Debbsy are you about still? (I have left a message on the Nov thread again, don't know if you were just watching this one or not though!)

I am still waiting, but have a rotten cold fluey type bug thing so am pretty pleased he isn't wanting to shift just yet! Hope all is well at your end? >

as it is, I don't think there is much you can do to "bring it on". It will start when ready, try to rest, you are going to need your strength.
ohhhh so exciting, best of luck, will be watching the announcements.

DebbsyandBibby · 26/11/2006 18:47

DebbsyandBibby · 29/11/2006 09:07

been having regular contractions sinc 1am down to 7 mins now waters have gone pretty sure as had 5 wees in an hour all clear water and 3 that i couldnt stop.Pain got that bad couldnt even post on here thats why this is so late,spoke to hospital had tens machine on wait till 5 mins apart lasting for 40 secs.
contractions from 4am were like this
4.29
4.33
4.44
5.03
5.07
5.26
5.36
5.41
5.46
5.51
6.05
then 9 mins lasting 33seconds
then 6 mins 48 secs
then 6 mins 43 secs
then nothing for 1 hr 38 mins
now just got period type pains seeing mw at ten had no sleep feeling knackered
So now what surely if this was labour the contractions wouldnt have stopped?

lulumama · 29/11/2006 09:25

it all sounds promising..esp if your waters have gone...the midwife can check you out....you need to try and rest, reserve your energy as baby won;t be long......! a lot of women have pre labour ..lots of pains, 'is this it?' , and it takes a few days to really get going...all the contractions you have had will have done something....started to dilate and thin the cervix hopefully..so don;t feel it is for nothing..it all helps ! rest and let us know what the midwife says. x

Piffle · 29/11/2006 09:30

debbsy sounds like def pre labour, wait until they get dead regular and last for longer
since knowing you on the TTC threads I am SOOO excited for you honey pie.

DebbsyandBibby · 29/11/2006 09:36
