Well here's an update of this evenings events!!
I have felt really tight all day and been having a few more braxton hicks the last couple of days than normal. When I saw my midwife on Thursday she said that the head STILL hasn't engaged, and if it was still at the same stage next week I have have to go and see the consultant to check that the head isn't too big. Althou she said they'll probably just leave it to drop anyway rather than take action.
About 9pm my waters started to go I think, just a few trickles (Im pretty sure it didn't feel like I was having a wee, sorry if TMI
). I spoke to Labour ward to give them the heads up as the midwife wanted me to ring straight away if my waters went as there was a slight risk of there being a prolasped cord. Labour Ward has said that I am to see how it goes overnight and keep an eye on contractions etc. Im having slight pains every 30mins or so, but only enough for me to notice the tightening and make me take a deep breath, not enough for me to call them painful!
So I am to call back at 9am tmw with an update on the nights progress, and they'll probably get me to go into the hospital to assess me. See if they did truly go and if so what stage I may be at!
I have to say that I really hope that this is it cause Im so fed up at the moment, and I really just want to have this baby! I know it'll happen when the time is right, but its just the not knowing when thats doing my head in! I'm one of these people that works well to deadlines and knowing that it could be tmw or could be 2wks time is a nightmare!!
Oh but on the upside FYI I found a website for timing contractions http://www.contractionmaster.com/
This has been really good to use as my otherhalf is easily distracted and keeps forgetting to check the time apart etc!! Have a look ladies.
