Lizziimayy labour thread!

[lizziimayy]

Contractions began at 12am last night with tightenings and period like pains. Almost 12 hours later and just 3 hours sleep I'm not much further! Contractions are starting to get stronger and are roughly 7-8 minutes apart.
Excited to have gone into labour naturally!

Yay! Well done baby, sending positive labour vibes your way! Good luck hun xx

 

[lizziimayy]

I can't believe that it's finally here, this pregnancy has gone so fast!

 

[Laura29]

[Jessiecat]

Ooh exciting!! Fingers crossed everything keeps moving xx

 

[wispy]

eeeekkk! good luck hun - keep us posted please x

 

[lizziimayy]

Contractions are starting to feel stronger but not getting any closer together yet. Waiting for the OH to get home so looking forward to getting some cuddles and comfort!
I have a feeling that this may be a long labour!

 

[Rooster30]

Ohh good luck, and i'm not at all jealous!

 

[lizziimayy]

I would be! Been so jealous of all these April babies. However, there really hasn't been much progress not anywhere near to going to the hospital yet.

I hope things pick up pace for you!x

 

[lizziimayy]

They're starting to slow down to 8 minutes apart any tips of how to speed up contractions?

 

[Emmajaine]

Good luck hun! Xx

 

[Jessiecat]

I don't know if it helps but have you got a ball to bounce on? Plus many laps up and downstairs if your body will allow, keep moving and let gravity help xx

 

[KWarbee]

Don't have any tips as I'm a newbie to this myself but wanted to wish you lots of luck and hope things pick up soon for you. Exciting xx

 

[Rebecca89]

good luck!! xxx

After almost 24 hours contracting I've been told to go home as I'm only half a cm dilated. I was so gutted that I cried! Long night ahead...

 

[Laura29]

Aww so sorry it's not moving faster hun
Try and get some rest x

 

[Coletteypie]

so rubbish and frustrating for you. Try to keep calm and think about relaxing at home to conserve your energy. In the next 24 hours you should have your wee bundle to cuddle. You can do it! xx

 

[Rooster30]

Oh no

 

[lizziimayy]

Thanks all for the support will try and get some sleep tonight!
