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!

[shazzi]

oh bummer...it must be hard, you have been through so much as a family waiting for this little one. Have no wise words so just sending hugs.

[Cassius2]

oh wow! hope you guys are all holding up ok xx this must be quite exhausting for Sal...3-4 min contrax can't be fun for that long...

sending big big to you all xx

[Early Kids]

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.

[Dedicated Doula Gillian]

Gently does it!!!!
All in good time....
You've been so brave this far - trust me it'll be worth it.
Keep an eye on bab's movements and trust the process

[feeb]

As annoying as the emotional rollarcoaster is he is doing the right thing staying put!!!!

Good luck, hope you can all get some rest.

xoxo

Thinking of you both.

WOW you guys, what a week. Your wife sounds like she is doing a phonomenal job of keeping your little boy safe, her body must just know that he needs to bake a little longer . And you sound like you are an amazing wife also, keeping the sanity. I bet little Charlie is super duper excited to meet his little brother. We wish you a safe journey, however much longer it may be.
