This sounds a bit mamby pamby too... a friend said to me when I was pregnant last that during the labour I should channel the urge to scream my head off into concentration on getting the baby out and using this feeling to push.

I did this, kinda and it helped no end.

I agree re the not fighting the pain thing too...we are complex creatures us humans!

that's what i did. i screamed while contractions made me feel better than breathing after a point lol, but when able to push i just went silent and pushed....popped out in under 3 mins
screaming can make your pushing weaker as it uses most of the energy you are using. sounds silly but it's true lol

i was told to moo

mooing is a lower sound than a shrill bloodcurdling scream so it focuses your energy down-over where it needs to be.

it worked for me in that i started laughing and relaxed a bit and felt less panicey

Why isnt c section optional???. I cant imagine going through the pain of giving birth the natural way

They're only optional if you have thousands to spend (go private) or usually for NHS if the baby is breech or the head/baby is too big to deliver naturally.

Don't worry though, if the thought of a natural birth (which millions of women go through over and over again) is too much then you can just cheat and buy one

Any news?

For all we know things could have speeded up and the bubba has arrived.

Wishing you well, Lisa.

I predict Lisa has had the baby and it is a boy weighing in at 9lb 2oz born 9.17am this morning

Nah...she's gone shopping.

probably taken someone's advice and loitering around tesco (if waters break there...free nappies for a year )
or cleaning someone's house

Still no news?

Apparently M&S & John Lewis give you the most freebies. I've been spending quite a bit of my weekends there.

I predict she'll have her baby in the early hours at 1.30am thats when i was born 49 yrs ago and it'll be a girl weighing 8lbs just like me lol

I'm still with child!

Pains are horrendous but just too far apart to mean active labour....have been shopping to Mothercare and had a KFC, got told I am way too mahoosive to be just having one baby by an ugly bint and told her,"Yes, but my affliction will be a distant memory in a week or so!!!"...... Pregnancy brings out the biatch in me, especially when stoopid people say tactless statements!


So the wait goes on! Thanks for the well wishes! xxxx

You did shopping and KFC??

Have the contractions got any closer or have you had a show yet? I remember Braxton Hicks when I was due, they were bloody awful so I can only imagine what your pain's like

Im here with me bucket waiting for the waters to go

Scrap the question about your contractions, just read your thingy again

I can't believe they are letting you suffer like this, surely they could do something to speed things up for you now.

Really? Why? What does that do....

oooh, tell all

Lisa, even though the pains are a long way apart but are very painfull, can they not take you in and do a C section earlier than friday then hun!

You should not have to suffer until then!

Oh and Lisa...

you are not boring people at all... we are all waiting with baited breath... think of it as a forum full of people doing the anxious dad pacing the corridors thing...

just want the happy bit to start, for all the worry to be over...

baby buzz week - you can't beat it.

I'm not 'bored' at all. I love reading how all the forum pregnancies/labours are progressing and always look for the happy news when Baby arrives

Hope we you don't have too long to wait, Lisa

Thanks again for the lovely posts everybody!

I went to my hospital appointment this morning and had a good check over, bp is ok, baby is very lively and they gave me my pre-meds that I have to take at 10pm tomorrow and 6am Friday....also shown the lovely private room I am being allocated (My consultant think my social situation, having an autistic child and another child too...will be better for all, I can remain calm knowing my son is contained in my room not running amok on a ward!!) for free!

Have to go back to labour ward at 9pm tomorrow for a pre-op injection and then will be admitted at 8am on Friday, by lunchtime at the very latest I will be a new mummy again! (Unless the baby decides to get a move on!)

Still having contractions, but nothing close enough to make me want to go to Maternity!

Great news Lisa......Good luck with everything

Woohoo!
Glad everything's progressing well, lisa

Not long now, Lisa
