Hi!
I remember feeling a bit nervy after my 39 week check up...my ob/gyn said -and did- a few things that didnt sit quite right with me , so that was also on my mind. this occured on a Friday afternoon
On Saturday morning my DF and I drove up the mountains to house sit for a friend while she was away. There was some gorgeous rainforest walks in the area (Mt glorious/Mt Nebo) so I took a few of them! They were quiet long walks and immediately I started having contractions every 10 mins. I felt a bit seedy or topsy turvy in the guts too. Contractions kept going thru Saturday night's meal at the restuarant , all thru the night and all day Sunday aswell. Couldnt quite rest well.
On Monday morning, which was the B-day, I felt soo crook! As we were driving back home. I felt incredibly hot and needed to go for a swim. This was a tad strange as it wasnt really that hot of a day! DF and I stopped by Southbank (brissy) and I jumped in the lagoons. The water was bliss! It was cold, but great!
A few english backpackers commented on my bravery for going in, as I was one of the only people in the lagoon, just *trying* to float around.
Within 15 mins of me exciting the water, my waters gushed....Im SOOOO glad I was still in my boardies!
That occurred around MIdday and C was born at 11:18pm on the same day, Anzac Day!
