Good luck sweetdot!
Yesterday was a god awful day
My pains started getting a lot more frequent, I had constant back ache that wouldn't go away and was running to the toilet every few mins to be sick but I couldn't bring anything up.
At 5:30 I called OH to see where he was as I really needed help with DD to find out he was stranded in Cardiff!! His work had an emergency call out in Swansea but he didn't go as I had asked him to come straight home, but that ment he had to be dropped of at Cardiff train station to get home as the other people he was working with needed the work vans to travel to Swansea.
He managed to get on a train only for it to reverse back into the station as there were cows on the line!!
I had to do DDs tea and put her to bed whilst trying not to cry with t he pain (and stress of possibly being in labour ALONE)
Tbh I was starting to panic which was probably making the pain a lot worse.
Luckily OH got home at about 7:40pm, he found me in bed in agony which I think surprised him as I had only told him I was feeling poorly, not that I was having contractions (I didn't want to worry him while he was so far away and stranded)
At about 8:30 I was sick BIG TIME!!! It just wouldn't stop
It was now I decided to call labour and delivery as I needed to know if I was in labour or poorly.
The lady said it sounded like the start of labour but this could fizzle on and off for a few days and to give them a call back when the contactions were 5 mins apart.
At around 11 my contactions were more regular and I had been sick AGAIN so I called L&D back who said my contactions needed to be 5 mins apart and lasting at least a min each to come in.
By this stage I was exhaused to decided to try and get some sleep. I managed to get the occassional 15 mins before the pain would wake me up and I needed to run to the bathroom to be sick. At around 2:30 I was sick again and it was horrible, it just wouldn't stop
I ended up wetting my self which was quite embarrassing.
I called L&D back more bacause of the sickness not because of the contraction pain. I can cope with the contactions but not the sickness.
The new MW on L&D didn't think I was in labour but finally agreed to see me if only to find out why I was being so sick.
Me and OH got to L&D at around 3am after getting someone around to look after DD. They strapped me to a trace and left me for about an hour. I was still getting regular contactions which the machine was picking up.
I did a urine sample which found high levels of keytones which showed how dehydrated I was.
A Dr came in to see me around 5am and said I wasn't in labour and that I most probably had a urine infection, which was causing tightenings and the sickness.
I was sent home at 6:40 with some antibiotics.
We got home around 7am and I was VERY sick again
DDs nanny is watching her this morning so me and OH could get some sleep. Since I've woken up I feel a little better and I've managed to keep down a glass of water and a piece of toast BUT I'm feeling very sick so I dont think its going to stay down for long.
I have a MW appointment this afternoon, I think I might ask if she can examine me as I can't believe that last night didn't do anything to my cervix (and the hospital didn't check it either)
I'm still getting tightenings and my tummy is very tender from all the vomiting.
Sorry for the rambling. I really thought I was going to be coming home with a baby today
aww hun hope its just a bug that passes ,
