Hi Danni K,

Thanks for your post. Still at home waiting patiently for something more to happen .

To be honest, the hubby came down with a head cold/sore throat yesterday AND we've got Brissie council elections tomorrow, so I'm wondering if bub has decided to postpone its arrival till (a) dad feels a bit better ... therefore being more help to mum in labour and (b) let mum and dad vote, therefore not copping a fine.

I'm still getting the odd period type cramp, but nothing as consistent as what I was feeling Tues afternoon. Having said that, I think I've been gradually losing my mucous plug over the past three days (sorry if that's a little TMI). I even think bub may have dropped slightly.

Anyway, being the ... ahem, "sensible" woman I am, I've spent all day cleaning inside the house and then sweeping up/cleaning around outside the house and our garage. Am now totally whacked, so here's hoping labour doesn't happen tonight ... I need a good night's sleep!!!

I read up on the strip and stretch, and I don't think that's what my Ob actually did. From what I can gather it would "feel" like she was stretching things, IYKWIM. I'm pretty sure it was a standard poke around to see what was happening with my cervix.

You're right, it's an exciting time letting nature run its course. I'm probably mad, but I'm really interested to see what labour's all about and how it unfolds for bub and I (hopefully without intervention of any kind!).

Glad to hear you're a bit more comfortable - who needs painful BH before actual labour???? You take care too and I'll let you know if there's some more "movement at the station".

Cheers, Andie
