Hello everyone, have read but very tired, have copies to below from my bellybuddies group to keep you all up to date!

AFM:

Well can you be bothered hearing about my day yesterday??

Had a major run of BH on wednesday night that were very ouchy, then on thursday morning i was very dry reachy and threw up a few times (Now nothing special i know) BUT for me these are the ONLY warnings i get that baby is coming soonish. And seeing i was only 34+6 DH and i didnt want to just wait it out and see like we would do at 37weeks....SO off to the hospital i go! Monitored for an age. Showing lovely nice contractions, they OB and MW couldnt believe i wasnt in pain...I knew i was having them but nope not sore. So they do and internal YAY looovvveee getting my vjj out for everyone! SO it shows my cervix in very thin BUT closed (suffer for all those people that have told me this whole pregnancy that id be 2-3cm already and loss as a goose!) I refer back to our car converstation and confirm that i have the SUPER SPORTS MODEL of cervix!!!! So then they were all freaking out saying baby is coming....hmmm i didnt agree as i didnt have any of that "leave me the hell alone' feeling i get. SO they ordered steriods for baby - im glad im a nurse and could say no - as steriods dont work after 30-32weeks! and they ordered for me to stay in on bed rest! far out i have three kids at home! SO i agreed to an moving my US from next monday to yesterday. The scan showed baby fulling engaged (well hello i could have told you that from the pain) and that the cervix is vvvveeeerrrryyyyy short! Well didnt we know that from the internal - but gee thanks for one last date with the dildo cam to confirm NOTHING!

Anyway scan also showed baby back up to the 41% in growth, fluid down to 9... So nothing great but nothing to freak out about, well in my humble opinion!

So back to them wanting me to stay. My thinking was this is pre labour, this is why i labour so fast at the end is cause i have a nice week or so of pre labour. Not nice and yes i know baby could come but no i am not able to stay in hospital for the next week waiting to see when it happens.

So i came home (naughty naughty) came home, had panadol and a nice quiet 1.5hr conversation/relaxation message to my body that this is infact to early to welcome bubs and time to freaking slow up on the whole pre labour ideas. And guess what it worked! The OB said it couldnt be done but ha, i know my body and i believe in my own mental strength! I am not having a 35weeker! The chances of me going another two weeks are not great but not at 35weeks thank you!

But there are some good points. I know know that my cervix is closed so if they do an internal in a week and it shows im 4cm ill know that things are starting to happen and ill be happier with an induction! Their big concern is that i might never dilate slowly, with my history i might go from nothing to 10cm in minute, but thats a risk i am willing to take. Having the short cervix is not comfy and i was wondering if crumpet would lend me her stitch after thursday???

Also another good point is that DH is away now til monday 35+3 and then on leave for......wait for it......7weeks! Amazing, he went and talked to them this morning before he flew off to perth and they just said, dont worry here take more AL! Woohoo so the stress is off us now. DH will be home for the birth (well provided i rest as much as possible until monday night!) Hence i have time to write this essay cause im making the inlaws be grandparents for once in almost 7years, Its hard to rest but ill try to be good!

WOW did you get thru all that??
