[gemma25]

i hope so its been a horabble pregnancy again all i can eat is beans on toast or bread and butter and all i can drink is tango or bits of water i keep being sick i got told i had that hyperemesis iwas in hospital all the time with my first child because all i ate withe her was digestive buiscits and water.month agoi had a blood transfusion because i was enemic i was 7.4 which i was told it suposed to be around the 11 area so im a bit depressed

Poor you! How are the contractions now?

 

[gemma25]

sometimes they are 7 mins n then they go to ten waters still not broken im thinking of going in a hot bath see if that does anything

 

[evajo]

My waters never broke until i was about to give birth! Bath sounds good, not too hot though, but good for the pain in any case. Try and keep moving as much as possible - can't beleive i will be going through the same thing in 20 weeks! I remember last time doing the washing up and everytime i had a contraction i woud walk around the kitchen table a few times. Have you rung the hospital?

 

[gemma25]

know not yet as i was told it would be a waste of time unless i was 5minutes or below wether that is true or not i dont know? i think im going too veeeeeery soon as they keep changing to 4 mins then back to 7

I suppose it depends on the hospital - mine is quite small with only three beds and were always happy to check me out - sometimes its just nice to know how far along you are. How long are the contractions lasting and are you out of breath with them? Can't beleive your on net i am sooooo excited for you although crossing my legs at the thought of your pain xx

 

[gemma25]

lol cant wait for her to come out, pain is lasting for about 20 seconds im not really out of breath but it hurts - im going to go in the bath know to see if it eases the pain a bit i hope she comes tonight i havent even got a name for her yet

 

[evajo]
