CMD I recommend raspberry leaf tea capsules regardless as they are supposed to lubricate the way out - and since they worry it can induce early labour if you use it earlier in pregnancy - it may well be true!

They reckon if you are nesting and cleaning - it is a sign you are about to come... I don't know....

Have been taking the raspberry leaf capsules. Also I was bouncing on the birthing ball this evening and it seemed to bring on cramps. They stopped when I got off it though. Will be having a thai curry tomorrow night and trying other various methods tomorrow.

Thanks all.

My Mam is good thanks TooMuch - she is keeping me great company and is also doing lots of cooking and cleaning etc. We love having her here My Dad comes over net weekend so it will be lovely to see him too.

Glad your mum is OK, how nice that she is looking after you so well, it's great that she is there for when you go into labour. Is she going to be at the birth?

There were restrictions on the number of birth partners because of the winter vomiting bug but they seem to have lifted that slightly although they are asking for people to contact individual wards so don't know if she will be allowed in. If she is allowed in she will be there until the pushing part and then she will go out and come in when the baby is born.

That is OK then, how exciting!

It's reminded me of when I was in labour with DD2, my parents had gone out with DD1 and they didn't have a key to get in the house as I went into labour early, so they had to come all the way over to Queen Charlotte's to get the key, so my mum came into the delivery room while I was in labour and then they went home.

My delivery room overlooked Wormwood Scrubs prison, what fun!!

Yeah but if you were anything like me surrounding were not important! I had my music and that was the main thing....

Lol - I would love to see the inside of a delivery room at this stage! Were any of you induced? And if so, what was it like?

£200 paid off my loan. This loan will take a while to get paid off with maternity pay. Lol!
