Had regular contractions 4mins apart, lasting a min. At some I went to bed to lay down, passed out. Contractions lessened (obviously), and now Im up and not sure what to do. I have a lot of downward pressure, Ive had more show, with blood. Now I feel lost, never had this before.
Im feeling a tad down this morning. A walk sounds good. Might even clear my head a little. I know tomorrow is induction day, I dont want to make it to that. Worse still is Im starting to worry that something is wrong and thats stressing me out even more, Im sure that isnt helping things along.
Sounds like a walk would be good for you in every way.
Is there anything in particular which makes you feel like something is 'wrong' or just normal pg worrying?
It's hard knowing you have a deadline for induction, but it sounds like things are already starting to happen so even if you do make it to tomorrow hopefully you won't need much to start the process and your body will do most of the work on its own.
Maybe take a long walk then lie down for a while and have a good chat to Sprout about the next day or two and what's going to happen. I reckon being in the right head space for birth is just as important as your body being physically ready.
i agree with nickle - go for a walk & hopefully that will clear your head. i know you don't want to be induced but maybe make peace with yourself & that it may happen. i know i was resisting my induction with DS all the way (as in, even during labour i was still annoyed!!) & i think that affected my headspace & my ability to focus on birthing a baby. have some nutritious food & a restful day
whatever happens, you're close to meeting your sprout & that's exciting
and if you're concerned about anything, call the hospital to double check - there's nothing wrong with making sure
