Had a weird day today. Had MW at 10am.
This morning I had some dark discharge, followed by some pinky discharge. The MW said it was a show. But it wasn't a lot, only when I wiped (and then later today there was a bit on my pad and a good tissueful when I wiped) Sorry if TMI!
Baby didn't move until about lunchtime (normally within 10-15 mins after I've had my tea and toast she gets the hiccups, every morning), MW said she thinks something is going to happen soon and that I should go home and rest (obviously I then dashed round town to get my TENS, round Tesco to get supplies and to B&Q to get protective sheeting). Been having quite a bit of back ache, though it eased up this afternoon (god dammit!) and is starting to come back now. She said if baby didn't move by 2pm to call the labour ward and they would get me to go in to be monitored, but she has been moving this afternoon (albeit a lot less than normal).
On Friday I went to see the nurse as I've been having back ache since last Wednesday at least (like PP) and I took in a wee sample. The same wee sample was sent for testing (I had a silver pot and a red pot). The silver pot showed Lucocytes and they said I had a water infection, the red pot results came back clear with no Lucocytes
So I don't understand why I have been in so much pain, especially when emptying my bladder.
I am still the same amount engaged (3/5) although I would've sworn the baby was lower, and the MW measured my belly when I was having a real bad BH so it was well huge and had grown 5cm since my last appointment two weeks ago. She also said my BP was fine when it was at a level my normal MW considers high. She was a lovely MW but I felt disappointed at not seeing my normal one, especially at this late stage. She really involved DH though and got him to feel the different body parts of baby which was nice. Normally my little bub jumps around when I have my appointments and it was freaky for her to remain so still, so I am glad that she's moved a bit now. And the MW called me later today to check and see if I'd felt movement which I thought was nice of her.
Kind of hard to explain how I am feeling now, I really really want to get the baby out now, and as she's told me that she thinks something is going to happen soon every twinge has me wondering whether this is it. I've definately been feeling more crampy, so who knows, maybe she'll be here soon. Though now I'm expecting something to happen I guarantee she'll go overdue and this will be the longest 4 weeks of my life!!
