Still on way to Hosp motorway traffic. Contractions are 10 mins apart and Jesus fk they're getting more painful. I've decided I don't wanna do it ahahah xD
Hoping they wont keep me in.
Gg the midwife on phone said she only wants to make sure baby is OK I think they'll just let me go for it and not try to stop it now tbf.

 

[JemRose]

Yeah PB I think if you're in labour then they'll just go ahead you're not overly early!

Keep us posted, excited for you xx

 

[KHTW]

So excited for you! You are going to be fine xx

 

[Shanivy]

Don't think they'll stop you either. Baby's going to be grand! Could be holding your son in a few hours eek....Good luck go get that gas and air hun!!! Xx

They sent me home at 2am, said I wasn't it labour and I'm just having BH. Well IDK what BH makes you have a bloody show.
I wasnt dilated and cervix was closed though.
Back up at 4 with in so much pain, only was asleep for 2hours minimum and was woken about 4-5 times with pain.
The midwives were saying it was bh the Dr basically wasn't sure if slow early labour, she made sure i was able to get back fast enough if it was tho. IDK why they said they have no cots in neo natal to would be sent to whatever Hosp has one. Like up to 50+ miles away

 

[PeanutButter]

So, had even more blood when wiping...
I cant even take the pain anymore, my fking back is in pieces. Why is my body doing thiss

 

[KHTW]

Oh PB I am so sorry hun xxx

You not being in labour is not a bad thing I guess but why would they not give you any pain relief for your back??? Can you try tens machine? There must be something that can help! X

 

[PeanutButter]

KH, I think i might be in slow early labour or something. Cos you don't get other signs with BH. Keep bleeding, going to the loo, feel so sick, completely off food, watery discharge sometimes with pink in it, so much pressure, when i have the pain i feel like something needs to pop.
It can take days apparently which is OK, closer to 36 weeks... But I'm.pretty certain these aren't BH. X

 

[Shepherdess]

Oh PB I was hoping to wake up to some exciting news. So sorry you've been in so much pain. Hopefully your "slow labour" won't be too long. When do you have to go back in?

 

[PeanutButter]

Supposed to go back in if i have any more blood, or pain gets worse/closer together.
Had more blood but gonna wait for abit because contractions are all.over the place but some are really painful. Closest they have been is 1 min apart, But then will be 30 mins apart so really nothing to.mak me go in.
Since 4am I have had about 30 though.

 

[KHTW]

Argh must be so frustrating! Hang in there x

 

[_GG_]

Oh my god PB, have you called them to explain how bad the pain is and what's happened since you left? Not having neonatal space and baby maybe needing to go to a different hospital surely means you should be getting monitored more closely. Would it not be better for them to just send you to the other hospital anyway?

Definitely sounds like you need help with pain relief.

Thinking of you xxxx

 

[KHTW]

I agree with GG! Call them and tell them you are finding it hard to manage the pain! I guess you don't want to be kept in the hospital because of DD? Maybe they can give you something to take home xx

 

[malagueta]

Aww PB that sounds so shit. If it is labour, I hope it speeds up for you. It must be so frustrating.

Definitely worth calling them though if you've had more blood and you're still getting pains.

 

[PeanutButter]

They'll just give me codine which makes me.off my face can't take as i have dd to look after.
Took some paracetamol it's took the edge off of some, and took the constant pain away.
Does anyone know what it means when i have contraction and the baby does really crazy movement???

 

[Shanivy]

Aw PB! I'm really sorry hun. I'd keep calling and telling them everything . In my notes there's a page from triage for the midwives when I was ill, that says if you call three times in 24 hrs for the same thing they must see you. Xx

 

[JemRose]

PB I'm so sorry you're going through this, I'd be petrified.

I think you need to ring someone as it really doesn't sound right! X

 

[PeanutButter]

So am gonna have a breakdown soon, dd had a nap at half 10 so I got the duvet and pillow and had half hour nap of settee, since I woke up I've had basically no pain... Had like little niggles but nothing painful. WTF. I'm still wiping blood when i wee tho. Says on google bloody show means labour should start within hours or Max a couple days... IDK what else the blood could be? Keeps changing from red, pink and brown sometimes stringy... Pink on my pad barely there.
Hubby and my mom are worries and want me to go in, but i don't see much point? Baby seems OK in there.

 

[_GG_]

PB, go in. Always better to be seen when not needed than not seen when needed. Any blood in tri 3 needs proper investigation and you have so much else going on as well. Yes, it might be the start of a very long labour but if you don't look after yourself now, you'll be too exhausted to cope with final labour when it comes. My sister had 20 minute contractions start on a Saturday and was sent home. Sent home again on Monday and Wednesday and by Thursday was induced and the consultant asked why she hadn't been in sooner. He was livid when he realised she'd been in that state for 5 and a half days.

Hubby and family can sort dd and she will cope. This is all about you and baby now xx

 

[JaneyJan]

Wow PB, sounds to me like you are definitely in some sort of early labour - inexperienced though I am. Doesn't sound that normal to me! Hopefully things will move and resolve definitively in either direction soon though. I've just had pangs of period like cramps in the last half an hour. Gosh, I know they say this can happen in the last few weeks, but I'm only 32+6, making me nervous!
