mmmmmmmm, anyone heard anything???? Do you recon she has popped yet????
Unless her or Alex comes on here I wont find out till I go to school on Tuesday.
Are you still there Briony or did Alex go over those Pot holes ;) ;)
Lea :)

Well, no reply, so maybe they are to busy with the new baby.

Lea :)

Hi,

No i've not had this b****y baby :-D .Its messing me around,thought I was going to have by teatime yesterday but it changed in mind and not for the 1st time.Midwives rushed out 4 times for it change its mind,luckily its a planned homebirth :-).However its very frustrating as i've normally had mine my babies well before due dates nevermind always one has to be different.
The contractions kick in at at every 2 mins and last for 2 mins ,so when the midwives get a call its case oh blankety blank ive got to go Briony better wait for us ,usually their on another visit or middle of appointment or last case middle of night.
Then after a couple of hours absolutely nothing.
Im quite tired as it taking alot of me,and I getting over a heavy cold at the same time which I think going around the schools.Spent weekend in and out bed having contractions not having them.

This morning jumped out of bed perfectly fine and took the dogs for their walk,caught up on housework
and guess what NOTHING ive tried everything.However frustrating as it is im allowing 12 days over then be induced actual due date is this wed however midwives expect me to go before then and quickly famous last words.

Midwives are not allowing Alex away from the hose by more 10 mins just in case I go pop especially as its number 5 and I wasnt meant to take dogs for walk but im so BORED .

Any news im sure Alex will post,he tells me to let u all know my whelping box is alread cheeky s*d.

Regards Briony :-)

Oh sending contraction vibes with a vengance ! :D

Must be a boy as it is being a pest already and hasn't even ventured into the world yet :D

Hope it is soon

Going upstairs sideways is supposed to help :D

Daisy

Sounds like strong Braxton Hicks contractions..I had them for nearly 2 weeks before having Conor (my 5th as well :D :D )

The one thing that is guaranteed to start labour is an early night!  And I don't mean to catch up on sleep :-) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck!

hI,

Hes here,all 8lb 2.

HE ARRIVED IN LESS THAN 2 HRS with no contraction pains until the end.I was just drying some towels
when i felt a pop just made it upstairs got Alex to call midwives arrived in 10 mins i was already 7cm gone without knowing although it took 45 mins to get him out normally only takes me 5 mins.

hes very lucky baby as there was a proper knot in the cord and fortunately for him it was above average in length ,one of thecauses of a still birth however we got him safely.NO BLOOD/FLUID TO BE SEEN no mess,no fuss i was even laughing during labour .rest of children just going to bed ,2 joined us after to meet their new brother.

we finished with coffee and mints.HE FED ALL NIGHT and slept most of morning.

we named him Harrison Trystan.

Alex said the whelping box can go away now til next time ,cheeky s~d.

Best Wishes,

Briony ;-)

Congratulations! I'm glad it went so smoothly for you both :)

Congratulations to all! That's fantastic!
:) :) :)

Oh wow!  That's amazing.  I would never have been brave enough for a home birth!  I also know to my families cost how dangerous a knotted cord can be.  You were very lucky.

Good luck and best wishes to ALL the family!

:-) :-)
