Contractions since last night still not here.

Convinced i'd be holding my little bundle by now, he's due today and last night during the fixer i started getting regular contractions, they drifted off about midnight re appeared about 4am then went then came back at 6. between 9-10 they were regular again every 10 mins now they are just random! how frustrating, last time when i had Frankie it was controlled i had 3 inductions, 4 pessary's later and after having my waters broke he arrived, so i never had all this random stuff the hospital took over. Is this normal, i was wondering if it was braxton hicks, i never had them before either, but as i am due today i thought it more likely to be real thing and some of the contractions are making me stop in my tracks! hopefully i'll have news tomorrow. hope all your pregnancy's are going well x

How you doing?

Hi,

Just wondered if you were still around or if the contractions continued well and you now have your little one!

take care,

Hey

Sorry to hear about your contractions. Try to keep as active as possible, walking around etc. Keep eating too so when they do start again they dont fizzle out.

With my 2nd baby my contractions wernt regular for a good few hours & kept stopping & starting. I went for a good walk around Asda. Then at around 11pm i was getting them every 2-3mins walking around but every 5-10mins when i was on the birthing ball.
I went into hospital at 12.35am & i was 5cm. 2hrs later i was holding my little girl.
The contractions never got regular till i was 6cm at 1.30am. I also managed to talk thru them all thru the labour!

Happy due date & i hope its not much longer now.

Hi

thanks for reply, they've been more regular since 17.30 every 10 mins or so now, they feel quite strong, probably not tho its just i've forgotten how bad they get later, lol.
