I started with contractions a few days ago in the middle of the night, they were fairly strong (although not painful) and 10 minutes apart for about 3 hours and then got down to 7 minutes apart. I got up and had a shower and they eased off a bit, we got the kids up and sent off to nursery and I took the dog for a walk and things picked up again so we set off to hospital. Of course in the hours drive there the contractions stopped! When I got there they checked me and I was still having contractions but very sporadic, and I was 2cm dilated so nothing really. They gave me a sweep and said to have a walk around and see if things picked up so we went off into the nearby town and had lunch walked around loads. While I was walking I was getting more and more contractions, went back to the hospital and they calmed down again! I got checked and was only 2-3cm dilated! They said I could stay in if I wanted as my other two labours have been very quick. We called a friend who kindly offered to look after the boys for the night and we decided to stay in the hospital just to be on the safe side. Despite loads of walking round corridors etc the contractions didn't build up anymore and by morning I was ready for home so we came back on the basis that if they start again I have to get straight to the hospital. Very frustrating! I've had contractions and labour type pains every since but nothing regular to make me think he is actually on his way. Just hoping when things do start properly I still have time to get to the hospital!

Plus I really want him to come this weekend as hubby already had to have 2 days off work and they are going to think he is taking the mickey if he has to have more time off next week when the baby finally decides to appear!!

I'm not apprehensive at all about the labour I just want it to happen but I am feeling really down. Not totally sure why, I think I just need to be cuddling my new little man now. xxx

Hello ladies. I need your opinion. Last Thursday I had a growth scan. I was a little over 35 weeks. The tech said the baby weighed about 6.6 lbs. And he was in the 77th percentile. Today I had my weekly appt with a doc that had looked at my u/s from last week. She said baby was in the 55th percentile. She thinks this little guy will be about 7lbs14oz. I've had pretty big babies in the past. My last little guy was 9. Who do you think I should go with, the tech who did the scan, or the doc that looked at it? I have no newborn clothes. And I don't feel like going out and getting some. But it he's not even 8lbs I'll have to. Thanks ladies. And hurry up Mr. Rosie and Mr. Mummypink!!!
