Ohh Kay! That's exciting! I can't really remember tbh (DD born 4 years ago!) but I'm pretty sure she was moving around while I was in labour still, the other ladies on here will prob be much more useful! :) hope you're okay!

Hope you're holding up ok too Bekah.

Powell your little boy is adorable! X
 
That sounds like good progress, Kay. Even when in labour, I think regular movements are still expected, and it sounds like the contractions are doing their job if you can feel the baby pushing down. At my appointment this week, my midwife said that my baby was head down but wouldn't even comment on how engaged it is as she said that by the third pregnancy the baby can easily move up and down and there's nothing to keep them down there until labour starts and the contractions literally push them down.
 
Ooo kay how r u now ??
Ope they are contractions for...from wat iv read sounds like it ...
I cnt remember with dd either !!! Xx

After all my complaining and doubt I am having some contractions! They are 5-6min apart lasting 40-50 secs and I'm having to concentrate through them. It doesn't help whilst they are going on I can feel baby wiggling and pushing down is this normal? Also is it definitely contractions? Belly going hard and pain is radiating round midriff and into bumcheeks a little. You would think I knew by now! Trying not to get my hopes up though xx

Oh how exciting! I really hope this is it for you :)

When I was getting close to pushing I could feel him moving around I remember even saying to the midwife in between contractions look baby moving about a lot lol I even felt a 'dropping' sort of feeling! Sounds like contractions to me x
 
I've come to bed and they are still happening! Slapped on some clary sage and going to try and get some sleep in the hope I wake in full blown labour although hubby working over an hour away and isn't due to finish for another 5-6hrs so need to keep an eye. They are 4 minutes apart at the moment but not too strong x
 
Oh Kay good luck lovely hope this is it for you!

And Emma progress :thumbup:good luck hope this is the start of something for you too

Cute baby powell xx
 
9 hrs into contractions 4-5min apart but dont seem to be getting any stronger. It's like my first labour all over again lets just hope it doesn't last the 3 days it did with him :-( its currently 3.40am and i can't sleep through them because the next one comes too quick. I hate labouring during the night its so lonely but at least SOMETHING is happening xx
 
Oh my goodness girls I don't know how i've missed all these updates!! :)

Congrats to all the new mums and bubs! They're coming fast now!

Emma - don't worry i'll probably still be around too! I'm due the day before you, sounds like you are making some progress though! Hopefully our little girls don't leave us waiting to much longer! Have you been checked at all?

Kay - I hope this is it for you! Good luck! Can't wait for an update x


AFM - Not a lot happening over here. Had a few episodes of RFM at the beginning of the week and just monitoring that now. I had some cramps all day yesterday, then had some contractions every 5 mins, lasting about 40 seconds for 2 hours then they just stopped! :dohh: I've been losing bits of plug here and there for a week or so, but that's pretty much it.
 
How are u now beckah?

Kay my contractions with ds2 didn't get stronger or closer for hours den stopped for a little, den came back stronger but irregular den escalated quickly!

Afm just had 4 hours of broken sleep, induction in less den 2 hours and my stomach is in knots with the thought of it. Going from terrified to I can do this but mostly terrified! Just praying it's somewhat quick at this stage althought babybfeels lower see not as low as ds2 was I was constantly swollen down there with him for weeks before and he came out reasonably quick. Zillion thoughts and scenarios racing around my head.

I've a midwife friend of a friend who I messages yesterday as I asked zero questions about where to go in hospital and what happens etc... She said they'll break my waters den wait 2 hours to see if contractions start themselves if not start an oxytocin drip.

My stupid fear of pooping is still strong I was esp worried that I would have the natural clear out like when Labour starts itself but thankfully nerves did the job this morning wouldn't say I'm.clear but I'm not full. Been 12hours since I ate and no intention of eating again now till after.

So depending on what happens now after waters break I'll be back or pleasecgod have a big announcement for ye!!
 
So after 11hrs regular contractions that kept me up all night, literally. I've got up and they have completely stopped. I could cry x

Sorry they've stopped, I can imagine how frustrated you must be feeling right now. Try and catch up on some sleep for now and fxd it gets going again soon for you!
 
Oh no, Kay, how frustrating. They may still have helped to move the baby lower so keep at the walking if you can and they get going again for you.

Good luck today, Banana. I can imagine you must be thinking through all the different scenarios, but I'm sure everything will be fine. Once they've broken your waters, I guess you need to spend those two hours letting gravity do its work to see if contractions will get going. My waters were broken during my sweep with DS2 and I started getting uncomfortable twinges about an hour or so later when I arrived at hospital. I then went for a walk and they intensified massively during that walk, so do what you can to stay upright and move around. And if that doesn't work, don't fear the next step. I know loads of people who have had the drip and everything was just fine. Just go with the flow and you'll have your baby in hour arms before you know it.
 
Oh no Kay :-( keep the walking up and up the stairs go shopping watch a sad movie and cry your heart out :hugs:

Good luck banana xx

I'm ok thanks! Monitoring last night went ok with movement but still no answers as to why fluid now cloudy. Looking more likely they'll keep me on the list for Saturday to be induced rather than bringing it forward but will see what the Drs say on their rounds.

I've got everything crossed it goes well for you today and looking forward to your announcement and positive induction story!! :) xx
