Jo sounds very promising, give the maternity unit or midwife a call. Certainly sounds as if little lady is on her way. Good luck hope this is it for you.

The one night I could do with a decent nights sleep and Phoebe decides it's playtime. Been up an hour already and she shows no signs of going back to sleep or even being tired.

Phoebe go to sleep for Mummy!
Cant wait to come on later today to see if we gonna have some babies, all the best for you Jo and Tracy and Mrs Phez

 

[mum2be2011]

Can you not sleep either susie? Phoebe is still wide awake and when you tell her it's bedtime she looks you straight in the face, shakes her head at you and laughs. Luke bless him has got up now to help as well. She more often than not will settle for him as she is a right daddies girl. Luke is in phoebe's room trying to settle her and I asked him if he wants a hand and he told me to go back to bed and try to sleep. He's such a good bloke and I'm so lucky that he is so hands on. He has to work tomorrow as well so I'm feeling very guilty about him being up. It's gone all quiet now so here's hoping she has finally settled for daddy. Little minx I've been up since 3 with her and she wouldn't settle, typical really she settles for Luke within 15 mins.

Fingers crossed Tracy, Jo and mrs phez. Sending lots of positive labour vibes to you. Hope this is it for all 3 of you

I hope Tracy and mrsphez getting on better than me. Managed an hours sleep then woke up with a contraction but nothing now for 15 mins, they were every 15 mins before so don't look good for labour. Hope it's not going to be like this every night now, that's 3rd night of dodgy tummy and it's getting progressively worse! Teach me not to speak too soon x

 

[mum2be2011]

Oh Jo I thought this was it for you. These babies are just being naughty now

Seems wrong in a way to say this but happy due date. Hope little lady stops messing you about and makes an appearance soon.

 

[jojo-m]

Thanks Rachael, did you get pheobe to go back to sleep? any sign your LO going to make an appearance? Its weird this time, I never had any false alarms with my labour last time, it all happened straight away. Still have lots of pressure in my bottom, and have constantly crampy feeling but contractions have stopped, boo, should have done that hours ago might have got some sleep x

 

[Disneydancr]

Ouch. Had two really painful contractions 9 mins apart, had a couple of clear-outs and there was a pinkish tinge when I wiped when I last went to the loo. Do I need to phone someone about the blood or is this just the 'show'?

Sounds like just the very beginning. Have you had a cervical check or DTD lately, as that can also cause the streaks?

Must be one of them nights! Can't settle in bed, not sure if having contractions or just lots of BH so I'm getting up and going on my birth ball. Been to loo couple of times now but have done last 2 nights.

Hun you can expect show to have streaks of blood that's great! X

BH and labor felt the same for me, believe it or not... but that's just me. I think BH with period pains is a good way to describe it, but the period pains get a little worse during the BH contractions and subsides (though not always fully) in between contractions. Good luck... sounds promising!

 

[Fraggles]

Jo get doing the deed and bouncing on ball, it does sound like the start.

 

[LittleMrs]

Hi ladies. I've been in hospital all night because been having contractions and had some spotting. Apparently everything is fine. Was 3cm dialated at about 3 this morn and been having regular contraction but they've said while I can cope I can be at home. To be honest they hurt like hell but I wanna be at home so Adam can get some sleep and I can try to. Any suggestions for dulling the pain enough for a couple of hours kip?

 

[mum2be2011]

Oooh sounds promising Tracy, fingers crossed for you. Have you tried paracetamol or even co-codamol they were handing them out like sweets on triage yesterday. It might take the edge off so you can get some sleep.

Jo - Luke managed to settle her back down just after 5, she was wide awake by 7 so she has gone into nursery early today so I can get some sleep as I'm shattered. I say early she was in for 8:30 we normally get her in between 8:45 and 9. I'm with you on the it's different this time, we didn't have any of this last time either. Had leaking waters once I was overdue but that's it.

Hoping the hospital phone us first thing with a time for the scan. I'm desperate to see Hayley again and if her waters are low i will have her in my arms this time tomorrow.

 

[beccybobeccy]

Oooh sounds like we could have a wave of babies today and tomorrow!
Good luck all of you!!
COME ON BABIES!!

I feel like I'm the only one without a baby and not in labour?!!

Meeting the NCT mums today, and 2 have had their babies already so will be getting some newborn cuddles later!

 

[sar35]

Its a shame we all live so far apart, we could of all met up!

 

[millward329]

Ooh still all very exciting. Happy EDD Jo, I'm sure these signs mean it will all happen very soon for you x

Rachael I have been sleeping a bit better except for waking every two hours to pee again now bump is firmly nestled in the pelvis. I don't mind really but took a while to go off thinking about how to arrange access for the Dad. All emailed off now though so feeling more settled again. Here's to sleep for you and a baby Hayley on her way soon x

 

[LittleMrs]

Had some sleep but contractions are waking me up every 10-15 mins rolling around the bed. Sat on the toilet for a while because it seemed to help a bit. So tired.

 

[jojo-m]

I know it might not seem great Tracy but yay things are progressing nicely! I'd give my left leg for contractions that are getting somewhere! Soon be holding that baby and it will all be worth it! X

 

[millward329]

Thinking of you Tracy x

 

[MrsPhez]

Well I said I would be on here this morning and here I am! With NO news. All gone very quiet again. Went to bed feeling very nauseous. Didn't have any more contractions and had a good sleep. Usual frustrated awake hour at 4am, thinking too much.
Phoned hospital and booked induction for 8am Monday (2 weeks past EDD). MW didn't think I'd get that far as I was fully effaced at my sweep on Monday.

Little Mrs, all sounds good for you and hope you sneak a bit of sleep in somewhere.

Jojo, funny we both felt sick last night! Was thinking it was unrelated to labour but not so sure now. Hope things progress today.

 

[LittleMrs]

Mrsphez, hope it was related to labour and you go soon.

11 hrs in and I only seem to get contractions when I'm comfortable. Sod's law doesn't quite explain how I feel about that. I feel a bit like crying in frustration that I'm in pain and it's not going anywhere and I can't get any sleep either. Watching Adam sleep and I am so incredibly jealous.

 

[Blondie007]

just a quick update from me. Had my 'attempted' sweep today. Cervix is slightly open but not far enough forward for sweep to be done......boooo.....

So looks like induction on Sunday night for me. Good luck to you all xx
