Your counciler is right with that Mizze, if you think its going to hurt, it will hurt! Another thing that helped was listaning to the banter between my mam and OH, even if i dident listen to the conversation it was a distraction to listen to them.

Worse case senario and you do need inducing at least they can break your waters straight away and you dont need to mess about with the pessarys

 

[Kerrieann]

Ooh really i didnt know that?? so they would do waters first? what would happen after that, do you know?

They would break your waters and then give x amount of time for your contractions to start on there own like if you went into labour on your own. If nothing happend in the time frame they gave they would put you on a drip to bring on your contractions. Well thats what they told me when they talked through the induction process when my waters went.

 

[Kerrieann]

ok thanks lozzy, feel bit better baout it all knowing that now

 

[Nessicle]

YoungNI yeah that's the pain I'm having - Ava is laud on my left side so that would make sense wouldnt it if her head was pressing on a nerve!

Kerrie that would be better hey but fx he shifts his lil bum before then!

Lozzy I ordered some nipple shields after your recommendation they should be here tomorra!

I just read that mild flu like symptoms can be a sign labour is on it's way I've been feeling fluey for a few days now....not reading much into it but hey if it's a sign I'll take it ha

Wow Minch your bump is so neat and small! I bet you're not suffering all the aches and pains we with huge bumps are! Can't believe I wanted a big bump

thx! yepp, can't complain. had the bad first trimester and since then it's been quite okay. i get the shooting pains in my foof, but that's not bump related. during the night i get a little achy, but on a scale from 1-100 it's probably just like a 5 or so and it's only because i lie in the same position on one side for too long. i'm usually quite the toss & turner in bed.

can't believe i assembled the baby crib all by myself on saturday either. even the part where it said "2 people needed"... well, i am 2 people, right!? was a little out of breath, but i know for sure that with a bigger bump i could have not done it.

just being on my feet for several hours at the same time at work is now FINALLY starting to get to me. after 6 hours i feel like after a 14h shift only 5 weeks ago, but baby is definitely bigger now, so i guess that's why..

 

[lozzy21]

No probs kerrie, hopefully you wont need it! Looking promising if your 3cm and starting to thin out.

 

[Nessicle]

Just seen an ad for a TENS machine from Lloyds pharmacy for £30 if anyone was interested in buying one, I think I might buy one online tomorrow for the early labour stage before I get to hospital. If I don't get it before I go into labour I can sell it on here!

 

[lozzy21]

My biggest clue something was going to happen was the fact that i had such a good nights sleep, i only woke to pee twice.

 

[Nessicle]

Minch I think regardless of how big you are your legs and get would ache being stood on them so long! Yore such a trooper!!

Ha ha your body was saving it's energy!!

 

[Kerrieann]

Lozzy i had that the night before i had Jake, i had a week of waking to contractions everynight and then one night i had nothiung and only got up once to wee and the next time i got up at about 8.30am i stood up out of bed and waters gushed everywhere!! Completely unexpected!

 

[cho]

Do peoples labours usually go the same like regarding waters, i had contractions first then waters went later, Do you think that will be the case this time??
i have real pressure tonight feel like he is trying to come out
Me and Dean just decided to do a food shop cos we are picking Bradley back up tomorrow and cos i feel a bit crampy and have loads of pressure i decided to want to walk around asda lol, but we got in the car and it was sooo cold that we ran back in, so i am back home snug again lol

 

[lozzy21]

OH is freeking out cos hes got poo on his hand.

 

[Kerrieann]

so funny!!!

charlotte from what ive heard and seen every labour is different, although id love mine to start off the same again! My sisters 1st was contractions forst and her waters broke when she was quiet far along and second time she woke to them braking like i did, although i have read that only 11-15% of labours start with the waters breaking first.

 

[cho]

I would love my waters to break first!!
