Awww inoue I hope something picks up for you

My contractions are still coming but there's no real pattern. We went for a walk around the local park and I was having them every 2.5-3mins but they would only last 30-40secs. Back at the in laws and OH has run me a bath to help with the backache and they've now slowed down to every 5-7mins but lasting around 50secs. The MW told me if I can talk through them then there's no point in going in to her checked as she doubts ill be very far along but they are hurting a lot worse and I think I'd rather just know what's happening, even if I'm still 2cms!

 

[Inoue]

Toilet movement has stopped, phew!!

Lolly, even though your contractions are a little irregular, dont be put off by it. Mine have been ranging from 6 mins to 20 mins plus lasting 35-45 seconds each. Hope you enjoy your bath. When I had my steaming warm shower earlier it stopped all my pains so its normal for yours to calm down a little x

 

[Sarahcake]

Any news at all ladies? I hope you are all good?
Has anyone heard from Pops at all?

[Sarahcake]

Ooo I do have pops on my Facebook Ive just not been looking out on the news feed ! Just saw hers and Lauren's posts! How exciting! I shan't say anymore besides a massive congrats to the both of you, look forward to your posts on here in your own time xxxx

How's it going Inoue? Are you in hospital ATM? Sure I saw your last message say you were 4cms which is counted as active labour here. Got all my fingers and toes crossed that your having a baba as we speak

Time any news at all hun? Hope you are all good and tht you also have a little on on the way! Xxx

 

[Scally]

hey sarah, how r u doing? r u recovery ok? hows logan? x

 

[Inoue]

Yeh im in hospital, been taken from L&D and up to a ward to see if pains get any worse. Lost large piece of plug about an hour ago but even though im quite dilated, they still wont intervene or give me pain relief. Baby is doing well with HB etc so guess I cant be to down if this turns into a false start.

Not heard from Time, sure all is ok and she's having bubba

X

 

[pinkribbon]

just to let you all know, my bump turned on the 5th Nov!

 

[time]

Hey ladies.. Omg can't believe pops has had her baby too! Saw lauryn post on Facebook, what a cutie! Sounds like it for you too inoue!!!! Keep active!

Can't wait to hear stories and see photos!

Unfortunately no baby here..I feel like crying today i feel like my body's not doing what it's meant to.. I'm in agony and nothing comes of it. Dtd lastnight, lost a tiny bit more plug tonight and still contracting but not strong enough. I am so jealous of all you ladies who have your bambinos here and the only person I know who's pregnant is due in 2 weeks and has gone to l and d tonight with strong contractions so this may be her too! I think I'm just hormonal and want baby here and the 100 texts and calls a day asking if she's here don't help sorry guys!! Whinge whinge whinge! X

 

[Inoue]

Hay Time . Im afraid bugger all here for me too so your definitely not alone. Im being kept in purely due to my gbs+. My shit versions of contractions are getting further apart and not lasting as long .

Pissed off that my body isnt doing the correct thing, now it feels like im wasting everyones time xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Congratulations pink ribbon!! Hope you and your little man are well!

Aww it must be so so frustrating and I know no amount of people telling you it's nearly over will make you feel better. There comes a point when you really have just had enough, you ladies are doing so well, I reached that point long before either of you and you've managed to soldier on and just keep going!

For what it's worth, I don't think it will be long at all until we see babies from both of you, keep strong. You may it feel it but your bodies are defo doing what they should be, each one of those contractions will be doing something, no matter how irregular or strong massive hugs to you both xxx

 

[time]

Aww they may pick back up again so don't lose hope!!

I guess labour is just unpredictable and baby really will come when they are ready but I'm just having a bad night tonight and feeling sorry for myself. Only 6 days until induction but this week is dragging and I don't want to be induced so it feels like I'm counting down to worst case scenario anyway!

 

[Inoue]

Thanks Sarah . Your right, one contraction is better than none. Marc is being sent home in 10mins so going at it alone (if they pick up again!).

Time, we all have these thoughts and were dam well entitled to them after all weve been through. Were still here together hun so vent all you like x

 

[pops23]

Ladies! Hey, I did have my baby this morning, the most beautiful little boy, we named him Flynn

Will update will full birth sorry tomorrow but we are over the moon, despite it being a horrendous 30 hour labour

Everything crossed for you time and Inoue xx

 

[Inoue]

Massive congratulations pops . 30 hour labour sounds awful, bloody hope mine isnt thinking of going the same way!

Look forward to your update and thats a gorgeous name x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thank you ladies

Inoue & time I'm sorry you girls are still waiting but you really don't have much longer to wait I hope due dates are funny old things. How did your sweep go inoue? Sorry if you said already, I have some catching up to do.

So I came into hospital just to find out what was going on really, when I got here I was 4cms so they obviously kept me in. Good job really because almost instantly my contractions went 100x worse and I was in absolute agony. Baby was back to back and I have never felt a pain like it it was worse then the actual contractions, I thought my spine was going to snap and I'm not exaggerating! I opted for an epi but the anaesthetist also gave me a spinal for the back pains as the epi wouldn't have helped a lot with those. Things instantly became a million times better!

It all happened pretty quickly, not surprising as my labour with Amber was the same but I was only pushing for 5mins and out she came! Thank you again RLT I decided to stop having my epi topped up for the last bit so I could feel everything and it wa brilliant. Hurt a little but not too bad, and had one little cut inside that required a couple of stitches but that was it. She weighs 7lb 12oz and is the absolute spit of newborn Amber, I'm in love breastfeeding is going well so far too. I've finally got her off to sleep but now I'm just laid here staring at her gorgeous little face

Had to stay overnight due to the epi & spinal but all being well we should be let out tomorrow. We have our own room in postnatal and it is brilliant!
