Congratulations on the birth of little Evie gilly, I'm so pleased for you as I know how much this baby has been longed for.
We're in the ant-natal room with contractions coming regularly. Waters broke at 5.20 or so this morning, but this baby doesn't seem in any hurry.

GA Thinking of you and wishing you a safe journey it won't be long before you hold your new little one.
We are still waiting for our Grand DIL to start labour she has been having slow labour since Thursday her due date was Saturday she has been to hospital twice and sent home as they said she was only 4cms,so we expect to hear something soon poor girl is exhausted and my DGS is a wreck but has gone to work this morning whilst we baby sit my GGD and her sister stays with her she has been told to not go to hospital until her waters break.

Bumped!!

Hope all goes well grannyactivist

All the best, ga, let us know how things are.

Thinking of gilly and her daughter.

Just got a phone call, my daughter's waters have broken and her contractions have started. I'm off to Dorset.

I've been awake for the last ninety minutes and try as I might I can't get back to sleep. I'm thinking about gilly and her daughter and hoping (and praying) that all is well.
My own daughter is now overdue and very tired and apart from Tuesday I have a very busy week ahead so dashing over to Dorset at short notice may prove quite difficult, but she wants me at the birth if it's at all possible.
In other baby news there are three young couples I know who are all at the three month mark in their pregnancies and I'm slightly unsettled after what happened to my foster son and his wife. One of the couples are the parents of a four year old who is severely autistic and they also have a one year old, they're going to find it very tough I think.

Just got back from my church meeting and dashed over to my laptop to see if you'd posted gilly. Glad to see your update, but sorry you're not much closer to meeting the little one yet. I know you'll be anxious, that's understandable, but I do hope you and the parents-to-be manage to get some rest tonight.

All the very best to your DD and you, Gillybob. X

All the best to your DD and to you gillybob.

Sending kind thoughts gillybob

I was induced with pre eclampsia with DD2 and it took ages. Induced at 8am on a Wednesday and baby born 7.30pm on the Friday. However I was not in pain at all until after lunch on Friday. I had a midwife who insisted in removing the pressary at 10pm because "mothers need to rest and sleep". I couldn't even get my waters broken until after lunch day 3 because the cervix was "unfavourable" - but it all started to happen after that!

So my labour was - depending on how you look at it
- just under 60 hours
- 5 hours 30 mins (the time when I had proper contractions

Hope that your DD is able to get some sleep tonight Gilly and that it speeds up soon

Oh dear. So sorry its turned out to be so long drawn out. Hope things start to really happen soon.

Oh dear, I hope things move along tonight. Sending {{hugs}}

Sending best wishes, gilly
