Hello all! Hope everyone is well. Did you get lunch in the end Gill? hope you have had a nice afternoon either way. The weather is lovely here so I went round the house flinging all the windows open when I got in! Feels much better with a bit of fresh air circulating. Toulouse - sounds like you have everything planned out for the weekend. Make sure you get to enjoy some of it at least. Will keep my fingers crossed for your friend that she goes into labour soon. When I had my little one, my waters broke on the Monday morning but nothing else happened! Think he decided he was too comfortable where he was! I had to be induced and it was painful but not unbearable. I got though it with just gas and air. I think it is sometimes thought to be more painful because full blown labour is brought on really quickly when you are induced and you don't have time to get used to the pain! Maybe if you go through a completely natural labour you build up a bit of a tolerance -depends on your pain thresholds I suppose! I hope all is well for them both and pretty soon she will have a lovely little baby to cuddle!! Will try to pop back later. See you all soon. xxxxx
