How can you tell if its BH or labour contractions?

Damn Brooke are you still around ;)

Maybe you just might plodder along like this for a few days. Good thing your not hanging out for it to progress.

Not sure which vibes you want, hurry up ones or slow down ones so I'll just say good luck :)

LOL, Brooke, got to be looking gorgeous for those first pics after bubs birth hey. It is amazing the pick me up a haircut will give you. Enjoy it hun.

I told SIL she can go over the weekend. I am supposed to working out at the Blacktown show, what a perfect excuse not to have to hey. Am taking her to the accupuncturist on Friday, so hopefully that gets things moving along for her. Already they are whinging for the induction.

Yeah, I think Teh's pretty cute too, Shame she's such a cow most of the time, a cute cow though. Her hair often gets her attention too. She's my little Nicole (kidman) hope she makes the money like her ;)

Thanks for your answers and advice everyone. What was happening was early labour contractions, and we are now back home with our little girl.

Get some rest girl ........ you don't have long to wait

How are you doing this morning Brooke?? Hopefully bub is staying put for you for a few more days.

Yeah, Tom is more than a little wierd.

Caro, no need for confusion, Karina has had her little girl. And Brooke has taken over her thread :)

The cramping could be no.2s... lol. Good luck girls and lots of labour vibes. May that birthing goddess inside you roar as loudly as you need ;-)

Go on and roar Brooke, I want to hear you from here ;)

Hmm I wonder if pre labour is going to get taken over by real labour ???

Brooke, glad to hear it is slowing down for you, only because that is what you want. Really appreciate you trying to send though LV this way, I most definitely want them, I wouold do a dance if i got contractions again! Getting sick of this crampy nauseated feeling 24/7! The LVs must have been lost by aust post though....

Hi, am still here too! Nothing through the night, and a few mild sort of crampy pains today. Am feeling a bit sick though, so who knows?????? I hate waiting, I am the most impatient person I know, and I am also a control freak, so not having any kind of control over this is driving me nuts!! DH has put a ban on me talking about "what if" stuff as he is getting sick of me too! He says - just relax and he will come out eventually. Easy for him to say!!!

I hope for your sakes Rachel and B4 that things are happening for you soon!

Oh, JoMarie, I hear you lady!!! I've got the nausea too...it is horrid, 2 days of feeling sick and crampy, it's enough to drive you mad! I keep getting told that baby will come when it wants....really?! What about what mum and dad want!!! I hope you feel better soon.

Brooke, I bet he was impressed. The way your going hun you'll be fully dilated when you get to the hospital.

Ok this is only for the girls who are not going to have vaginal bypass surgery.

Are you all taking and inserting EPO?

It is known to help bring on labour

For the girls who are going to have vaginal bypass surgery.

Keep away from the EPO:p

PMSL Alan @ vaginal bypass surgery. I like that one.

I have had SIL pouring the stuff into for the last couple of weeks. She will be 40 weeks on Sunday and he still isn't engaged and there are no other signs whatsoever. How do we get this little man moving? They want to book her in for induction next week.

hmmm.....good question Trish;)

Ooh Good luck everyone!! I love reading about everyone getting ready to have their bubbas!! I think because I'm getting closer to the business end it's interesting to read everyones pre-labour/early labour symptoms as well!!

Hope you can hold out b456! Good Luck Jo and Rachael - Hope it all happens soon for you!

Alan - from what stage can you take the epo??

OK Trish

I don’t do this very often but……….

I will make your S/L a promise………………..

I promise………………………………….

Her baby will be born………………………..

It’s birthday:p :D :dance:

haha, thanks for your help Alan!

Your a smarty Alan :D HEHE. As long as he's not born on his cousins brithday I'm happy !!

Shorty, it was worth a try hun. ;)

Brooke, I can so hear you using that one girl.

After 36 weeks Take the oral dose as per the instructions on the bottle. And insert 3 high up into the vagina at night. Put a pad on because things can get a bit messy

Thanks Brooke :D

I will definately take the EOP orally, but I just can't see myself inserting them anywhere else! Especially if I do go into labour and then have all of this discharge I have to explain to the midwives!! I suppose they have probably seen everything though haven't they??

Good luck tonight girls! Hope SOMEONE has a baby in their arms by the weekend!!

Happy Birthday Tehya

Thanks Alan!

Thanks Louise :D

Happy birthday Tehya!!!

Thank You Jo :D

JoMarie
Don’t worry about heavy discharge. The midwives will know what you have been putting in there. They work much more effectively if inserted.

Thanks Alan. Hey, just one more question...my sister (a nurse) said the midwives she works with say that when there is a drop in barometric pressure they get all their heavily pregnant women coming into hospital in labour. This is her theory for me having my baby tomorrow, as the weather here is having a dramatic change and a major drop in barometric pressure due to the cyclones up north tonight and tomorrow. I figure this is something similar to the pressure on a plane??? I am really clutching at straws now I know, I am trying to think of anything that will make me feel better!!!!!

Hi JoMarie
I have never actually studied it but yes it is a common belief that is there is a storm on its way then maternity will probably get busy. If I see dark clouds heading towards the hospital I would usually go and make sure the birth suite was fully stocked

Hey Brooke - having exactly the same pains as you although mine so the opposite, are very intense about ever 2-5 min for a couple of hours and then stop. Send those vibes my way I would love to go into labour myself tonight before the induction tomorrow

I am going to go with the storm theory then! I am also going to go for the EPO tonight and see if it makes any difference. I was 2cm dilated when we went up to hospital on Monday night, so is it still ok to use the EPO?

Absolutely!!! It will help soften the cervix.
