I am in early labour apparently, and its slow going

[misdee]

[yawns]

baby is fully engaged now. in prime position for giving birth.

am having little contractions, not strong enough to get things moving, but enough to keep the little one in position. am hoping she stays where she is, and decides to get a move on pretty darned quick, and isnt just hanmging around there for one evening only.

have to go to drop in clinic tomorrow to drop off wee sample if nothing happens overnight.

what can i do (if anything) to move things along?

cos i'm feeling fed up with it now. this has been going on and off for two weeks now.

another epic November prolonged labour misdee? We're not having an easy time of things are we?

Hope things get going for you soon and that all these little contractions are actually doing some good inside

C'mon baby dee....your milk and cardis are waiting

lol daisey, i hope so! have decided jyust to keep going today and get stuff done, as restin g and relaxing wasnt helping things along much. who knows,, maybe once i put the nappies and clothes away in the babys room tonight she'll make an appearence lol.

Any news?

12 hours after I put the moses basket in our bedroom, ds2 was born. So you never know ....

had a show yesterday. nothing else.

am off out soon bedroom is almost finished, so maybe tonight lol.

Oh good luck misdee.
I hope everything goes swimmingly for you and babe!
Full moon's coming I reckon they pop out at the full moon more often than not. (Thunderstorms also). Moon phase

Uphill walking - did me good to get some contractions going. Am 39 weeks and have been having the same niggles as you since 37.5 weeks - getting seriously p'd off now! Am on the raspberry leaf tea (yuk) but although it gets baby going - does nothing for the contractions!

Found the birthing ball helps to get some more niggles but other than that i'm stumped.

My midwife told me at 37 weeks that i would be in established labour in a couple of days (my contractions were that frequent and strong) - im now 39 weeks!!! ARGH! Getting sick of it all!

Clarysage - not heard of that. Might ask the local herbalist 2morro if there is anything i can take to get it going!

Misdee's DD4 was born on Thursday 13th after a quick labour

Great news!
