It doesn't mean you are a failure, or your body doesn't know what it is doing. Trust your body You aren't at your due date yet, and you know how things have gone for other people, things can change overnight! Jacob is gonna come soon, he just wants it to be a surprise. I bet he will be here sooner rather than later.

Huge and labour for you!!

Oh hunny, I'm thinking of you - sleep deprivation on top of it all is not good. And that midwife - what a crabby old bitch! You are doing just fine, in fact you are doing brilliantly so do NOT think you are failing because you are NOT!

Oh you poor thing. I really feel for you. I wish I had loads of advice for you, but I'm afraid I'm clueless!!
I really hope that things get moving for you soon though - it must be horrendous to be kept in limbo like this.
Big for you x x x x

Hiya Hun
Sorry to hear you're having a shit time of it. First labours are often long, but that doesn't make it any easier for you going through it..... I think that mw obviously missed the part of her training where it said you are supposed to support and reassure your patients !!!
Sounds like your bods doing something though, so don't be disheartened. The longer your body takes to prepare for the birth, the least damage you'll have when it happens... and I know how important that is to you Mirror at the ready !!!
Loads of for you... and what Lisa said is right... when you are really stressed and worried, it counteracts the release of the labour hormone. Try reading a good book... a bit of escapism is always good

Sorry you are having such a tough time and that lady at the hospital was such a bitch. But stay strong cos i'm willing to bet you will have your baby in your arms before the end of next week.

Ema

take a hot water bottle to bed aswell or like a lavender pillow or something, might just help you get a bit more sleep if you put it on the painful area or thereabouts. If it annoys you can alwasy fling it out!

watchin ya favourite girly film with the OH might help cheer u up aswell, or ugly betty's on at 9
