At about one this morning the OH started getting what can only be described as labour pains.

She rang the hospital who told us to get there as fast as possible, and as Im as blind as a bat we phoned her sis who took us into Leicester to the infirmary and....

Nothing...

We were there until about 4.30 she sitting there with monitors on her belly, her sis sitting next to her and me... well, I was messing about as usual, making them laugh which hurt the OH because.. well, laughing as youre in labour or getting the pains... not nice. It got to a point where she couldnt look at me, especially when the midwife was in there because I was... being me...

The last pregnancy she had held quite a few false alarms for us, if I remember rightly there were four trips to and from the hospital for nowt, but this one is the first one of this pregnancy.

Because the OH has too much fluid in her womb, she has to take each contraction seriously because theres a danger that the presure will force the umbilical out first if her waters break and thatll be lethal for the baby- mainly because we`re so far form the hospital.

That means theres a chance of lots of false alarms... the entire family are on standby, cars at the ready to whisk us to Leicester, teens ready and waiting to do the babysitting thing and neighbours ready to flit as soon as my back is turned...

So, poppets....

False alarms.... How many have you had? How long did it take to drive your partner into a nervous frenzy each time you said the word "Ow!" ? What arrangements did you make? Did all the planning work?

False alarm (possibly) number two looks as if its rearing its ugly head... shes doing the "Ohhhh here we go again!" thing.

Ahh poor mrs wocky, I must admit I never had any false alarms with my 3, it was just a case of "ouch", then a gush then not too long after baby was born.

Shes always doing it. I called her an attention seeking pig and she...


She bit me.

Aparrantly, and according to her, Im an inconsiderate, selfish swine, would you believe that???

I didnt know that pregnancy could make women so nasty.



:D

Oh yes, been there, done that, bought the inflatable lady :D

12 years ago with my first I had 3 false alarms. 3 Sundays on the trot! I still ended up going 10 days over! Good luck to you Jabbers (and Mrs Jabbers obviously!) that the latest little wocky arrives SOONER rather than later and that it all goes OK! XX

I had non with my first two. When they decided they were coming they were definatley coming. With baby waxy is was verging on losing my sanity. Thinking for goodness sake I should know with it being my third. I was in and out of hospital. My mother in law and her OH even nicknamed her yoyo when she finally arrived. To be fair it was pretty fast when she did eventually make up her mind. :D Goodluck mrs Jabber

My late wife was overdue with all our three, but on each occasion when she went to Hospital the '' Hospital Smell '' started her without any recourse to induction.

I hope that all goes well -- have that Snip man, if I could have it for you I would, it really is nothing.

(having said that I hate going to the Dentist).

:thumbsup:
