharge and trickly discharge Anyway, things are certainly happening "down there".

Off to the birth suite - surges 3-4ins apart an quite intense now

Good luck Remembering! So exciting! (where are my contractions, grrr?!?)
