Its really made me think about the birth big time lol. They basically prepared me for delivering the baby and I was just thinking "but nothings ready"!!!! I didn't even have the beginnings of a hospital bag, o/h had to run home and to a rush job on it for me. The baby's was done but not mine so it's given me a boot in the bum to get prepared. We've sorted out the nursery too into an acceptable state, bar a wardrobe that we are still waiting on from bloody mothercare.
So I now have my hospital bag 90% done, I'm adding to it as and when I think of different things but put it this way if baby decided to kick off again I know I'll not be going short of things in hospital now!
I have been signed off work for the rest of this week, til Wednesday next week. I am just going rest-up and see how it goes. I get the odd niggle but I think that's totally normal for my stage of pregnancy. I was reading my maternity notes last night to try to make sense of what happened:
Baby's head was 2/5ths engaged, I was contracting every 2 minutes, I was 80% effaced and 2cm dilated with bulging membranes. I can't believe I made it that far into labour
Anyway I have an appointment with my consultant on 7th November to see where we go from here. My placenta is still very low, I don't know yet if this will result in a c-section or not xx
