Have been out all day until now and wondering how things are gilly. Sending good wishes for a safe delivery.

Sadly things not much further forward than they were late last night . Still in slow labour but 2 x 6 hour pessaries later waters still not broken ( and not able to be broken manually ) . My poor DD is worn out . Doctor coming back at 10pm . It’s going to be another very long night . X

Gilly, your poor daughter and you too must be so tired, try to get some sleep, you are in my thoughts as is your daughter snd her baby X

Thanks for the update gillybob, I'm not the only one who will have been wondering how you all are.

I do hope your daughter is ok. Exhaustion early in labour is just not what you need. Sending love and positive thoughts x

Thank you for thinking of updating us gilly. Sending you and your daughter positive thoughts.

Sending best wishes, gilly

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

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

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

Sending kind thoughts gillybob

All the best to your DD and to you gillybob.

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

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.

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

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

Thinking of gilly and her daughter.

Hope all goes well grannyactivist
