Franny - that is definitely a show to me, DD1's was like a blob of clear jelly with a tiny pink tinge, DD2's was just clear. I think you are well on your way my dear. The lying down thing is a good one whenever I have BHs I lie down they do away, if it were the real thing they wouldn't go away.

Two paracetamol and a bath yeah it helps when you have had 3 contractions in 10 minutes and feel like you are being split in 2. Two paracetamol don't even help a half decent headache FFS.

It'd better start today, My mystic powers said it would!

Bollocks, DP was going to post on Dadsnet so he had a name all geared up and what do I do?
Post his first post myself

fryalot · 13/07/2008 19:15

but what a pleasant name, VS

FrannyandZooey · 13/07/2008 19:36

well whether paracetamol and heat helped or just it has passed, it is better now, anyway

thanks all again, it is so dull and tedious but hard to think of anything else when you are at home on your own

I am glad to hear your fanjo is now at ease.

MamaG · 13/07/2008 19:42

course its hard to think of anything else when you're alone, I obsessed about my overdueness as DH worked every night until 11.30

AND I didn't have MN

sweetkitty · 13/07/2008 20:23

Glad your fanjo is feeling better F&Z

I even bounced for 5 mins on the DDs trampoline this afternoon, felt like my insides were going to fall through my fanjo and had to get off for the toilet but still nothing!

lulumama · 13/07/2008 20:25

ButterflyMcQueen · 13/07/2008 21:36

sweetkitty · 13/07/2008 21:44

I did walking today well a little bit, pelvis killing me had to take painkiller but no baby.

Does anyone else have loads of discharge downstairs and keep thinking it's a show so check their pants every hour or is it just me?

FabioTheLiterateCat · 13/07/2008 21:51

I thought I had made a prediction somewhere about who would go into labour when, and now I can't find it.

I had hatrick down for tonight, and Franny for Tuesday.

sweetkitty · 13/07/2008 21:54

Does anyone else feel BHs should just f* right off unless they are proper contractions? I am so fed up with BHs.

ButterflyMcQueen · 13/07/2008 22:05

any one being induced tomorrow??

ButterflyMcQueen · 13/07/2008 22:08

nope?

AggiePanther · 13/07/2008 22:12

SK - am with you on the knicker checking and fed up with BHs too ...sometimes they're properly strong and come in waves so I think 'eh up here we go...' then sod all

I've decided that this baby is staying put cos dp and I haven't agreed on a middle name yet so I've got him surfing baby name sites now (dp that is).

AggiePanther · 13/07/2008 22:13

nope not me BMcQ ...you?

ButterflyMcQueen · 13/07/2008 22:14

yes just me then

AggiePanther · 13/07/2008 22:19

Ooh exciting ...that's quick isn't it ...weren't you due same as me..last wednesday? (I can't remember if you said on the July thread if there was a reason)

Good luck!!!

sweetkitty · 13/07/2008 22:24

butterfly - I have got until NEXT Tuesday before I am to be induced, thats like forever.

aggiepanther - snap we still don't have a middle name for this one either, well I do DP not sure but cannot come up with an alternative.

FrannyandZooey · 13/07/2008 22:27

mine is not a medical reason but an emotional one..

sounds odd but we did not want it born later in the month and when we explained why they obliged - very kind but scary!

ButterflyMcQueen · 13/07/2008 22:34
