went to bed at around 10.30 last night and by 11pm i was getting strong contractions 4 mins apart.
So OH rings the delivery suite who tell me to come up and be monitored, get there around 1am contractions getting quite intense so the midwife gives me a massage for the pain in my back with clary sage oil & camomile(sp?) oil which helped through the contractions.
Then she suggested i get in the birthing pool to try and take the pain away from my bum/back stayed in there for about an hour and half, the contractions started to go away.
So i asked to get out as i wanted to keep them comin so i gets out and she asked to do an internal to see whats happening, my cervix was open not fully though, i have bulging waters but because madam is back to back nothing was happening and wasn't going to progress until she turns her head.
So i stay standing for abit and squattin on the toilet to try and turn her but nothing!
So at 6am the midwife tells me to lie down for abit and try and rest in between contractions, so i gets on the bed and within the hour my contractions had stopped completely!!!!! and nothing since!
So im home now without baby and on red alert! im fed up tired and frustrated but fingers crossed it progresses overnight again for me!
