Well I KNEW I wouldn't carry to her due date, but what quite a traumatic week!
This is how my week went last week -
Weekend of 11/12/13th I had my 'bloody show' and a slight trickling of water especially when been sat down/lied down.
Tuesday - Had midwife appointment for 36 weeks check up mentioned about show and waters, checked blood pressure was slightly high. Told probably a bit of 'extra' discharge but come back Wed for another check.
Wed - Check blood pressuer, back to normal. Had a risk assessment scan to check head down and she was 3/5th's engaged.
Fri - Back again, check bp all fine and still 3/5th's engaged. Next appointment made for Thursday 23rg August but told any probs go back/call.
I knew it wasn't discharge etc so wasn't overly impressed.
Sunday 19th - 4.30am - Up to visit toilet and had a gush of waters, bit of blood present so rang hospital advised to go in for a check, so made hospital for 5.30ish as 30+ miles away (couldn't use local one as still under 37 weeks)
No pains etc by this point, internal examine showed back waters had gone and 1cm. Sent home to return 9.30am next day if no progress. Long uncomfy drive home. Home for 1.5hrs and pains getting stronger but mainly me very worried about baby's age 36+3 so rang hosptial for advise, told to return if I wanted, so we did
Made it back, admitted and left to see what happened. Long latent labour but damn painful, some contractions were 40 secs, some 10 secs so jjust monitored. Maganed to sleep through the night in between contractions. BP Rose so given something to settle it
Monday 20th, Re assed - still 1cm! told if no progress by 9amish them something will be administered to help along, BP still risen but stable.
9am ish drip attached and given something to induce, a sweep and broke front waters. Told baby had turned back to back!
From then the pains were immense but bareable, had a nice bath etc. Drip does increased but no other pain relief, Labour goes into full swing.
12pm ish I tell the midwives I can't do this no more, way too painful, they assure me its normal etc etc etc
12.25pm inform midwifes I actually need to push! told no way wont be far enough on but I insist so the chack and wahey I'm 8cm
given the ok to push and then 12.49pm Hannah Anne Scott born 
She came out crying bless her.
Then I was aware of 5 midwives and a surgeon in the room, turns out I'd torn really bad and in total lost a litre of blood, BP extra high but hey I felt fine I had my little girl!
Let home Tuesday at 4pm so Meet Hannah Anne Scott born 12.49pm 20th August at 6lb 1 oz at only 36 weeks a 4 days!! perfect in every way
So what I learned is you know your body and do as it tells you
