Due anyday? Come in here, part three!

[FastWindow]

Well we have filled up the second thread.

If you want support or just a moan.

Everyone is welcome!

Thanks ladies! Just had the pessary inserted so hopefully not much longer cx

Hope all is progressing nicely green

I've been having contractions every ten mins since about 7pm maybe and every half an hour before that. They last about 20 seconds and are now getting a bit sore! I am hoping this is it!

good luck green and twotears!! looking forward to your news.

Come on girls you're on the home stretch!

(she says through jealous, gritted teeth :D)

It will be you soon I promise. Still on the sofa contracting every 10 or so mins while DH sleeps upstairs.
I am knackered and its nowhere near time to go to hospital. Arse.
Where you in America bummy?

I got pessary just after 7pm they put me on monitor and came back 30mins later to see I was contracting and not allowed to go home! Just came to labour ward at 1.30 got epidural and I'm just relaxing, DP is "bored" he thought it was going to be more eventful I'm having an amazing labour so far... Hopefully the rest goes as smoothly

Green, epidurals are the best thing ever invented! I slept through labour with dd and an epidural!

Good luck!

Twotears, try resting between contractions now and practise your breathing with each one. Deep breath in and release gently as the contraction peaks and subsides. Good luck!

Thanks fake got my waters broken, love this epidural although it's making me Sooooooo itchy

Hope everyone else is doing well x

Good luck greengiant!

So exciting! I'm in Maine on an island in the sea.

2am and wide awake as usual. Have some back pain and just threw up so that's encouraging.

Funny both your dps are a bit underwhelmed. Give them a few hours and their panic levels will rise lol.

Fingers crossed for you girls. :)

I have what feels like a stitch going down the right side of my bump yet I've done nothing to get a stitch!! also have a bit of an achy lower back and to top it off I have been really sick about 4 times since yesterday evening (worse this morning). could this be it!??? please be it!!!!!

How exciting, any babies yet?

Storm, I'd say could be but don't want to get your hopes up.

I've had cramping all night (again) and it's getting worse. I've thrown up a couple of times too. Maybe we're going into labour, maybe it this 'practice' bullshit my MW keeps talking about, maybe we have stomach flu lol.

I do know he's turned totally anterior during the night which fucking HURTS but he's dead on to come out.

bummy.....i must be THE grumpiest pregnant woman on the planet right now....i just spoke to my mum on the phone and my dad shouted 'hi darling' from the background.....i replied with a 'whatever'!! rude...yes! could I help it...nope!

I've been really short with my Dad. I feel awful after I've spoken to him. I'll make an effort to be nice next time he rings me.

My grumps have gone (for now). I'm bouncing around the house listening to old skool and cleaning. Poor baby is like "what the hell Mum, you've not been off the sofa in a week, now I'm going to fall out!"

baby boy born 10.25 this mornin. 7 hour labour, two stitches. Boy won't wake to feed tho. Boo.

Congrats TwoTears!

Any names yet? How big was he?

congrats twotears and very well done

Signing in here, think I am allowed? 38+1.

Not sure I will be able to keep up with it though, must be a very fast moving board! Congratulations to TwoTears!

So many cramps and backache, wet but it's not waters (well, I assume it isn't, I have been checking). Generally all a bit grim but hey ho!

Congrats two tears. :D

Helllooo thought id join in if im allowed. 37+4 and babies head is very much engaged!!

Just want to say good luck to you all.
We had a thread like this 4months ago and it helped with the waiting game!

Ug! After all afternoon and evening of cramps then contractions and awful back pain it all stopped.

I swear dh thinks I'm putting it on. :(

Ah bummymummy I was exactly the same as you yesterday. And now nothing. I'm so frustrated! Due date is tomorrow so not overdue yet I suppose. Really thought something was happening though

It's SO frustrating isn't it?!

I'm 10 days over so this is taking the piss now!
