[AP]

Hi Barb!Welcome over! i'm Sandi, i have a lil 27 weeker girl called Alex, and im overcooked is time *scratches head*

im sorry pre E got you again! good to hear you are this far though! it must be hard being on bed rest with a two year old - it'd be almost impossible with my 21 month old!

Happy 30 weeks too! and good luck for tomorrow, let us know how it goes Barb!

hmmmm girls i am now timing these pains im getting. They dont feel as bad as the ones i had with alex but who says this is gonna feel quite the same? ARGH!

 

[Tasha]

Oooh so he might not make it, everything crossed. I think all of mine have felt different hun, besides remember you are watching for these now, in the early stages with Alex you werent so it might be the same as it was, iykwim?

Hi Barb, sorry to read about your pre-eclampsia, I hope the bed rest works for you.

im thinking cause alex was smaller it may have been more intense?

anyways ive used a contraction timer, im almost ready to say......its contractions.......

the last 5 have been 7-8 mins apart and lasting around 33 secs each. clockwork.

help!

 

[Tasha]

Oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I am soooooo excited, Matt just asked me why I was bouncing around, and I squealed Sandi's having contractions

7-8 minutes already. Walk as much as you can manage, cos that really does help but bit difficult with spd.

I wanna scream

I reckon your body knew there was a point to prove, like oh I can go over due, see done it

well ive had nine now, they are averaging 36 secs and frequency of 8.30 mins.

shiiiiit lol, they seem to be geting stronger lol.

oh bugger bugger what do i do when do i go in i dunno lol

 

[Tasha]

Lol Sandi, I think it is when they are 5 minutes apart from what I remember but to be fair I was induced with Morgan due to the pre-eclampsia, went to be induced with Naomi-Mae but was in labour so was already at the hospital, Honey I was induced, Kaysie induction. I never realised before I miss the whole ringing part

Intense is good, pinch the hubby or something
