Yeah I super sleepy from it and I noticed my contractions I have gotten are way less painful already. woohoo! I just feel super relaxed which is nice!
I just got home from l&d, was having contractions every 5 minutes. Dilated to 4 but no additional progress so I was sent home to wait. Contractions have mostly stopped now.
Winni I thought when u were a 4 you were considered in active labour?? Hopefully things pick up for you hun xx
I was 7 cm when I went into to hospital to be induced and I was not even in Labour...??
oh and I was 36 weeks 3 days preg!!
Wow Pinkin.. I remember reading it when I had DS1 and when I got to hospital with him I was 4cm and contracting so I was admitted as they said I was in active labour. Couldnt imagine walking around at 7cm! That would have been a very quick induction for you lol With DS2 I was 6cm when I got to hospital but I had been contracting every 3 mins for an hour or more beforehand.
Mummypink - I hope everything is ok with you and you are just busy holding your beautiful new baby :)
Winni - have those contrax stayed away still?
When i went in with DD i was 4cm and contracting every 5mins so they broke my waters and gave me potocin drip and 9 hours later DD was born. They probably should have sent me home too, they just seemed to want to rush things along! Im going to wait till im 3mins between contractions this time.
I had him in 3 hrs but had an epidural so I think If I had of not had the epi and been able to move around I would of had him alot quicker... First ds had him in 4.5 hrs and that was only with using the gas!
Cinss I couldnt agree more with waiting - I was lucky in that they didnt rush me with inducing drugs with DS1, my hind waters had already broken at home but with DS1 being posterior I was in need of pain relief as I was in agony so was very happy to be there lol
DS2 was a breeze in comparison, got to hospital at 2.30am and had him 3 hours later at 5.25am - you definitely know your body second time around :)
I believe active labor is 5 cm but a lot of docs will keep you and break your water at 4 if you are having good strong contractions.
I'm suppose to go in immediatley when I notice regular contractions since I am vbac. I don't like it because I don't want to have to lie in the bed right away like they make me. Last time I woke up middle of the night with contractions two minutes apart and strong right away. I was almost a 5 when I got there and it took 4 hours. Hoping it's similar or less this time. 2 hours would be nice.
Aww... my 4D scan went really well! I got 57 photos! She looks a bit like my son but I swear the features are more prominently my husband (whereas my son looks a bit more like me.) so lovely! I'll share some later when I get home. She looks so squishy already! :)
I was 7cm 10 mins before teddy was born!!! With very irregular contractions.
Goes to show how quickly it can change.
xx
I'll try to restrain myself - like I said earlier, I was given a disc of 57 images! Wowza... so many to pick from!

And she's beautiful!
They are awesome! she looks so adorable already, aarrrghh I just cant wait to meet our little babies :):)
So are there any of you ladies feeling like bubs is going to be herein the next 24 hours!! Some of you are so close :) I just cant wait to see the next baby born :)
Nope, not sure why but I have been feeling discouraged and pessimistic about this labor. Something feels off and I'm not excited like I was with my last, I'm just annoyed at everything and everyone at all times, i try to change my mood but it keeps going right back to dreary. Ugh!
I have an appt tomorrow and I'm sure doc will strip my membranes. Maybe by Sunday I will have a baby and a better outlook ;-)
Rosie I'm sorry you're feeling so low :( its hard at this stage of pregnancy, hopefully in the moment you'll start to feel better about things xx
OMG Rosie, I had no idea it was your turn! I need to pay a lot more attention to due dates Ahhhh how exciting!!! Can't wait to meet your little one.
I hope that you are able to cheer up soon and prepare for the arrival of your sweet baby! I'm SO excited! :running:
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
Butterfly~ I love your avatar, so precious!! :HH:
Surgena- Such adorable pics of your baby girl! :)
Sending tons of labor vibes Rosie and Mummy!!!
I've been down too mummy, I think I need the same...cuddles with my little man. Here's to hoping we both get them this weekend! Good luck!
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!!!

Oh the bloody show was a sure sign for my Ds2!! He came within 4/5 hr's after that, how exciting Rosie:) I hope this is it hun.
Mp how frustrating for you, I'm sure your lil man will be here very soon though hun xx
Ynwa only a few days to go omg this page will be booming with babies soon :)
All the best to you all xx h
Hoping it wasn't all just irritation from the doctor exam. Still having contractions but they are not as frequent. Hoping the bleeding wasn't from the check, although I never bleed from that so hmmmm
Well, you are a 3 and 80% so I say that she'll be here pretty darn SOON! ;)Quote:

3m, maybe grab a couple smaller outfits just in case. You can always roll up sleeves and baby will probably be swaddled a lot early on anyway do I probably wouldn't bother to get a lot of new born size.
Rosie, fingers crossed for you!
Surgena, awesome pics! Can't wait to see the live version for comparison.
My contractions have stopped and a whole lotta nothin' is going on. If I was 39 weeks or more they would have helped labor along but don't do anything before then unless there is a medical need.
C'mon you little bubba's due soon, stop giving your mummys a hard time - We're all ready to meet you :) Hope you ladies are holding up ok x
Sending you all close to due date labor vibes ;)
