UPDATE 2:
Back from hossie....
2cm dilated, I have lost some of my waters. they sent me home cos I am managing pretty well with the pain. apparently I'm not in established labour, oh god what the hell is that like? lol, so if I don't go into that then they're going to induce me on Saturday!
typical contractions intensified and got much longer almost as soon as we got home... now put on the TENS machine though dont really know how to work it. still breathing through them, just about. getting a bit much!
not sure how long before i'll give in and demand OH takes me to get some drugs
UPDATE:
I called up the delivery suite and am going in to get assessed as I have an appointment anyway in about an hour. Contractions are now about 10 minutes apart fairly regularly...
WISH ME LUCK LADIES!!
if I'm not progressing much, they'll just send me home!
...
look's like we've hit a bit of a baby boom!!
I started getting contractions throughout the night, luckily I managed to sleep through most of them so got quite a bit of rest!
They were about 15 minutes apart by 6am and as close as 8 minutes apart now.
I also lost a huge bit of plug this morning and had a clear out (sorry, TMI!).. just wondering if its ok that I'm wiping away quite a lot of blood?
The contractions haven't got regular yet, varying between 8 - 15 minutes apart and I'm managing fine with the pain.
So wish me luck ladies!!!
also good luck emmie and labour dust to all you other due / overdue ladies!
