So I have dissapeaed for a while but I'm back. I gave birth to my boy on 10.11.11 @ 4.32am. It was a 15 hour labour and 2.5 hour delivery stage. I got up to 2 cm dialated and the contractions became very strong as I was induced and on the drip as my waters broke but no dilation so induction it...

It's getting quite intense. Is this a good thing?

Fingers crossed for you Hun! I hope the contractions keep coming regular for you. Xxxx

Thanks girls. It just has been hard because they for about 15 minute druing the examinaion in the surgery couldnt find his heart beat whcih left mine nearly stopping. It was a traumatic feeling tha i had no control and couldn't hear anything bu she managed to pick up mine instead (i was not...

I honestly dont know why i have an over powering feeling of downess, i an overdue and very uncomfortable. i had a sweep a about 2pm oday and since having it i haven't had any pain apart from a few twinges. i just dont undertsand y my body is not going into labour. i feel like i havent performed...

well she managed to swep the cervix and could put a finger in the cervix. She felt his head so its quite low and me cervix was like a bit effaced so she said it could well kick start things. fx for me ay xx

Great well all I can do is keep my hopes up nd hope for some action xx

Cool. I had mine at 1.40 so I guess there still might be time. Sorry to ask but was your cervix favourable when she did the sweep on you xx

As it says in the title really. Has n e 1 got n idea wen the pain (if n e) starts up? She said my cervix was not vet effaced but open nd could feel top of babys head. She could stick 1 finger in the cervix to feel him. Also absolutely no pain or discomfort at all just a tiny bit of pressure on...

Thanks girls. I woke up at 5.30 this morning feeling herrendously sick and so I'm guessing that could be a good thing. I will try the nipple thing and see what happens. For now I'm just chilling. I had the worst (tmi sorry) constipation earlier and I obviously had some struggle and I think I...

Sex, curry, ball bouncing (currently)...just about everything and nothing is working even tried primrose oil. I really don't want to be induced because I have heard it's more painful for labour. I've cleaned the house about 4 times this week, got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the...

i know i went to my midwife yesterday and said im term + 3 weeks now and she looked at me and said you not full term until tomorrow. I was so confused. Anyway I have had a really grumpy midwife so i dont always listen to her. thanks for the info though xxx

ive jst been advised that "full term" is actually 40 weeks. they said that 37 weeks is what they call the "safe point" for a high survival rate. I was kind of confused but has anyone else been advised of this? Anyway i am boooooorrrrreeeedddd bu hope all you girls are ok xx

just waned to say, your birth story filled me with tears. I can't wait to go into labour and really can wait to get that first instant feeling of holding your very own little baby. you must be so proud xxx
