Contractions were more painfull on my knees, and was having a hard time telling when they ended, as got a general constant pain, so am perched back on the couch to see if it makes a difference.

Their closer! Are they bearable? Wait till there 3-5mins apart and you can hardly walk until you go to hospital! At least then you won't be waiting there before LO arrives!

 

[Momma`Kat]

Yep still bearable, been on the phone for the last couple Lol can talk through them fine, though its more comfortable to close down for a minute and just breathe! Aint going in till i absolutely have to heh..

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I'd def do that hun! I was in hospital for 3 hours before Lacey arrived and it was horrible so I waited until I couldn't walk with charley and had him 45 mins after arriving! It was such a better experience!!

Really getting tired now after having such a disturbed night. Waiting for a neighbour to come pick something up, then going to try and lay down and rest for a bit. They are getting irratic again with me sitting up rather than kneeling, but when i stand up its like insta-contraction lol, only lasts about 10 seconds, but damn those hurt.

 

[midnight]

woo your on your way just need to get regular longer and stronger i hope you have your baby in your arms soon

 

[Momma`Kat]

Well couldnt sleep atall, but did rest a little, contractions spaced back out again, but havent been timing them for a while. They are stronger when they do come now though.

 

[midnight]

3cm is really good you only have 7 more to go and the contractions must be doing something

 

[Momma`Kat]

Ok girls, advice time..

Contractions are lasting close to 2 minutes each now.. and increasingly more difficult to deal with. They spread out to 7 minutes, but slowly moving closer again..

My worry at the moment is that ill decide to go into labour ward.. and they will stop, leaving me looking stupid Lol. Is there a way i could "test" if they will stop or not? lol and do you think labour ward will mind me going in with them 5-6 mins apart still, but because im starting to hink "gas and air now please?!" lol

 

[munchkin1982]

I would ring the ward Kat and see what they say. You've done really well to last this far! Knowing me, i'd be on the phone as soon as I get the first contraction lol Good luck but ring them hun xx

 

[midnight]

well i went in loads on my last as i kept having false labour but i dont think they minded lol better to get checked that to hold off at home too long how far away from the hospital are you?

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Have a bath! If their still coming after that then go in! If your bodies not ready the contractions normally stop! If you think it's time though, go on in! Good luck!!!

 

[Momma`Kat]

Rang labour ward, they want me to go in, typical Lol its about a half hour drive there anyway, and will take my mum a half hour to get here , so got some time to keep reevaluating! Will let JJMum know how things go if i end up staying

 

[midnight]

just incase you dont come back before baby is here good luck x

 

[Emmamb]
