    ball helping a bit but i can't stay on it too long as i get a pain across the middle of my back :-(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Thumby


    Oh no :-( it's def not slow labour? I was like that on one of mine, didn't get checked out (it was happening from about 10 pm on a wed) by the time half seven hit the followin mornin it was really uncomfortable, had a little leak at half five but didn't think it was my waters because on my first they went in one massive gush,went to the hospital at about quarter past nine and i was four cm. My little man was born at 1.17 that afternoon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Thumby

    I'm 11 weeks now so have my 12wk scan next thursday. An excited and nervous all in one. Symptoms began to disappear this week but I'm hoping that's just the end of the first trimester. I just read minks birth story and it petrified the life out of me. I am in deep admiration of the ladies here, I'm not sure I can be as brave !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Thumby


    We all have good and bad birth experiences yellow hen but each and everyone is worth it, so don't go lettin our horror stories make you nervous. My 1st was a month premature weighed 8lb2 had shoulder dystocia and i'm now on my 4th lol.
    Has anyone heard anymore on betsie yet?
    How is everyone else doing today?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭Betsie_xr3i


    no im still here, i was left home for the weekend back in on monday and they will give me another sweep, do a trace and bp and will work on a plan from there, if my bp is high again on monday they will induce me then, im so fed up now but sure be ok once my little lady is happy thats all that matters :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Thumby


    Oh betsie, you poor thing, i'm guessing you're still doing everything ya can to start yourself, i wish there was something i suggest you try but i can't think of anything that hasn't been mentioned already. Fingers crossed something happens for you between now and monday.
