So glad that something is happening for you. Here's hoping that you are labouring as I type! Can't wait to hear your baby news and celebrate bub's arrival
Hi girls!! I felt a few niggles around 9pm last night so they put me on the monitors as my partner & mum were supposed to be going home. I was having 3 contractions in 10 minutes that I had to concentrate through, lasting around 40 seconds. The doctor was supposed to examine me at 11pm but they decided that since I was contracting they would give me 2 panadine forte and a sleeping tablet and send everyone home for some rest. Worked a treat as I got around 5 hours sleep, only waking occasionally because of a pain. They seem to have dropped right off now only lasting around 20 seconds and easily manageable. The midwife said last night she thinks the doctor will start induction this morning with either a membrane rupture or the drip or a combination of the two. I hope the gel did enough so that they can break my waters as they didnt even check me last night to see if I needed more gel applied
So now I'm going to jump in the shower, have a nice hot cup of tea and some breakie and prepare to meet my little man today!!

The midwife has just come around and said there are 4 women in labour and it isn't looking good for them to push me into labour this morning. Now i feel like having a big cry. This is so unfair.
go for a big long walk, go outside and get fresh air, have a big cry if you want to, talk to your baby, it might help kick things off and it has to be more enjoyable snd better for your head than sitting in a room.
How is the monitoring going on bubs? Are they still moving around?
I agree with the others, if you can get out and get some fresh air it will help. Also move around as much as you can. Moving will help push things along and keep things moving.
Sleep is also a good thing because if your little bub is coming today you may miss out on some sleep!
woohoo for things starting to happen! Go baby and mama!
Are you feeling ok physically? Not too tired? If you are feeling pretty good I'd keep moving, a nice leisurely walk in the sunshine, if you have a fit ball there maybe some bouncing if that feels comfortable or sort of rocking into it, moving your hips lots to get your pelvis nice and elastic and ready for channelling a baby.
'Smith Alexander' was born today in a very dramatic and traumatic way for all. He is healthy and snuggled up with his daddy. I will put up my birth story in the next few days!
Oh Jessikah, congratulations on the arrival of your little boy I'm sorry it didn't go well, I look forward to reading your birth story and hopefully seeing you heal from the trauma Welcome to the world, little Smith, your mummy's been through a lot to bring you earthside!
