Congrats ww2br and good luck bb.
Sorry I've only skim read I'm currently contemplating murder as OHs snoring has kept me awake over an hour now. And he's half laid on me squashing my boobs and it hurts.You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Morning all!
How was last night BB?
Labour vibes to all who want them!
Well I had such a pants day yesterday. As I was driving to work my car made a loud bang. I got to work and one of the guys came out and looked at it. He noticed that it was very low down on one side.
I had just got a text from DH saying he was turning his phone off cos of low battery - Grrr! So I was unable to call for advice.
I took the car to the garage near my work. They have quoted me £613.99 to fix the problem!!!!
I had to leave the car with them over the weekend as I couldn't get hold of DH to discuss what to do. Resale value of my car is only £850 and I we have been saving for a newer/bigger one anyway.
I finally got through to DH (at 4.30pm!) and he said we need to go and look for a car on Sunday. We will just have to use the little savings we have and put the rest on the empty credit card (which we have worked so hard at clearing!!)
I had to ring my weekend boss and tell her I cant get into work on Sunday. So I am working for her this morning but at least I have Sunday off.
I also told her that I can't do anymore weekends as I'm just shattered. It's a shame cos I really need the money right now for the car but my little baby is far more important....
I gave DH a b o l locking about his phone though! Imagine if I had gone into labour in the morning? He might have missed the whole birth! What a plonker! Still love him though! He's so cute!
Hope today's better!
Hugs to you all x0 -

Hey Jedi! - I'm working til 36+5 at my regular 9-5 job. We have got a replacement yet and I'm getting a bit panicky about that! 1st interviews are on tuesday so fingers crossed that the right person for the job shows up!
I also have my first antenatal class that evening and I'm starting to worry that it will be too late. We have a 2 hr class that night, then all day Saturday and Sunday. Then another 2 hr class the wednesday. My mate recently went into labour at 36+6!
What if that happens to me? I won't know what to do!
I've been reading a lot about labour and watching birth programmes. Swotting up just in case! Lol!0 -
Hi all, just checking in.
Nothing much to report, still
Have been contracting all night, but irregularly, and they're still quite strong but not painful really. Just phoned anti-natal ward as per my instructions from yest, and I'm going in for induction at 10.30am. Hoping contractions will regularise before then though, as they've now told me I can't have a water birth otherwise
Just having breakfast, then going for a walk

Good luck BB!
Congrats WW2BR!
Had MW on Thurs, all fine, although she forgot to tell me to book for bloods at the last appt so having to go to the hospital this morning to have my 28 wk bloods done. And she measured bump but didn't tell me the measurement or write it down, how annoying!
Slept from 9-6.30 and woke up 3 times, not too bad. Pain in bum is still bad and got lots to do in town today.
Jedi, I'm working til 36 weeks exactly. Although the four weeks before I'm only doing 4 days a week. So I have four weeks left of Mon-Fri 9-5, it's absolutely exhausting and I work with 6 blokes and 1 woman who hasn't had kids so they have no idea what its like to be pregnant. They can't seem to understand that I'm going to be tired, eat more, ache, etc. Grr! My replacement starts on 2nd July so we will have a four week transitional period. He's only moving down from one of our other offices though to cover my maternity so he pretty much knows everything anyway. But him being there means I can take my days off and not have to worry about cover. Especially as everyone's starting to go on holiday now as well so we need cover.
Oh well, best crack on. Have already done a load of washing, vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen. Now to be drained of my blood. Fun!0 -
Ooo hope it all goes the way you want it to BB, it's the lovely end result that matters though! Sending you regular contractions vibes
Congratulations Mr and Mrs WW2BR! My eldest was 5lb 7 and is now a slightly taller than average, never sits still for a minute 5yr old - I can barely believe she was that tiny once. Looking forward to hearing more info0
