oh you poor thing...how frustrating!!!! I doubt the hospital will intervene unless baby gets distressed especially as your waters haven't broken, you never know you could go off with a bang any minute!!

fingers crossed for you honey xx

Lu_T

Nice clean windows by the way! Thanks for the good wishes. Had 2 contractions in 40 mins, might go out for a walk soon, try to get things going...

Becles

Shall I send some shepherds, wise men and a star over? That might get things moving

Still thinking of you and hope baby makes an appearance today.

Lu_T

I'm up for anything at the moment! And if the wise men are bringing gifts, can I have a bottle of gin please?

Contractions are now about every 20 mins (again). Hoping to get better at this labour lark as the day goes on. Will just have to fight through Xmas shopping traffic to get to the birthing centre. Perhaps I'll set off now...

I went into labour around 00.15 last night (early hours of Friday 22 Dec). Started fairly painfully but never settled down into anything regular. Have so far been in some form of labour for over 15 hours, but am not feeling too bad, contractions have been sporadic, sometimes only one per hour.

Contractions are starting to be regular and around 20 mins apart, so hopefully body is getting the idea about what is meant to be happening! Have managed to snatch an hours nap - hubby informs me I had 2 contractions during this time as my breathing changed - do vaguely remember, but not properly. Am hoping I can do some more of that! :T

Birth centre are on standby so hopefully I'll get the water birth I so want. Looks like baby will be surprising everyone and arriving on the due date (23rd, tomorrow) rather than early or late!

Wish me luck! Will be back with news when we have it.

Lu

Wow, hope it all goes well. Just for you I saw this cartoon and thought of you!
