    Hope the contractions pick up for you. Were you any more dilated at your 2nd sweep?

    I went a week over with DD and ate that much pineapple I made my mouth sore! I think we can try all these things but baby will come when it wants. Hope you haven't got too many people saying 'you not had the baby yet?'

    Weirdly they say "you still here then?" am I going to vanish in a puff of smoke??

    Think I am prob in mild labour, hoping it hots up soon as I am bored now;)

    Checked my AF order carefully, a good thing since there were items missing. Good as gold, they are crediting me back the money plus 10% and "retraining their packing team". So good service.

    Let's hope so. Do you fancy a middle of the night labour with the kids in bed or an evening one with you all tucked up later with your new family member?
    Updating soon...
  • A middle of the night one, please. Think I will have to call a m/w out in a bit.

    Those numbers mean nothing to me but assume it's about contractions. So I'm just going to say Good Luck. My bessie that was due on 23rd March has just gone into labour...well I say just. Her waters broke at 5am and I've not heard anything since.
