ok so i'll start yesterday where i was getting increased dc, trickleing feeling stuff. during the night it was happening when i got up to go the loo and was almost like i was wetting myself a little but had no control over it.
went to college today as usual and wore a pad, only slight yellowish dc on it but felt the odd trickling sensation during the day. had a mw app at 5 and mentioned it to the mw which caused her to send me to the hosp to be checked over in case it was my waters trickling.
so off i went after getting my OH to come with, got to hosp and was put on trace and asked about movement. i said that i never really felt her move much since ive been preg but ive never worried as ive always got her to move when ive wanted her to. had a speculum exam and got hb and movement monitored for a bit while being sat on a pad. couldnt see any pooling of waters or anything so mw took a swab and sent it off to the lab.
then the dr came in and asked a bunch of questions about movement and how it wasnt the first time id not felt much movement, i think i finally managed to get him to understand that i have never been too sure of her moving much and usually have to resort to cold drinks and lying down to get a response. so he says since im term + 2 i can have a sweep and they will bring forward my induction and have me monitored every other day til baby is born. he went away and checked it out and there was a spot for tomorrow so im booked in for that.
needless to say ive had a sweep this evening, mw got a fingertip in and my cervix was 50% effaced, soft and stretchy so she did a decent membrane sweep and could feel the head and im booked in for induction at 8.30pm tomorrow!!!!!!! im still in shock a bit i think but yay, baby will be here sometime this weekend and i cant wait
