I would love my waters to break first!!

Depends how soon they go before contractions start, its crap being stuck in limbo.

 

[Kerrieann]

Yeah i was in limbo abit as had about 6 hours untill they started but i think id prefer that to wondering if im in labour or not with just contractions iykwim

 

[Nessicle]

I'd love my waters to go first too!

I'm one of four and mum said her waters went first with all except me!

I was saying earlier that Ava was moving loads but she's not moving as much as usual tonight...she's moving a bit I can feel her feet occasionally and she rolls out her bum occasionally but nowhere near as much as usual...

Lozzy pmsl!!! That's what my OH would be like ha ha!!

 

[lozzy21]

Ness it was comical. First he got poo on his hand so he freaked about that, then as he started to clean her bum she started to pee and as he was trying to catch the pee with her nappy she got poo on her foot I nearly wet my self laughing at him

 

[Nessicle]

OMG I bet you wish you had had a camera to record it!! I can't wait to see OH's first poo nappy change it's gonna be so funny!!

 

[lozzy21]

I wish i had. Thats only his 2nd pooey nappy, the rest have just been wet and hes fine with them

I've been taking EPO for a couple of weeks now as it's supposed to help with the softening of the cervix making it easier to dilate when the time comes and I'm willing to try everything that may make labour easier lol. I'd always been too chicken to put it inside me but decided to brave it tonight and insert ONE and I feel like I'm freaking out lol. Going to try and take my mind off it with a bit of tele but if I'm still thinking about it at 11 im going to fish the bugger out lol. What a wimp

 

[YoungNImum]

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

Funny enough at my last MW appointment They told me baby was lying to the left side, so your prob right about the nerve thing, plus i think i put more weight on my left side than my right when walking.

I would love my waters to break first!!

Im with you on this one, my twin sister had to get her waters broken, i dont think it would be the same as them coming away on its own, plus it makes it feel more real.

 

[Nessicle]

Lol ducky what is it thats making you freak out? The feel of it?

 

[Nessicle]

Yeah with the waters least you know for sure!

Must be a nerve our bubs are laying on then for sure YoungNI (what's your real name btw?) I've brought the paracetamol to bed with me just in case it hurts through the night!

 

[ducky1502]

Just the thought of it being in there lol... it's kind of like sticking a penny up ur nose as a kid I know it won't do any harm and that it's not exactly going to STAY there because it will dissolve but I'm such a wimp.

 

[YoungNImum]

Yeah with the waters least you know for sure!

Must be a nerve our bubs are laying on then for sure YoungNI (what's your real name btw?) I've brought the paracetamol to bed with me just in case it hurts through the night!

I think id enjoy my waters breaking it would let me no baby is making it move to meet the world. Id be able to prepare myself before all the hard work begins.
My name is Courtney


Like stuffin a penny up ur nose love it

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!

Ness you can rent the TENS machines, my midwife said not to spend the money buying one.

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

Charlotte - my sister (also called Charlotte as it happens!) said they had to break her waters with her first and with her second they went so late it was literally 10-15 minutes between her waters going and my neice being born. So although the labours were very different in both her waters were late going.

Oh and she said she drank loads of RLT all the way through her labour with my neice - she was thirsty but didnt want tea or coffee so kept up the RLT - Her pushing stage was about 10 mins!

Mizze xx

 

[YoungNImum]

Well OH has ordered curry so im gonna eat and get ready for bed, ill be busy painting tomoz, so maybe ill come back to more babies, nighty night. x

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Courtney! Enjoy your curry!

Mizze yeah but it costs more to rent than to buy that Lloyds one may as well bu it for that pric and not have the worry of having to return it.

I went to bed at 10.30pm but had to get up my lung space is so squashed I literally cannot catch my breath laying on my left side and I ache like mad from laying on my right - my god I'm so looking forward to pregnancy being over!!

 

[ducky1502]

Hope everything is well with spencerbear and kelly

 

[Nessicle]

Yeah not heard a sausage from Kel bit suppose she's had major surgery and will be smitten with her lil girl

Spencer updated on FB to say she was going inat 8.30pm hope she's all set now!

 

[ducky1502]
