Cancelled c-section. I hope I made the right decision.

very excited for you mum2, I know it must be disappointing that things have died down but your body is starting it's preparation and giving you a chance to rest ready for the 'big' show. Goodluck sending you manageable labour vibes.

Totally agree!!! Every bit helps don't be surprised if you have already started dilating... I was 2-3cm 10days before my actual labour started so...hang in there!!! Gently does it!!!!!

Thanks ladies for all the support and encouragement. You are all an inspiration.

Contractions are back, heaps worst, 6 minutes apart. **** they hurt bad. I don't know when I'm meant to call the hospital. I'm worried if I do everything will stop.

Dedicated Doula Gillian - If you want to send me your number I can sms you updates when I've gone in.

I think I will be avoiding the induction.

This is excellent news! will be thinking of you and wish you the best for a the birth!!!!

Best wishes for an awesome birth!

Don't fight with the contractions
Thank them!!!
They are a good thing, it's mean soon you'll be holding a precious baby in your arms

RELAX YOUR JAW
RELAX YOUR SHOULDERS! - drop your shoulders down , don't hunch up...
Relax you hips ...
Wiggle your toes.

Find a gentle flow to your breathing during a contraction...
Don't hold your breath and tense up...

Praying and thinking of you!!!

I have just read this whole thread and it seems that Mum2 is having a baby woohoo... and that she hasnt posted for quite some time so here's hoping she is too busy birthing this bub.

UPDATE: We are home with a new addition to the family. Emily Katelyn was born this morning at 3.58am. We got to the hospital at 2.30pm, 7cms. Had gas from 8cms. Second degree tear. Wonderful birth. More details later. I'm going to have a sleep while both kids are sleeping.
