So bit of an update on this baby malarkey. Had a show last night and very mild contractions. Woke up this morning and sat up to wee myself a little. Well turns out this isn't wee as I'm not that incompetent just yet. I'm thinking it's waters or more show but it keeps coming every now and then so I'm guessing it's more likely to be waters. The hospital ring at half 8 and say they can book me in for half 9 to have a measurement scan. Shit. Quickly call mother in law to take us, luckily she has the day off and we were going to do some last minute Christmas bits anyway. All good. Waters still coming. I feel like an old lady, any sudden movement is crucial!
Scan goes well and baby is looking a healthy 7lb 3oz give or take. But seeing as I'm not entirely sure if my waters have gone or if its a show I need to see the midwife. I have to lie on the bed, half starkers for 20 minutes. Thank god I said to Debbie and Flynn to stay in the waiting area or this would have been a bit awkward. Midwife is quite a nice older lady, she made me a damn good cup of tea. Perfect. She carries on with her bits and bobs, and I sip tea and feel the water trickling. Lovely.
Turns out my waters DEFENITELY have gone, but as my contractions are mild it's just a waiting game. If nothing happens between now and 7:30am tomorrow I have to go to a different hospital then planned and be induced. Not what I want at all. But I will have a Bubby by Sunday. All good.
This labour couldn't be any more different from Flynn's. As soon as my waters popped with Flynn (and there was no water to be seen) that was it. Excruciating pain and 2 and a half hours later we had a baby boy. Done and dusted.
So I'm just sat here waiting with contractions coming but not very often and bearable. Lee is out doing last minute Christmas bits. We've had to scratch some peoples off the list (sorry guys) as I want to choose them presents and have no idea what to get but I'm not moving from this house now...not with every movement resulting in more water coming out. Flynn is with Debbie, and then will go and stay with my Mum tonight to save the hassle of getting him there in the morning before I have to get induced. So I don't really have anything to do. Well that's a massive lie, as the house isn't exactly tidy and there will be more presents to wrap when Lee gets home but other then that I can't really do much or Ill be swimming around the house.
Let's hope something happens tonight or I'll have to scrap my nice water birth for a bed with wires in my arms and probably a lot more pain then a natural birth (so they say).
Come on baby! Do your thing!
