hellloo, im back.

well i have good news and bad news.

good news is, im now 2 cm dilated!

bad news is, my cervix is still long so could be like this for another few days :(

I was having contractions on the monitr but i couldnt feel them, only constant peroid pains.

the midwife did a sweep and said to hire a tens machine to help with the tightening pains.

who here used a tens in there labours? is it really worth me trying it?
 
Hi Layla, I hope things aren't too long for you now, you have just mentioned something that I knew nothing about. I have been having horrible back pains for the last few days like strong period pains could that mean I am having contractions as well but not knowing?

Time just goes so slow, but at least I know I only have 1 week before being induced.
 
Hi Layla,

You won't know me as i'm from the first/secong trimester at the mo but have been following all of your progress and the others in the third!

When I had my first baby a couple of years ago I used a tens machine for about the first 10 hours of labour (it was a long one!) and it was really good. The only reason I took it off was to get into the birthing pool to try that too! Its sort of painful but in a way you get used to and then it becomes nice and does provide relief. I would definitely recommend it and am going to get one again!

Anyway good luck and hope it happens for you soon!!

I USED TENS AS MY ONLY PAIN RELIEF AND IT REALLY DOES HELP IF ONLY TAKING YOUR MIND OF THE PAIN LOL WISH I COULD HAVE KEPT MINE JUST TO PLAY WIT LOL :D :D
 
Hello

Im glad your ok but its too bad your not stayin in at least you dont have long to wait.
My doc at my appointment mentioned that my cervix wasnt long any more and was ready and on my post i hadent mentioned it cuz i couldnt remember the words she used lol.
Well hope things happen fast or you have to wait till monday .
Good luck.
Katrina :D
 
I used a tens machine and found it really helpful. It's like they say, kinda painful but in a good way, like scratching an itch! I used it till then end, when hubby was just max-powering it all the way LOL
 
thanks guys,

I think i will rent one, the midwife told me where to get one, its £25 for 4 weeks.

seeing my consultant this morning at 9.30, fingers crossed he still agrees with the induction date!
 
so layla, how did it go? what did they say???

and where do you rent a tens machine?

Hi Layla - Hope things get moving for you soon, being 2cm dilated surely is a good sign!?

Pips - I'm hiring my tens machine from this place:
http://www.tens-hire.co.uk/ it's £20 plus £3 p&P for 6 wks hire (they send it to you 3 wks before your due date) They didn't charge me extra to post to Scotland.

YAY!!!

he said its fine to go ahead with the induction, i got to phone the hospital at 3pm on monday to find out what time i have to go in, they induce you in the evenings there instead of the morning.
im so excited now, there is an end in sight! :D
 
Great news for you Layla, at least you now know that monday is the last day.

Nothing come of the sweep yet?
 
no, the midwife said my cervix is long still so i wouldnt have gone last night anyway.

she said i would prob need 2 or 3 to get me going, but now i dont need them anyway
