The berries in the chopper (thread 5). All together now... clench

[CatsCantFlyFast]

For pregnant berries at any stage. Scary thought but this is the one where some babies will appear!

So...tight, painful, squeezy sensation coming in waves. Def not contractions though eh...? x

About every 2 mins?

Can I please predict a Tuesday night/Wednesday delivery for thunderkitten??

You're soooo in early labour

Mine were that frequent thunder, and I could talk through them (ie not as bad as I had been expecting so I wasn't sure I was in established labour). Worth giving the MLU a ring?

Yeah just rang and spoke to mw who was lovely. She says it all sounds great and like early stages. They generally want people to go in when contractions are really regular and mine are a bit all over the shop every few mins

So exciting thunder! Squeeee Thunderkitten's on the way!

O to the MG it looks like the kitten is en route!!!

Thanks for your kind words all

I'm changing my bet to Wednesday

yay thunder - meeting thunderbaby soon then!
Somehow managing to be very excited for other berries, whilst continuing to be in denial that I'm actually going to be joining in

Have had a nice day off so far - lunch with my sister, picked up a couple of parcels of nursing tops and new shoes on way home, now on sofa with magazine and chocolate mini rolls trying to figure out what on earth sized sheets I need to get for this carrycot...

It will be today, 7lb2oz

merk has spoken - and as she's the only one with a bub of her own, she must be right.

Go Thunder! Hope the thunderkitten makes her entrance soon.

(Popcorn, anyone?)

Oh, I will do some of the painting, just can't move/bend/stretch much without bump hurting so will start with doing the cutting in slowly and take it from there. I just quite like to do it all myself. will d bit of reading about the fumes, not too worried though, will have all the windows wide open.

Exciting stuff thunder, all sounding promising

brod sorry you feeling so rubbish - try not to feel bad about feeling rubbish though IYSWIM? I have times where I have not quite felt like myself for a few days and it is rather disconcerting . Hard to shake yourself out of it so try not to put too much pressure on yourself.

Omg another baby, wheeeee!!
Sooooo exciting (especially as it's happening to another Berry - can hardly get my head around there being a wiggler inside me - definitely not ready yet for one to make an exit!)

Phhhbbb merk that's wishful thinking I reckon! Not sure there's been a baby in the thunderclan that's been under 9lb!

Been to mlu and now home again, all fine. Have posted on FB

Ps ouch

Ooh, thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thunder me and hubby were both huge babies but E didn't come close. However suspect I will be wrong on both weight and date, you're gonna be a 2am-er I think. Wish I could do/say something helpful

I'm feeling a bit crappy tonight, not sure if its tiredness/hormones or something else but I'm cold/shaky/weepy etc. I'm worried about getting ill and not being able to look after her

Going to get all of this right: 04.32 26/3/14 8lb6oz and a boy!

It's your hormones merk, that's exactly what I've heard happens a few days after giving birth. Ride it out and look after yourself.

Yeah I reckon it won't be before midnight now (sadly). Hopefully tomorrow though at some point! Still chucking up

ooh another one! how exciting!

positive thoughts thunder I bet baby is here by morning!

im on my ball! with obem! at impressive potential birth speed!

uuuugh. I'm so uncomfortable. my guts are unhappy and baby is kicking like crazy. I really dint want 3 weeks of this! mw appt tomorrow and 37w on Thursday. which means I have to wait til Thursday to get into the mlu, but any time after that um fine with it! still want to be at hone but doubtful it'll happen.

great spelling too

Any thunderbaby yet?!?!?

tally sorry you are feeling crappy!

If we are placing bets - 02:17, 26.03.2014, 8lb2oz & a girl
(not sure if doing this is a bit wrong )

tally hope you manage to get some rest. Don't know if this is helpful but when my IBS/trapped wind has been playing up I have round being on all fours and doing hip circles has helped a bit, just make sure you are near a bit of furniture to get down and back up again!
