All great news Ella!
Oh I'm soo watching this thread...can't wait to see your BA :)
ETA - Dd had the peeling skin etc & was born 2 days after her EDD. She was obviously very very late... my point being that they get it wrong, sometimes and that works both ways. Hosp would have let me go another week before even considering inducing...luckily she came when she did. She was fine :)
ella - one of my very good friends is a chinese dr specialising in fertility and women's health. she does acupuncture etc obviously. she works at salus in high st... atm only 1/2 day a week bc she has a little one but if you want i can see if she would see you? if so pm me. xxx
hi ladies!
thanks to you all for your support and advice over the last few days, and thanks Preagainpan for the very kind offer, but it appears that i have FINALLY gone into labour spontaneously...
have been having pretty intense contractions since about 4pm and are getting really quite painful now (although not regular - gggrrr!!!), so fingers crossed i'll be holding my little son by tomorrow (am hopefully!)... brought our daughter over to the serviced apartment that my PIL are renting and dumped her there for a sleepover this evening, so now that i've got their hopes up and they've changed their flights (for a second time!) i'll hopefully be able to produce a grandson for their inspection before they fly home!!
god i hope this is not another false alarm!!!
oooooh! How exciting!!! :dance: strong labour vibes for you Ella!!!! Looking forward to reading your birth announcement!
how exciting!!! It sounds like the real deal hun!!! :hooray:
Looking forward to reading your BA in the morning. Do you have someone to post for you?
Good luck and I hope your labour and the birth of your little one is just perfect. :hug:
Yay! :dance: how exciting!!
Good luck can't wait to read your BA :)
I hope you are in the swing of things now!!
Looking forwar to the BA :) Good luck!
yay honey!!!! i cant wait to hear of your little boy's safe arrival....
Hoping that you are now holding your little bubba in your arms! :)
well, it was a FALSE ALARM!! i can't believe it!! i even got to the stage of calling the hospital and telling them that i'd be there in a few hours... the contractions were excruciating, but they got less and less regular, and are now only coming about every half hour!!
my DH has stayed home from work anyway in the hope that things might start up again... i've sent him off to blockbuster now so hopefully it will be either a) a nice relaxing day, or b) a baby birthing day...
will keep you all posted!
It'll happen soon honey -- the cx last night were getting things going. Try not to lay around too much get upright, go for a walk, have sex and curry for lunch - then watch a movie!
oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree it must have at least gotten things going...
enjoy your day... movie and a baby sounds good to me.
ooh I wish I could have sex and curry for lunch...:(
lol
:hug:s hope you enjoy your day either way :)
Hey. doesn't matter Ella :hug: it'll happen soon :) I agree with FC... try to stay upright... and from personal experience avoid relalxing soaks in warm baths until things are well and truly underway... I think I "stalled" a labour too by hopping in a bath too early.
Sounds as if you need the PIL to go home for things to start - are you brave enough to tell them to scoot?
Hun, same thing happened to me. We even went to hospital then they died off. However they came ack the next day at about half an hour and then by evening they were 3min apart and I had my little girl at 3am I was 13 days over and due to be induced the following day.
Hoping your little bub comes soon. :hug:
Lots of LV coming your way Ella
:hug: Ella, won't be far off.
