Hello everyone heathers husband here. Just to light you know it has started and the midwifes are on the way

Thank you. And good luck for your c-section tomorrow. I can't believe you are going to have your baby before us!! Hope it all goes well. How exciting that this time tomorrow you will probably be cuddling your little one. Hope it's not too painful afterwards and that you heal really...

I'm still here, and no signs at all over this weekend. :( Got my 2nd sweep tomorrow, but not holding out much hope really. Getting really quite depressed about it. Heather x

That's the spirit. Just think, only another 6/7 days. I'm not keen on the idea of induction either, but I think if I go past 12 days (only 4 more days) over then I am going to say yes. Can't go on forever! Heather x

Mine was the 8th, just just a day before you. It's getting really frustrating isn't it!! I have given up. Not even trying now. Just going to let nature decide. I've been ignoring any twinges I have had today, and will only start timing them again once they are really painful, that way I won't...

I had my sweep on Wednesday morning, that's what caused the false contractions. Got another sweep booked for monday (40+10),and after that I really don't know. I am planning on having a homebirth, but not sure how much over they will let me go. Can't have an induction if I want a...

Hi Lau, Good luck for your sweep tomorrow. I really hope it works for you. As you know, I had mine at 40+5, and although it really did give me contractions, they all disappeared within 12 hours, and I'm still here 2 days later. As with all these things, it will only work if you are...

Hi Neeko, The strangest thing is that on Wednesday you, Lau and me were all having pains and labour signs, and it seemed that we were all going to be giving birth that day, but sadly we are all still here!! Yep, I've had a sweep, and obviously didn't work. This waiting is awful. This is...

Thank you so much. I need that dust!! Hoping that I will have an announcement soon, but not holding my breath! Heather x

Hi, Sorry I haven't updated for so long. Had regular pains throughout the night, but all stopped this morning. I got so excited, as the pains really were painful. Not holding out much hope for a baby before the weekend is over. :( Heather x

Thanks for asking after me. Haven't had anything all day, apart from some really strong BHs, but not painful at all. But, since about 7pm, I have been having really quite painful tightenings and backache (don't want to jinx myself and call them contractions), every 7-10 mins. Not...

How on earth can anyone say it is boring?? You don't get time to be bored!! I absolutely love the newborn stage (wish they stayed like that forever!!). They are so tiny and precious, and totally dependent on you. I think that woman must be off her head a bit! Heather x

Well, nothing at all last night. :( Didn't sleep particularly well either though, as I kept waking up to see whether I was having any pains. Going to try walking lots today, but not holding my breath. I am so disappointed. I really thought it was the start of labour. I'm getting...

Well, it seems to have all slowed down since I had a bath. Still getting some really strong BHs, that cause a little backache and periody pain, but nothing really painful. :( Hoping that something more happens overnight, but not getting my hopes up too much. Will update as soon as...
