Right girlies we need some serious positive vibes goin Chrissy's way today...

I've been gettin texts through the night from the lovely lady and she's doin sooooo well but is really knackered!!

So here's what i know...

I text Chrissy yesterday evening just to say i was thinking of her and she text back about midnight saying that the contractions was definatley gettin stronger and about 6 to 7 minutes apart...they were more painful but she knew they was gonna get worse...

At about 5.30am this morning she texted again to say that she'd just called the midwife cos contractions were 3 minutes apart and she was coping with no pain relief whatsoever (what a legend 8) ) and was hoping that the midwife said she could get in her pool...

9am Still having contractions every 3 minutes but midwife has said her cervix hasn't dilated at all (poor love :hug: ) Chrissy's been told to take some painkillers and try and get some rest and see if she can slow the contractions down to give her cervix a chance to catch up. Chrissy is knackered as you can probably all imagine.

So i have suggested maybe she fills her pool and tries to have a snooze in the warm water for a bit cos i think thats what i would do in her situation...

So cummon ladies lets have some serious opening up vibes for Chrissy this morning please :)

Much love to you chrissy and try n get some rest sweetie :hug: x x x x x x

Update 1:

Bless her heart. Chrissy's managed to slow her contractions down to 7 minutes apart and her cervix is starting to dilate now :cheer: yayyyyy go chrissy :hug: She says that its all very painful but she's managed to grab a couple of 40 winks between contractions but she's shattered. She's gonna try n get the contractions closer back together again soon.

So cummon little baby stop messin ya poor mummy about and get a wriggle on innit!

Chrissy says she will text again when things are progressing so keep them good opening up vibes coming ladies n i'll keep u updated as n when :) x x x x x

Update 2 6.30am Friday

Oooh she's havin a mess about labour is our chrissy poor love :hug: She just texted to say she been up all night havin contractions 6 mins apart - they did stretch out at one point allowin her five minute snoozes between contractions - she's exhausted like we wouldn't believe but midwife not comin back out til they back up to 4/5minutes again and she not allowed in the pool till she's "officially" in labour so she's just breathing through them, but she says they are really strong....

So cummon little green babba! We are all dying to meet you especially Mummy who's tryin her hardest to get you out!!!

I just told Chrissy she's a hardcore mama and she's doin really really well! :) xxxxxx
