    Sorry things aren't moving as fast as you'd like Toothfairy :( try some long walks and lots of bouncing on the ball if you have one! I'm hunched in the foetal position with my TENS on waiting for OH to get home before I risk standing and being more active! Have a feeling this could be a long one...

    Oh my goodness lobey, sounds like things are progressing quite rapidly for you if you're suffering that much pain already. Is there any regularity to the pain yet? Will be thinking of you xx

    It's not too painful really just in the middle of a contraction then! The TENS is really helping though :)

    Good luck lobey! And thanks for the words of encouragement guys. *stamps feet* i want my baby NOW! Lol, in seriousness though as long as he gets here healthy i will be assuming he is coming in 12 days time. Any earlier will be a bonus :)

    I think the jiggling is the secret Toothfairy!

    They're roughly every 5-6 mins last 40 seconds, I don't feel in much pain though so I'm kind of wondering if I should be more ready to go to the hospital.

    Toothfairy, I know it's a bit dark now but what about a brisk walk round the block? Might help get things moving.

    Lobey...sounds like tonight's your night we were told to call birthing centre when 5mins apart and 1min long.


    AFM - OH has just booked our luxury weekend away before baby comes along. If he doesn't propose that weekend I am going to cry as we'll never have as romantic a holiday as this ever again. I shall not mention marriage at all and hope he does ruddy well ask.

    Kerri, i've been out for an hour long walk earlier with the dog and will be doing the same every day now lol. Bouncing on the ball watching Masterchef :)

    Ditto!! Midwife offered an internal (which I accepted) and made it clear a sweep wouldn't be possible as baby only 1/5 engaged. She said cervix is still high, but quite soft. As with toothfairy appointment booked for this time next week.

    Race you! Lol
