As some of you know from fb, I had contractions last night and was kept in the hospital over night to make sure everything was ok.

But OMG... I forgot how awful having a baby was!

I didnt get any sleep whatsoever. There were four women who went into labour through the night and all of them were literally screaming the place down.

Then all of a sudden the babies all started crying as soon as they were born and one just cried constantly for about 2 hours - I bet his/her mum thought 'WTF'!

At one point a huge siren went off too, so I think there was an emergency situation with one of the labours.

I can safely say this is going to be my last! x

Oh god poor you hearing all that!

I'm guessing everything was ok with you?! Hope so! X

Yeah, I was having big and regular contractions and they said there was no way I was going home, they prepped me for theatre, wouldnt let me eat. Then they stopped .

They keep trying to get me to have her naturally breech, so im not moving off the sofa now until the c section on Thursday as im not convinced its safe (and painless ). x

fx hun the baby will turn before thurs so u can go natrual.xxxx

haha diffo labour wards for you take some earphones with you good luck hun hope baby comes for you soon

char

I would love her to, but the registrar said today that there is no way on this earth that she will turn now, with the position that she is in (her head is tucked in my ribs). (although never say never) x

Oh crikey, a night on a labour ward was not what you needed! I'm sure it won't be that traumatic for you... you are a pro now! x x x

I can assure you that c sections are so much more dignified than all that screaming and panting

how you feeling now laura i have a sneaky feeling you might go before thursday.xxx

Im feeling ok now. Getting tightenings now and again, but nothing like last night. I was so sure that I was going to have her as they were so intense and 3/4 minutes apart.

Im staying on the sofa now for the next 5 days (or at least trying to while trying to look after Aimee and Lily) x

i know its hard especially when you have yopunger ones to run around fx this labour/birth goes nice and smoothly for you hun.xxxx

Fx she stays where she is till thursday.

I think a night in maternity is horrible, no point trying to sleep too much going on
