Real thing or false alarm?

I just got a call from my wife and she is getting a few contractions.
For those that dont know she is pregneant and the due date is the 14th of next month.

At the moment she is unsure whether they are just brackston hicks contractions (also know as false labour) or the real thing.
If you dont see me on tonight assume they are the real thing.

The most annoying thing is my car went in for its 60 000km service today, it wasnt due to next week but I put it in a week earlier so I didnt have to worry about her going into labour when my car was in bits.
Rung up the garage and the brakes are in bits so I cant get my car for another 2 hours.

If need be I will be 'borrowing' someone elses car from work.

Good LUCK Tony hope everything goes ok

Hope everything goes OK Tony, don't worry about the car, as you say, you can always borrow a car, have a joyfull and safe delivery if it happens.

Looks like you've been attending prenatal classes with that kind of knowledge,

I think being at the birth of your own children is the most amazing thing you can be a part of.

Cheers

Chris

Good luck Tony, another little steamer on the way.

I've gone 50p each way on wether it'll be a boy or girl.

Best wishes to the Missus.
MTA

I hope if this is the real thing all goes well.

I voted a boy as you said that he/she might be being born early, so I voted boy as they are usually quite impatient Although in my case I was lazy and born two weeks late!

Pass on my wishes to your wife
Sandman

Best of luck mate.

Hope everything goes well.
tmuir

Panic over.
I've got home and the contractions seem to of stopped for now so it looks like it was a false alarm.

It might be a girl as it cant decide. (No offence meant here )
The contractions have started again.

Not yet...... We are still not sure if its the real thing or not and contractions are still very irregular so its not time to go to the hospital yet.
Hopefully that time wont come at 2am in the morning.
Griffin

Tony, best wishes to you and your wife.
yosa

It's always the early hours mate.

Worth the wait though.
MooseMan

Tony, best of luck to the both of you (or the three of you, really)!

Best of luck to you & the misses!

Unfortunately its packed up in its box ready to be posted.
Was hoping to post it this afternoon but with all the fuss and worry about my wife going into labour I kinda forgot about it until it was too late to send.

Wife is still getting the odd contraction but still at random times so the baby may be born this weekend but then again it might not be.
James

Good luck mate

Ahh can't wait til it's me

Only a year and a bit and it maybe will be
Steve_S

Very best of luck to all three of you when it happens!

Ummm yeah apart from her name..where she lives...

All i know is that she's female and goes to Jimbo's school and better than the stalker
James

She drew a sheep on me pot arm, said is that ok, I said hmm how about a kiss to go with it and it turned into further stuff. Man I love being me

Trouble is, 16 is a long time away for me! And I don't know I can wait so long...
Steve_S

That's certainly a different chat up line... "how about a kiss to go with the sheep........."
James

Yeah well I already used up all the others
Steve_S

Whatever works!
James



I even used the crappy old corny ones ie:

Is that a ladder in your tights or is it a stairway to heaven?

Nope appears after 16 hours of contractions at random times they have stopped

Back to the waiting game again.

Which is lucky as as a member of the State Emergency Service I have an ANZAC march to take part in in 45 minutes.
SPOKESMAN

Good luck!

tmuir

You are?
Its a public holday here tomorrow and I'm not on call I wont to have a few drinks but I cant as I may have to drive to the hospital but it does look like a no go for tonight.
Sandman

Jeez mate. I really feel for you.

I hope the happy event occurs soon.

(I'm getting tired of bringing out the malt and puting it back.)

Well maybe not.. i'll leave that nervousness to you Tony

Another Tmuir Junior is on the way soon
James

Sweet, another Aussie
mc_mc

Fire up a few engines, if it's a boy perhaps the smell of meths might encourage things along. (it's in the genes)
MTA

Jesus tmuir, where do you think he/she got the indecisive gene from? I'll wait to send off the Wells bits off, you seem to have your hands full at the moment, so it will be one less thing to think about
Wallace

Good luck Tony. Our daughter was due on ANZAC day (today), but waited till May
Sandman

Any word yet Tony??

My fingernails are chewed up to my elbows.

When our first one was due she decided to be about two weeks late and my missus was getting pretty fed up....our doctor then told us to do the three "hots":

1) Hot curry
2) Hot bath
3) Hot sex

Duly did all three (the sacrifices you make ) and she went into labour that night.
oldstuff

What's a curry? Comb hair?
IndianaRog

Come on Chuck...you need to up your diversity quotient...curry is a spice at the core of most Indian food...strong smell and flavor.

I can take it in modest doses, but having a daughter who married a Pakistani (kissin cousins to the Indians geographically), I get treated to it regularly when I visit. It used to make me gag, now I just get a bit quesy!!!

If any question on Odilon's other "hots"...best check back with him!

cheers,
Rog
