[shock] Boil the kettle! Grab the towels! MamaG just had a SHOW and has BACKACHE and EVERYTHING!

[MamaG]

Bear with me on this one, I've never gone into labour before....it sounds promising, right?

Should I ring DH?

Should I put my (2 hour journey away) childcare on standby?

lol @ peaches now that is MN dedication

anything else happening mamaG?

NOTHING is happening

EVERYTHING has stopped

False alarm I think. GAH GAH GAH

may not be a false alarm...........could just be a break before it all kicks off big time

I hope so - had a nice big baked potato for lunch. Will have pasta for tea, gotta get those carbs in right?!

get tweaking!!!!!!

you sound exactly the same way i did with ds. the day before he was born it was everything all at once and the only thing i wanted to eat were carbs-maybe that's a sign for you as well? the contractions really started up at about 2:30 am and he was born at 4:23 pm so you could be on your way! take a nice looooooong walk to keep things going

I tweaked all the way through the DVD! Sore now so have stopped

Going to waddle into town after collecting DC from school, hoping that will start something, anything

I think that subconsciously I was jealous of expat and that caused the show!

sounds like me. Mine started dsunday night the stopped at midnight till about 6am then kept getting erratic contractions from 10am. HAd Joshua at 3.45pm. So hopefully you will have had baby in next 24 hours. A walk slowed mine down though.

DON'T get in the bath. Mine stopped completely when i did. Some labours are very erratic and contractions don't always get stronger and closer until the very end - dc4 was all over the place until hlf an hr before i delivered.

I haven't actually had any contractions

I'm going ot walk into town with DC, buy a big bag of grapes and eat them all, have curry for tea and sex with DH.

No more nipple twiddling (ouch)!

Well,a a show is a good start - even without contractions something positive is happening.

am jealous of curry and sex!

still bouncing mamaG?

Oh
arse.

You obviosuly provide a very lovely home MG

I went shopping the day I had ds2 and he was born 3 hours later.

darn. i went to sleep and hoped to wait up for news!¬

How exciting! I have been here in spirit all day, gagging to get home to post actually! Kbear informed me of the impending news.

Good luck petal.

did you get the email mamaG
Or having walked into town, did you have the baby in a shop?

if thats the case nmc lets hope she's picked a decent shop that will give her vouchers when her waters break!!!

Thank you for the Expat update MamaG

I have everything crossed for you. I remember the nipple stim, i used to flinch in the end it got so sore.

My last 3 have been late so i expect i will have a similar thread in 10 weeks.

It always amazes me that you can doing such ordinary things and then a few hours (minutes for some of us ) you can be sat there holding your long awaited for baby. It is truely bizzare.

Hope the grapes and walk do something

she's been quiet for a while.......

nmc I didn't get the email! I've left the payee blank on the cheque and addressed the envelope to the name that comes up on your email! Should be fine

Nothing, nada, absolutely sod all happening (and prob won't be postinga gain today, DH home and he does tend to twitch if I'm on Mn too much hehe) so if you don't hear, assume nowt happening

doh!

Good luck.

Good luck.

You need rhubarb. The fruit, not the MNer!
