Wow thats totally harsh, here the birthing partner can stay all night if wanted, no bed though just the chair. If they induce at night, you may get some sleep and all the slowest bit will be done with shut eye and by morning you'll be ready enough for the labour ward

I'll probably become a wreck if he has to go, so hopefully they will just give in and let him stay.

Sorry for being a moany-moo. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

If you cant moan here hun where can you I hope they do let him stay, do the hormone thing hun, that should work xxxx

 

[24/7]

Lets hope so. I admire everyone in here that is on anything other than their first baby, I really do!! xx

 

[molly85]

where are you 24?
My OH will be on nights the night before so am going in the morning with my mum and dad. then he will come and take over in the evening or when I call to say things are progressing. From the midwifes report I seem to be a a bit odd and am expected to go fast. depending on your exam and how you are coping with teh first pessarie I would try sleep could be the last semi decent night you get in months.

 

[new_to_ttc]

There is no telling how you'll react Molly, or anyone. Brandi and I were told on examinations our babies would be here weeks ago, Brandi was this late, Im still sat here so its just a waiting game. The stuff might not work for you, then it might work super fast, just take it as it comes on the day!

24, it doesnt matter which baby you on, its all scary and new and different

I'm in Kent, Molly, if you are talking about location.

I never imainged you would still be here new, and tbh I never imagined I would be either, but on we shall plod. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

lol I didnt think id still be here either, just shows you how differently each pregnancy can go I just keep telling myself that fidget will be here when its right, and not a moment before.

 

[24/7]

And Sam is clearly going with that too, much to my despair now!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

If you could get some sleep i think you will start to feel a little better hun, Im shocked how well i am coping with the wait, and Im sure its because im not hurting so much now and Im managing chunks of sleep instead of tiny snippets.

 

[molly85]

I can but hope.
i'll be in the same place though 24 if i'm still on the ward, i should be started in the morning. hugs

 

[24/7]

I am desperate for sleep, but it just isn't happening. It has been well over a week since I got a few hours in a block now, zzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Kick OH out for a night lol I had to turf Joshua out of my bed so I can move and keep comfy, I have about 10 pillows in the bed, not all used, but sometimes they are! i have them between my legs and under my boobs etc, anything that aches gets a pillow and its helping. You tried a warm bath, straight to bed, lavender powder around the bed, soft music???

 

[24/7]

Poor OH has been on the sofa for the last few nights, and it doesn't help. I'm tempted to not bother going to bed and just waiting on the sofa until I fall asleep either typing on here or watching tv, and hopefully removing the pressure of I must sleep now will help?! xx

 

[lisaf]

well I'm back home! No amniotic fluids present so I got released Actually quite happy about that, lol!
I am having contractions but not very regularly. I'm still only 3cm dilated, 70% effaced etc..
Bleeding is normal levels too so it was worth going in just to get reassured on all those fronts!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Thats what I did!! Spent over a week on the sofa, i had sore hips after though, but i did sleep in chunks! I was very stiff, so i went back to bed but seem to sleep better now. have you a tv in your room? Maybe put it on and drop off to that?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Lisa so glad you were reassured hun xxxx

 

[24/7]

No TV in bedroom, but I so wish we did right now!!

Fab news Lisa, lets get these babies out!! xx

 

[lisaf]

thanks! yes, I'm sad he's not coming today, but I'm relieved to hear I'm not stuck in the hospital with an IV and pitocin etc etc...

Spot 16 still up for grabs!!!


Oh, and it was really neat to see my contractions on the monitor.. there were a few that I wouldn't have guessed were even contractions Then one that was really strong and I just watched that number shoot way up etc, lol!

 

[24/7]

What numbers did you get up to Lisa? Mine went up to between 60 and 70. xx
