Unfortunately sleep is no longer compatible with my shape and need to go to the toilet non stop!
Been to aquanatal this morning, the instructor could not believe I was still there! At least this time I knew it really was the last time as will have my baby by tues at latest!

Yeah true. I forget how uncomfotable it is to sleep and the non stop toilet trips I do not miss the constant peeing. The amount of toilet roll I went through whilst pregnant.

Take a bucket to bed with you... sorted! Haha messing, thats gross xD

 

[MissFox]

Jen- rosie sleeps great but I'm still so tired! Soon though!

 

[chocojen]

You ladies make me laugh so much!

Well last attempt at a sweep today so fingers crossed please everyone, I really want to avoid induction!

Will keep you all posted, thanks for all the support xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[CrazyBird]

Good luck hope it works. I wasn't lucky enough to avoid induction but at least you know your little man will be here by Tuesday.

 

[lilgemsy]

Good luck Jen! xx

Well just back from thehospital.......no change in cervix, still 1cm dilated and still cervix is a long way back. I am sooooooooooo dissappointed, I ahve lost LOADS of mucous plug this morning and had a definite bloody show so had been really hoping for more positive news on the cervix front!

Also my BP has started to climb so they are thinking I may not be able to have the baby at the low risk birth centre. Apparently it is not worryingly high but they worry that it will go higher in labour and then I would have to go in a blue light ambulance to be transferred to the obstetric unit.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Have to go back tomorrow to have it rechecked. Not happy!

TMI WARNING>>>>

also having loads of clear discharge....is this normal at this stage?

if it's enough to drip down your leg if you didn't have anything catching it, that's your water hun. i thought the same thing that it was just discharge but was very mistaken!

 

[caro103]

glad midwife isn't concerned today chocco hun!

err, not sure about the discharge thing, don't remember any. But my water never went naturally! maybe this is the start! xx

 

[DanaBump]

it's not just the start, if you're getting what i think you're getting you need to go to the hospital asap.

 

[lilgemsy]

Jen, good news about your BP
Not sure about the discharge but FXd its the start of something. Maybe get it checked just incase though? x

 

[MissFox]

GOODLUCK JEN!!! Even if its discharge it sounds like things are getting going! Its mothers day in the US tomorrow- you could have a mothers day baby!

 

[chocojen]

Thanks ladies, dont think it is my waters as it has been for a few days now and it is too thick (sorry tmi) for that.

HOWEVER.....I do think something may have started, like I said I have been having tightenings for a few days now but since yesterday evening they have been much more regular and lasting longer. I have not slept much over night as I have had more pains they are in my back and tummy now and the whole bump goes solid.......please please let this be real-induction is booked for tomorrow!
