I called my H, doula and sister then I went to the cinema to relax in the aircon. My labour progressed out of pre-labour faster than I expected though and I had to head home about 40mins into the movie.
I sat around in complete denial and tried to read all sorts of articles on BB to convince me I wasn't in labour. I was only at 36 weeks after all!
Eventually, I woke DH and he called the hospital... we then showered, dressed, ate breakfast and hurriedly threw stuff into a bag (forgetting the camera!) as I'd packed nothing.
As for the legs and bikini line... meh! Didn't even think about it. When things really get going you don't care about the state of your bits. I never tidied up for my FS, and I wasn't going to tidy up for my OB!
well i was determined to get the kids back to school before i had DS2 so of course 9am on the dot as the kids are lining up to go into their new classrooms on the first day back at school- i get my first contraction! However i had made a coffee date with the mum's from school and i wasnt going to miss that, so i said goodbye to the kids and went off for coffee!! When i got there - cx were 3 mins apart- oops- had my milkshake, then went to the supermarket to grab some stuff for dinner for the kids, and then drove home. Thought i better as they were about 90 seconds apart by this stage- it was around 10.30. Rang DH, OB and hossy when i got home- they wanted me to call an ambulance as cx were soo close but i didnt want to.
Had a shower, made sure i emptied my bowel, and shaved and tidied up everything !
then i thought i better go to hossy! Got there about 12pm and had DS at 2.50pm!!! so plenty of time - was gonna go back and pick up the kids from school, but DH didnt think that was a good idea lol
Haha these are awesome
We were actually at the hospital when I realised I was in labour, but I wasn't progressing so we opted to go home. Of course I got straight on FB to tell everyone I was officially in labour, then ate some Yummy Noodle for dinner and watched Terminator 2 with DH before going back to bed!
When I got jolted out of bed at 3am with a shocking contraction that screamed 'This is IT!', the first thing I did was get in the shower and tidy myself up (for the second time that day lol, had to make sure I didn't miss any spots!)... then made a cup of tea before going back to hospital to give birth
