[Closed] My wife is in labour.....

Could be worse. She could be a Tory

[i]My wife is in labour.[/i]

How much money has she stolen then?????

Just kidding! Good luck and there is nothing more you can do now. Your work has already been done! 😉

brace yourself 🙂

Best of luck!

And don't forget to bring a huge bunch of flowers for your wife afterwards - I think I got several years worth of brownie points for doing that 🙂

( I was out mtbing when I got the call - I've never ridden so fast though that wasn't great as I was absolutely knackered even before the whole process started...)

Good luck mate! My wife is 34 weeks today (twins) and every time the phone rings I think it will be her going into early labour!

Thanks all, the little 'un is 3 weeks early, so its a bit of a shock!

quick, get out on your bike! It'll be your last chance for some time.

Best of luck. Labour can go on for quite some time before anything starts happening, so run her a warm bath or two. And then get out on your bike :-).

Good luck and Best Wishes to you and your wife.

Wife is in labour and he's still got time to post on STW. Well done Sir!

Good Luck

Clearly a man with an STW forum addiction!

Let's see if he still has time when the nappies need changing and the baby needs feeding 24/7.

First few days is hectic as I recall.

Gas & Air.
Make sure you bag up on the Gas & Air.
Hehe.

are you sure it's proper labour. I think my wife had 2 or 3 false starts first time round.

If you're sure - settle in for a long day, and my advice would be to stay at home as long as you can, whilst not obviously leaving it too late.

And don't watch Sound of Music twice through like I had to.

From start of stage one labour to 10cm dilated can take around 8 to 10 hours. (You can tell who listened in the ante natal class can't you)?

Been sent back from the hospital. Its early days still but definatly happening!

Only reason i'm on here is that the bathroom is next to the computer room!

Fantastic news - and congrats to both of you!

Keep us posted - so what name have you picked?

Now what?

Get yourself to the cash machine, you'll have to buy everyone in the pub a cigar when you get the call to say he/she has arrived.

How exciting! Good luck and keep us updated.

Ah, that's what they tell you, but a friend of ours 1st born arrived 30 mins after going into labour! He was 6 weeks early too...

My wife went into labour upstairs and couldn't move. Unfortunatley I was asleep on the couch downstairs with the TV on. She shouted for about half an hour before I woke up apparently.

Good luck. Prepare for the best day of your life.

the very best of luck to you and Mrs PCB. Can't say that I enjoyed the birthing process, but I certainly look back and say that it was the beginning of a new chapter in your lifes.

So where have you gone PCB, or is it now in the serious stage where you don't have time to post here!?
Keep us posted ........

Enjoy the experience Pete.

And DO NOT hug her too close mid pushing, a bite to the nipple really really hurts!

See you thursday night then for usual ride eh??? 😉

Ah trust me on not reading the full thread.......

all my kids were early, eldest by 10 weeks and they're all as normal as me....

And now i've read the full thread.....the first bit of my post become relevant again..

Hey all, still at home 13 hours in.

superb - its a right adventure!

Hey all, still at home 13 hours in.

Your first one then! 😉

Get some sleep and memorise what it feels like to sleep in a quiet house. You lucky boy!

Hands up anyone who wants to know how far dilated Mrs PCB is.

I mean literally, hands up.....

I'm sorry.

Hey all, still at home 13 hours in.

I guess, though, that twelve hours after his last post with no news, that something has now happened...

Prepare for the best day of your life

Hmm, for me, sitting around for 20 hours feeling like a right spare part was hardly the best day of my life!

Judging by the radio silence from pcb, I think we can safely assume the babby has now arrived.

I bet his house is chaos and stinks of baby sxxt! 😆

Hmm, for me, sitting around for 20 hours feeling like a right spare part was hardly the best day of my life!

Worth it in the end though when one of these turns up.

I have some news............................

Harry - that is one cute babby! 🙂

Ta, don't know where he gets it from.

20 week scan on #2 tomorrow. Finding out what it is. It has been like christmas eve all week.

What is your news Sharki?

I had to wait a grand total of 2 hours and 36 minutes!

Still worth it though 🙂

la la la

First one about 4 hours. Mrs had lunch before a check-up in hospital for a possible problem. 20 minutes after lunch a twinge. Then another 10 minutes later, next one took 9 minutes. And she was off. Ordered her tea just before the stitching started after the event!
Second one took 5 hours and was more normal delivery, no salad tongs involved.

a grand total of 2 hours and 36 minutes!

Lol, I've had poos that have lasted longer.

Has she had it yet then...?
Come on PCB...hospitals have Wi-Fi dont they 🙂
Failing that, commandeer a nurses station.

Or do what I normally do....commandeer a nurse 😈

Good luck!

For the baby and not DeadlyDarcy scoring.

So do we have an update?

I'm working on that nurse...a few more drinks and she'll be mine. Not sure about the baby though 😛

LOL - DD I had no doubt you'd get your way 😉
