Can't sleep through the pain😭 phoned triage got to wait till pains are 3-4 mins apart, lasting 1 minute for an hour, already at 5 mins apart lasting 1 minute. Hopefully not long before I can go in! Just can't believe it's actually happening! Surprised myself with how well I'm coping, I haven't cried yet and I've not used one single curse word😂
Exciting!!! @beccastirlingx I'm sure the next time we hear from you, you're little boy will be in your arms!!! Xxx😃
Good luck hun message Me and let me know I'm so excited for you sweetheart xxx
@weeflamingo, heading to hospital now! 3 mins apart and lasting a min and half and also reduced movement! Hopefully this is it! X
Wishing you all the best wishes-last hurdle and he'll been in your arms soon!!! @beccastirlingx
@tam77, between 3 and 7 minutes so still pretty irregular but so bloody painful! My mum doesn't think they'll do anything because I amnt regular😞xxx
how regular are they now? if the pain is getting unbearable i would head in to get checked see how far along you are xxxx
@mrsripper, @mummyraven2016 @tam77 I hope so, I'm still bloody crying and struggling hahaha! They are literally too strong to do anything now😞 keep loosing lots of mucus as well, like lots of it! Could this still be my plug coming away? Xx
Good luck hope you get to hold your baba today i think you will xxxx
hope you have a good day and hope you have your little one soon xx
Aww bless ya @beccastirlingx just take it slow and walking is really good for bringing contractions on once they've started so it might help regulate them xx
@mummyraven2016, @mummytomollie thank you ladies! And @mrsripper I've been doing that between the longer ones, but when they come quickly there's nothing I can do, I can't even walk through them anymore! I'm going to have great fun getting to the doctors for the midwife later 😩x
@beccastirlingx, when I just got induced I didn't sleep in 72 hours when your body kicks into full blown labour u won't feel tired at all adrenaline will take over I promise ...... However if ur contractions are spaced out you could try and just rest ur eyes in between x
good luck hun you can do it sweetie keep us updated keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx
U can do it & will because u won't have a choice lol... The tiredness will pass and your be just fine breath through the pain and pace.. I hummed to myself loads (sounds crazy I no) but it helped me lol! I must have walked miles thinking about it them corridors were rather long lol xx
@mummytomollie, even reading that just makes me want to cry. I think it's the lack of sleep that's making me so weepy! I'm useless without sleep hahahah but well done you, I could never have done that, ever! 😳xxx
I didn't do it without moaning lmao! I went to 42 weeks.. 🙈 I paced my kitchen a 1000 times before going in 2 days before giving birth! 2 days in the hospital I paced there corridors and every midwife I came across I told them I was in ever such bad pain and they said that's good 😐 I could have punched them haha! I couldn't bare being strapped too the monitor for 40 minutes a time because laying down was agony for me.. When i got to 5 they took me up to delivery & gave me gas and air ahhhhhh now that was a god send lmao! The hormone drip they placed me on me my contractions come fast and hard within 2 hours I was 10cm and pushing :)) I pushed 3 times and Mollie was out .. Best feeling in the world best experience and I would do it all over again... It's all very worth it when looking at your baby the baby u created the baby u gave life too the baby that will need u forever Ahh I still remember it like it was yesterday ... Your be fine think positive say to yourself 'I can do this' I was made to do this. Plus I'm going to see my buba so let's get the job done lol xx
@mummytomollie, 5 days?! I don't know how you done it. My contractions just keep getting stronger and stronger to the point I was lying on my bed unable to move sobbing my heart out. I'm now in the bath and that seems to be easing the pain a little. Your a better woman than I am if you could do this for 5 days hahaha xx
I was in slow labour 5 days, I had that twisting tugging pain every few minutes I couldn't sit or lay down all I could do was pace was awful.. Once I got to 5cm it became easier, ring them up and say your contracting every 2 minutes & you can't stand it any longer.. Good luck, look at it this way at least u no within the next 48 hours u will be holding your buba xx
@ssumner, that's what paracetamol is for but its not working 😞 got my midwife today so I'm going to try and go and see what she says xx
:( oh dear, it'll all be worth it tho hun! Surely if you're struggling with pain they'd allow you to go in for maybe gas n air to take the edge off? xx
@ssumner, absolutely struggling now but they aren't regular so hospital won't entertain me. I'm sat here crying now and getting so frustrated because I haven't slept 😭😭 but thank you! Xx
You go girl! you're doing great, hope it won't be long before you get to meet your lil man :) good luck! x
@mangos94, thank you! Hopefully have him by the end of the day hahaha xx
I know how you feel! just finished catching up on OBEM and remembering my Labour and how painful it was! I hope it's a quick one for you! xx
@mrsripper, all the bags are in the car, my mums asleep and getting some rest so I'm just laying in bed and pacing around just waiting! @mangos94 thank you Hun! I can't believe how well I'm handling this hahaha, it is so so painful😭xx
good luck!! you're doing amazingly by the sounds, not.long till you'll be holding your baby :D x
awww ..... you will be fine, if your around 5 mins I would start getting ready to go in it won't be long till you get to 4 @beccastirlingx
@mrsripper, it's becoming unbearable to the point I'm just about crying 😭 I just don't want to be in hospital for longer than I need to! Xx
Good luck @beccastirlingx if the pain becomes unbearable then go to hospital they can give you has and air etc xx
Yeah thinking so☺️I'm up at this hour with my little boys night feeds😂 but hopefully tomorrow will come on here and be a photo💙👶 hang in there! @beccastirlingx
It's such an odd pain! Something you'll never experience with anything else! But thank you so much, next post will hopefully be a photo of the wee guy 😃😬💜 xx
@beccastirlingx, I know exactly how you feel😫😫I feel for you right now specially no pain relief, your doing well though be worth it when you hold your baby☺️ and don't think it will go on for days now by sounds of it😬things escalated quickly from your posts😬bits the strangest worst pain ever isn't it but disappears soon as he's out!❤️ xx
@emorleyx, I'm so so tired but every time I drift off I get hit with a contraction, I'm hoping this doesn't go on for days, there's no way I could do it 😭 but thank you Hun, seriously hoping it speeds up so it can be over with! Feels like someone is reaching inside grabbing anything they can and squeezing and twisting 😩😩 xxx
The pain is so horrible😫 I didn't have anything till 4cm then gas and air from 4 to 10 cm but that was only 20 min gap and I was in agony! But I was induced and at hospital the whole process of actual labour took 2 hours couldn't imagine being at home! Not long Hun he will be here soon xxx☺️😘
I've started counting contractions for the last half n hour. They are 4 minutes apart lasting a min long but not very painful.
Kinda hard to time these but they arnt that painful but about 7 mins apart
This may be stupid but....how long do contractions last for? I keep having period cramps and lower back pain but it lasts like 3 minutes each time.
Having contractions every 3-4 mins since 4:44 ima try to wait them out BC last time I was having contractions 3 mins apart I wasn't dilating any but I was a finger tip and at my last appointment I was a full centimeter dilated.
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Aww congrats!!! Xx
