So looks like I'm in labour. Contractions have been every 5mins since about 4.30pm but been having them on off all day. Just been to the loo and was bloody discharge so guess thats the plug/show thingy, not sure if it's been coming out in bits tho for the last few days as i've had quite a bit of discharge recently.

Contractions are bareable atm. Any tips for to keep them coming? don't want it all to stop now. I haven't got a gym ball. Fail. I've cleaned the kitchen, maybe i should clean something else, keep moving..

Oh and for those on FB, please don't mention it atm, as I can't be bothered with all my friends texting me asking what's going on. I'll keep you all updated though. xx

yaaaaaaay how exciting hope things keep going and you have your little boy by the end of the night! the advice we were given was just to keep moving, see if you can manage to get out for a walk this evening so at least it's gentle movement. ooooooooooooh good luck

Good luck hun hope it's nice and quick for you

ooooh good luck chick! i hope this is definitely it and you'll have your little boy soon!

only real tip is to keep moving

walk up and down stairs And just keep active good luck huni xx

Yay, yay, yay! How exciting.

Its looking good hun. Have you called the labour ward yet?

Its worth doing so you can at least get checked out. I was 7cm when I got there and was really surprised as I wasnt in loads of pain and they were 4 mins apart! x

Oh I'm so excited, try to keep us updated. Hey shell, your baby be oldest in his class when he starts school. Studies also show that boys born September or October make good footballers xxx

ooooooh exciting !!!!! Just keep upright and moving around. Eat now if you can, just in case it's a long one. Good luck, stay calm and deep breathe xxx

woohoo exciting stuff Had a feeling it would b soon babes good luck and keep moving XX

yay hope its quick

Still getting contractions every 3-5mins. I've put Immi to bed, changed all the bed sheets ready for Matt's parents to use, repacked my hospital bag, walked around a bit. Just called hospital and they said have a bath and call back in a couple of hours or when the pain gets worse, or contractions closer together. So will probs go for a bath in a min.

xx

Ohhh fantastic hope it goes well hun

Ooooh wow exciting stuff shell!!! Erm walk up and down stairs, get on all 4s for a bit (not sure why lol) erm........hoover, clean floors, clean windows (carefully)

You will be knackered before you get there if you follow my advice

Yay shell, hope its quick for you!!



Ive heard that walking up stairs helps...sideways if you can (supposedly helps baby further into pelvis)



Anyhow, hope its progressing nicely for you now hun - Big Hugs xx

Just wondered any update chick, hope little man isn't too long,

Oh how exciting shell! Hope he's here already! If not best o luck xx

Not sure if anyone's updated elsewhere but Shells had her baby boy

I'll let her update with the details

Congrats Shell

Joshua Matthew Hampstead was born at 1.55am this morning - 2nd Sept weighing 8lb 10.5oz

Matts parents got here at 9pm and we went to hospital about 11pm so all worked out. We left hospital at 5ish this morning, 3hrs after birth so were home and got a couple of hours sleep before Immi woke up. I will do a proper birth story when I get on the laptop

Huge congratulations again hun, he really is gorgeous xxx
