    Sorry everyone, no baby today!
    Sal had strong, 3-4 minute contractions from 1pm yesterday, they moved her to the birth suite from the ward upstairs where she had spent the night, at 6.30pm They finally did an internal at 11.30pm to find NO CHANGEfrom the Sunday night! Grrrrrr, still 3cm dilated with bulging membranes but contractions weren't strong enough to dilate her further.
    Anyway, 'home' again in the caravan, Doc's say that it's easy to break your membranes at this stage, so it will hopefully happen in the next week or so. Happy he is still safe & sound, just struggling with the emotional ups and downs!

    WooHoo for almost 34 weeks!

    I do understand the ups and downs though. I went from 28-30+1 with Brendan in and out of labour and then again with Tristan from 26 weeks until he finally arrived at 34+3. It definitely is a good feeling having a bub that cooked longer, even though still prem, the experience is totally different the second time around (if you have a later gest bub)

    All the best for the coming days.
