What Annabella said. I feel awful now

You do count, and I was stalking you on the TTC thread, hoping and wishing for your BFP! Plus you were supposed to get a September baby

Oh no don't feel bad! Sorry that's not what I meant, I just remembered that I was originally on the <12 with you all I'm genuinely happy for you all and get very excited when I hear one of you has had their LO Besides this way I might even get a birthday baby

Annabella just realised once you go, nearly everyone I started with has gone only Mozzy and Toniq left from our time on the less than 12 weeks.

Well surprise surprise I didn't get back to sleep! I got up again at 5am, went to the toilet and have had a teeny bit of plug-type stuff, waters still leaking. It was a bit bloody (sorry...) so I rang the maternity suite again and they said as long as it was just pinkish and not a heavy bleed type thing then it's fine. I've started having period-pain type cramps too, they started about 4am, not regular at all but things definitely seem to be happening. I've just had a shower and am making sure my bags have got everything I may need in them, just in case we don't come back from the hospital, but I'm expecting to go, be checked and get sent home... Will keep you all updated! Thanks for the best wishes

Good luck honey bunch!! How exciting for you :T xxx

I watched OBEM last night from the 2nd week. We are sooo behind lol. That girl who made her own birth suit in the water pool was lovely. What a cute lovey dovey couple. She had a lovely labour and birth. I'll have one of those thanks

Ah, all my bump buddies! It's been an incredible journey with you all since the trying to conceive thread! Hopefully we'll all be on the newborn thread together soon!

Emsbet Bless at Tortoise that's so cute, apparently the 16th of September is the most popular day to be born in the world, was reading an article about it the other day.

Emmy I can't remember you from less than 12, I remember you at 12-24 though, but I think you had loads on, with your BIL and stuff it's good everything has settled down now.

Rebekah Oh no that couple were awful, especially the guy, I wasn't even convinced he was straight :eek: they annoyed the heck out of me. So cringey

OH is still in bed :mad: we're supposed to be on the train to inlaws by now and now it's started to rain so I won't be able to wear my Russian style furry hat :rotfl: Well I've speed tidied and cleaned everywhere, I think Lirin is coming to visit tomorrow, so excited to see her and her little one

I've asked this on the newborn thread but there doesn't seem to be anyone there at the moment, so will ask here too... Even though most of us I think are on our first babies...

I'm still only getting irregular period-pain cramps but not sure whether to get my TENS machine on now, or leave it a bit until things have progressed to 'proper' contractions... I don't want to leave it too late and not get any benefit, as I think they work best if you get them on early to allow the endorphins time to build up, but I also want to try and get some sleep now while I still can, and if I'm supposed to press a button every time I have a contraction then obviously I won't get any sleep!

What would anyone else do...?

Hope you manage to get a bit of rest 4nnabella! I've got my TENS machine hire sorted out now, picking it up on Monday via the local Surestart centre. Only £5 so very MSE Apparently I'll be told how to use it at that point so can't give you any advice yet!
