what were u doing b4 u went into labour?

Well, the day my waters broke I had been to the gym and took the dog for a walk. Then I went over to a friend's place in the evening and ate an entire pizza to myself. I was lying on their couch watching tv and I felt like I had wet my pants so I sort of carefully rolled off the couch and stood up and it was then obvious that my waters had broken (luckily they had a tiled floor :lol: )

I was holding a team meeting...

The day I went into labour with Sarah MIL and SIL were over as I was booked for induction that day (she decided to come all on her own) and with Em I had just had a MW check and then about half an hour later I felt the first contraction. I rested as much as possible (Sarah had her nap then which was lovely) and only had ot deal with her for an hour before DH got home and let me rest again. we went to the hospy about 11 pm that night.

With my first I'd gone out to lunch with my mum then come home and ironed all DH work shirts and went to the loo and had lost some of mucus plug then went for a sleep until DH got home from work then I'd lost more mucus plug so went to hospital for a check and started having mild contractions from there.

Second I was induced so no help.

Third we were over visiting PIL's and had DTD in the morning before leaving and started having mild contractions, so we had lunch then went home, dropped the older two at my parents and went to hospital.

Fourth was induced because of pre eclampsia.

HTH. :)

I woke up in the morning in a really bad mood which continued throughout the day. I was particularly narky at DH !We laid mulch in the garden during the day and then watched DVDS in the evening (I was watching while sitting on the Swiss Ball and rotating the pelvis as I had mild contractions which I thought were just Braxton Hicks). We went to bed at around 11pm and by 2am we were on our way to the hospital as the contractions were coming every 5 minutes.

That said I didn't give birth to DD until 10pm THE NEXT NIGHT!

I was in bed asleep, then woke up and was having contractions every 5 mins (This was at about 1am). But, a few hours before this I had the BIGGEST craving for chocolate and made DH go to the local servo late at night to get some choccie bars and I scoffed the lot in about 2 seconds! :redface: I always think it was my body's way of getting a massive dose of sugar to give me energy for my labour.

No 1 I was sleeping - woke up at 7am.
No 2 I was sleeping - had gone to bed an hour before and woke up at 10:30pm.
No 3 I was watching TV in the evening. I had been out to the OB and then had a walk around the shops that afternoon though.

I was sleeping and woke up coz I needed the toilet. I discovered my waters had broken when I noticed my undies were soaked

I was sleeping :lol:
That said, on the thursday before (he was born on the saturday) i spent half the day walking around town and that night i had the most incredible pain in the joint sort of in my groin... i spent the next day in bed and slept nearly all day and then when i got up at 430am on the saturday to pee i had my first contraction at 5am.

I was asleep. Woke at 4am with ctx every 10min from then on. Stayed in bed til 8 then had breaky and began my day as usual!

#1, family bbq, followed by bumpy long drive ....8hr labour
#2 asleep, day after a stretch and sweep....4 hr lab
#3 within half hour of DTD in the arvo!!...2.5 hr lab
#4 in the morn, getting the kids ready for school... 1.5 hr lab
#5 just hours after a stretch and sweep... 50 min lab

So pretty much, when they were ready!!:lol:

Sleeping! My waters breaking woke me up...4 hours later DS was born!:D

Sleeping. My waters broke at 3am, ctx began right away but were mild and spaced 15mins apart so i went back to sleep in between them all until 8am. Gave birth on the same bed, in almost the same position (having moved around ALOT in between!!!) at 6.20pm.

I was on the internet:lol: telling everyone that I was sure my dh had poisened me since i had been up vomiting all night and it was then 4am then as I was standing to go to the loo my waters broke all over my lovely just steam cleaned white carpet:doh:

von: thats gotta suck about the carpet.

I was pottering at home and had just called to book an induction massage for the following week when I had my show at about 11am. I then tried to relax by going to the movies but had to leave and was having painful contractions by 2pm and gave birth at 7.30am the next day.

Baby #1 - folding washing and got contractions
Baby#2 - making DD#1 breakfast - started getting strong contractions
Baby #3 - had head in toilet bowl vomitting guts up. sent me into labour.....
