Well waters went at 7pm just had midwife out - 1cm dilated now so have 24hrs to establish labour before they send me off to be induced. Although there are apparently no spare slots so will probably be my original 9am Sat slot if it gets to that! Have been feeling period type pains where my BH are normally painless so hope things get moving!

:jYippee Savage! I am so excited for you. Very similar happened to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and her contractions properly kicked in at the final hour before they were going to induce her, and her little boy was born a few hours later.

OK thank you for the advisory - Emmerdale now on my avoidance list (I struggle with anything prem baby related still at times - triggers a lot of memories for me)... I know what you mean though - was watching the OBEM what happened next one the other week and the teenage couple who had the prem little boy were on... I remember watching that, being at exactly the point in my pregnancy they were when they delivered and thinking "oh that's what she'll look like right now"... then she rolled up three weeks later into an incubator herself! Cue massive bawling my eyes out at the follow up when they were talking about how it all felt at the time and how it was dealing with a preemie when they came out of hospital and stuff.

This time - I'm tying my legs together until 35 weeks and putting a cork up there!

About to go start sorting through baby clothes from number 1 ready for number 2 (having two girls close together has perks) - this may be tear jerking at some of the preemie sized stuff!

Hi everyone,

Congratulations MissKeith, Marta and Mlbarrett.

Good luck GISI for tomorrow.

Savage good luck. :j:j:j:j

Sorry for not being too active these days, I had a really busy week seeing all my friends, going out with my OH and just relaxing.

Hope everyone is OK.

Monday I'll be a mummy :j:j:j

Ooh savageHK good luck

Gosh dizziblonde sounds like you had a tough time with your first one, here's to keeping legs crossed for second!

Not coping well with pelvis pain today Going to phone physio department tomorrow to ask what I should do with trying to keep active for birth, might have to resort to crutches which I really don't want to do.

MushyPeas if you've got SPD - I found crutches to be about the only thing the physios offered that helped last pregnancy - they gave me all the support belts and tubigrips and that stuff - but the tubigrip just rolled up constantly, and the support belt really annoyed the baby so between being trussed up like a mummy and a baby headbutting from the inside in irritation - it was more bother than it was worth!

I've got it worse this time - expected it but the pain when trying to lift a 20lb 8 month old is horrific, and I can't even fall back on using crutches to reduce it when I need to push a buggy - I've basically had to adapt the house so I have no need to tackle stairs carrying the baby during the day - we've got a spare cot downstairs for daytime naps and spare nappy change stuff downstairs too (we've always done that part though) which minimises it a bit - I'm still almost in tears by the end of the day.

I also have confirmed to myself that I did have a ridiculous number of clothes for baby number 1 now - and made myself cry in the process of looking at all of them!

dizziblonde - it's starting to freak me out a bit. The worst bit is getting from lying down to sitting up when it goes 'clunk' as if it's falling apart and it really scares me! And of course it's rather painful

I broke my leg in Jan 2010 - long story - and used a walking stick till March this year so really don't want to go on crutches but walking gives me shooting pains at the moment.

Gosh, I can't imagine what it's like with another little one - no wonder you are in tears!!

I keep reading about being induced (that's happening next Wed) and all the advice is to keep walking around so thought I'd need the support.

dizziblonde

If it's any consolation, apart from some long-term damage where the muppets stuck my legs around my ears in stirrups under a spinal block which just makes my hip niggle a bit if I walk for hours - the pain went away almost immediately last time when she was born.
