Well I didn't get to the park. ON my way out the door the midwife rang and asked me to come in. When I said legally - I mean the hospitals rules, and they wanted me to come in for monitoring.

So I was in there from 8:30 til about 11:30. Had some wins and some boos.

Everything is fine, baby is responding the way its supposed to, but contractions are very far and few between. They did a swab, and its definitly an amniotic leak, so they have said since it had been 32hrs, I had to have IV AB's and get admitted. Luckily my midwife and I convinced the drs that I could get a bung put in, get my AB's and go home, but I have to do my own temps and go in every 6hrs for more AB's.
Then tomorrow morning if I haven't gone by myself, everyone agrees that its the best thing to admit me, start me on the drip and begin an induction, so I've got til then.

After the dr left, my midwife said that when I come back in at 4:30 for the next round, they might be happy to either ARM (becuase she too thinks its just my hindwaters) or to membrane sweep, and maybe that will get everything going again. She wasn't prepared to consider it unless I had the IV AB's, adn at least 6hrs cover before having a poke around.

They aren't prepared to leave me any longer than 96hrs from Friday morning 2am, so Sunday morning is about 50hrs, which I guess is a pretty good nudge. And actually they might allow me to be admitted, but not be induced til a bit later on Sunday arvo if things are still all OK.

The fact that I'm constantly having dull achey pain is a positive, with occasional contractions, so we are almost there naturally, just cant quite win.

I'm going to have a rest, and then pound the footpath and some stairs this afternoon before my next appt.
