Telly - thanks for the pep talk this morning, I sooooo needed it

Ferrals - Welcome home hehe!! I hope you're recovering well, can't wait to catch up more and hear all about Ella.

Everyone else - thanks for the vibes!

AFM - Well the news you've all been waiting for : apparently I'm in early labour. The hospital asked me to come in and it turns out my waters are leaking. Not the most pleasant feeling, ew. I'm also dialating but they didn't do an internal after they discovered my waters are leaking in case of infection, but she said she could see it was opening. Yay for that. They gave me my options, as ctx were 5mins apart and showed up beautifully on the ctg. I decided to come home and wait for things to intensify rather than be induced or wait there in the ward. I had lunch, and a hot shower followed by a lovely nap. I was disappointed things weren't really happening, but as soon as I woke up and tried to get up I realised I was having a ctx. DP says I'm doing well and was as surprised as me that I really am in labour, as we're still able to carry on as normal except that I stop and grimace occasionally, lol.

So far so good! One particular midwife commented on the way I was smiling and laughing while I held my belly and said owww. We'll see how long I can keep that up, lol. If I don't need to go in tonight, the mw said to come back in the morning.

Next time you hear from me I'll be a mummy! Until then, stay tuned for Tellytubby's announcement on my behalf.
