wow tjw this is sounding like its it for u and harrison is on his way. id get ready to go and give the hospital a call.

my pains havent come back so im going to use my free time today to sort out my house ready for labour when it starts lol

 

[ProudMommy26]

been another hour and they have evened to approx 4mins apart approx 2mins long, still gradually getting stronger. am now giving Ruby her travelsickness meds just in case, as she needs to have it at least an hour before travelling and it lasts for 5 hrs so if we need to go hosp within next 6hrs she'll be covered for the travel

have also called my mum as she's designated driver lol. she'll take us to hosp drop us off and then come home with Ruby and pick Meg up after school etc

Try having a lie down (if you can) lie on your left side and drink some water. If you're still having the contractions, I'd get yourself ready to go up. That's how I knew if they was real contractions or not. Can't wait to see if you're in labour!!!!!

Thanks hon

Have so far: laid on left side, drunk water, eaten icecubes, drank tea, had a bath, emptied both bladder and bowels, and paced around the room, stretched etc and the only variation I've had was the contraction after emptying my bladder and bowels was 8m 43s after the previous one, but the following one and all since back to around 4mins apart. Although now on the 3min fifty somethings apart now.

EEK!! Sounds like you need to get yourself into hospital. I really hope this is it for you.

They don't have to be strong hun. With my second, I was eating, talking and playing on my Gameboy when it was happening. Didn't start getting bad till I was 5 cms dilated. I'd phone them up just for some advice, but you know your body. All the best hun and keep us updated!!

i spent early labour with zane on BnB chat hahaha altho my early labour didnt really kick in

 

[AuntBug]

Wow, good lick tjw! Sounds like this might be it

Hi all. Well, it's been ages since I checked-in on here, so much to catch up on!! & looks like we might have a baby on the way, how exciting!!

I don't really have too much to report...

Had 36 week midwife appointment yesterday, head is down but not engaged, and bump is measuring 35cm. Iron is up to 10.7 which is better, but still a bit low. No braxton hicks yet.

Nursery is almost finished, just need to put some pictures on the wall & make some curtains - my task for next week. All his clothes are washed, just need to sort them out & put them away.

Still can't get motivated to pack my hospital bag, which is odd, as I'm usually such an organised person!

Last day at work tomorrow before maternity leave, yay!

 

[tjw]

Thank you ladies, left it a bit longer than planned as decided to eat the rest of all 4 trays of my icecubes and pace the who bungalow. Contractions are still happening but haven't timed them while doing this so now going to time the next three contractions and then phone them as they are getting stronger and every now and then I get stopped in my tracks for a few moments as they peak lol OMG it's so exciting but scary at the same time. Will let you know what they say once I've phoned them

 

[eandc123]

OH MY GOD!!!!! TJW I'm so excited for you! I just burst into tears Stoopid hormones.

I have everything crossed for you

Good luck and all that

 

[tjw]

Have just phoned them and am waiting for them to call back with advice on whether to go in or stay home longer etc.

 

[tjw]

They've said to go in Will update on fb now and again when I know what's happening once hospital internet is on

 

[moomin_troll]

[CharlieKeys]

[Kylarsmom]

I'm hurting so much I can barely walk today. I'm really nervous too bc if Kendon comes today, daddy is working 3 hours away today... UGH OH...

 

[moomin_troll]

im having a DIY day today lol and then ive got to sort out zanes playroom.....god help me hahaha

 

[sam76]

Hello ladies how we all doing, well not long to go now, this time in 2 weeks i would of had my pre op for my section, getting excited but nervous too, feel really tired & lots of pressure, it doesnt help that my little boy is breech, my ribs are really sore, im so ready for it to be over, plus running around after a 21 month too!! well i hope everyone is well and hopefully resting

 

[moomin_troll]

this is why im glad i didnt have baby 2 when zane was younger because now hes alot more independant and will go off and do his own thing while im sat on my ass hahaha

im having 1 week of running around like a nutter and sorting house getting last bits of DIY done and then i can do nothing but rest lol altho the more active u are the better it is to get baby in a good position. im so unfit its driving me nuts.

cant wait to get back into shape after ive had corey so i can keep up with 2 boys

 

[Mark&Annie]

Wwwoooooo exciting tjw!!! See you on the flip side!!!

 

[jennthompson]

I have been watching for days to see who will be the first to go into labor, everyone is showing so many signs! Good luck tjw

As for me, all I can say is yuck. Woke up so nauseated after a night of up and down to the bathroom. Sitting here fighting the urge to go be sick . At least I don't have to go anywhere today since the heat index is 105. 3 days until I'm 37 wks, than I am ready to have LO make an appearance, even tho I highly doubt that will happen lol.
