Got home this afternoon and blood pressure is behaving again, so last weeks higher reading was a one off - YAY!!! His head is still down and all is well. Gosh this baby is actually co-operating for a nice change. Lachlan was a little devil being breach for so long, and me having high blood pressure and major swelling. Jumped on the scales tonight, only 11kgs - I am so pleased!!! Beats a nice change to the 26 I put on with Lachlan.

Today was a terrible day however and I was having contractions, which totally freaked me out! Well I assume it was contractions. I would explain the braxton hicks as being nothing like this and only tightenings and no such pain to go with it. Today I was in Mackay and contemplated not coming home, i was so confused. 3 hour drive - what to do, what to do!!!

Anyway this is the pain I had. It lasted for 2 full on hours and I would explain it as severe period pain all over my belly, but more intense at the top and pain in my back (more at the top as well). I didn't feel any braxton hicks but would say that i had the pain for the whole two hours with more intense sessions that took my breathe away and I felt like being sick!

In my eyes that is a contraction, would I be right? Tell ya what I was considering going naturally if he comes before my caesar date, but I now know full well that labour would be way more intense then today and today I hardly coped.

Just really scared now though, as for 1 I don't want a premmie baby and 2) live 3 hours away from the hospital 3) have no idea what to expect 4) don't have medical resources here and will need to have my caesar wound monitored closely.

Guess today really put the heaber jeabers up me!!! The contractions haven't happened again THANKGOD....

Just so confused and scared right now.

Guess this could also go on for weeks and I just can't afford any false alarms living so far away.

Please bubba just wait until I go and reside in Mackay at 37 nearly 38 weeks, then you can come early!!!

Now I know what you went thru Shazz with Ryan with all the contractions you were having, so draining! Guess I never had one iota of a contraction with Lachlan, so this is all soooo new to me!!!!!
