early stages of labour ( pre labour)

Wow, good luck with everything... if you stay calm and don't stress, hopefully bubs will do the same!
:goodluck2:

Tan, is it time to head back to the hospital to see what's giong on? Best of luck with everything!

Well here i am home again,
How very frustrating, hooked up to the monitor again, Bubs is a real trooper his heart rate stayed strong and he didnt stress at all, the contractions however still stayed at 5 mins apart but the intensity died down, I was checked out as my legs etc have swollen but all tests have come back fine. He has made a move down from being recorded as above the brim to now being 3/5th
Dr and midwives seem to think that the spotting and contractions has all been due to my anti D injection which i had on Tuesday.

So for now nothing is going to happen.

Oh, how disappointing tan! I hope things go well for you, glad to hear that bubs is still happy and healthy in there.

I so hear you on the frustration of waiting..... I am going mad! They have to come out eventually, right?!

[EJM]

What a frustrating time you've had... well, bubs probably knows that he needs to do a little bit more growing before making his grand entrance!!

[Janie]

Sounds like your bub is a smartie Tan! I'm glad he's hanging in there, as I said earlier, every day will make a difference

He is a clever little bub, a bit annoyed at everyone introding on his space, and fighting against the contractions, i think we will buy him a pair of footy boots cause he is a pretty strong kicker. Last few days he has had alot of practise.
Emma (DD) was a little upset we didnt have a baby today , but like i explained to her we want to be able to bring him home with us and not have him stay in the SCU, so this is the best thing for him.
Now if i can just ignore these contractions until they kick on.
