wooooo i am in labour :D:D:D:D

[Sassyminx]

well i took my midwifes advice, got some raspberry leaf tablets earlier, only took 2, and also thought well might as well have a bit of sex, anyway, after the rumpy pumpy i stood up and whoooosh



wasnt quite sure if i had wee'd myself but as i had been to the toilet had a feeling that it was my waters

rang the delivery suite and the midwife told me to come in for an examination,

got there and there was waters running down my jeans, which didnt feel too nice

sat on the bed and whooosh flooded it a bit more, got some really fetching disposable knickers to wear, and a really REALLY fat pad....

had an internal exam and she confirmed my waters had gone, and that i was 1-2cms dilated.....

went on the tcg for 30mins which confirmed im contracting but cant feel it, midwife said i was allowed to come home, and try and keep active.....

gotta go back in 4pm monday for an induction if it hasnt started before then, but the downside is ive only got until 8pm tomorrow night to get to 5cm or im not allowed a water birth due to the risk of infection

im getting a few twinges, but nothing spectacular, hopefully after bouncing on my birth ball for a bit it will kick start things

 

[budge]

get bouncing chick!

 

[Misslarue]

Yay! Go on hun. Good luck!

 

[Sassyminx]

im bouncing as i type having a cup of hot choc, ive got a nice incontinent pad to put in my bed for tonight, should be interesting

im dead excited now, really cant wait, i just hope i can have my water birth or ill be gutted, though i guess as long as bubba is born healthy i cant complain

 

[budge]
