Another huge gush, soaked pad, soaked knickers and pj bottoms, followed by a very intense pain in my back!

 

[MrsDuck]

Call the hospital cupcake, they have to believe you now xx

100% agree with mrs d!! And that intense pain in your back was likely a contraction Hun! Get your stuff ready coz I think you'll be going to hospital and not coming back til that baby is born!! Exciting! Oh and make sure if you can't update on here to just use fb or you know how I will worry lol! Just kidding Hun, just make sure you don't stress and worry too much, I'm so excited for you!
I actually just welled up again thinking about the first moment I saw Emilia!

Off to assessment, leaking all the time now, told me not to take bags as will send me home, but will anyway! Eek!!

 

[MrsDuck]

How can they say that without even seeing you?? Take your bags just in case
Good luck hun, it's so exciting xxxx

I'm really baffled as to why they think they will deffo send you home but I guess it's coz you've not had any contentions yet. But at least if they confirm you are leaking waters then they will do something if contractions don't kick in and you don't have to worry about infection. You know apparently most women's bp goes up just as they are about to go into labour so I have heard (bit of an old wives tale) but it happened to both my mum and MIL. Which seems natural really if your body is gearing up to give birth you are bid to have raised bp lol!!

My thoughts exactly mrs d, how do they know they'll send her home! Especially as she also had raised bp! Sometimes these healthcare professionals really annoy me!

 

[MrsDuck]

Me too, I'm sure it's just some jobsworth that thinks she's peed herself

 

[baileybubs]

Lol exactly! I remember my friend telling me when she went into labour she'd had contractions throughout the night, then during the day her waters went and she knew it was time to go in, the woman on the end of the phone was saying "your contractions aren't far enough apart yet and you can talk to me fine so you aren't ready yet" thankfully she ignored her and by the time she got into the hospital not only was she drenched and still gushing waters but almost fully dilated and her daughter was born 2 hours later.
Moral of the story, sod what someone on the end of the phone thinks and trust your own instincts cupcake! Better safe than sorry, we don't want lbcc being born at home lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yep if my bp is really high again which I think it will be cos I'm on edge now they may well keep me in, have everything just in case!

 

[MrsDuck]

 

[baileybubs]

Good, I think it's silly that they didn't tell you to bring your stuff just in case anyway lol! Eeeeeeeek I'm so excited

 

[cathgibbs]

How the f can they tell you not to take your bags?! Arghhh xxx

 

[SATH]

Sooo exciting lbcc is on his way. Hope you stay and contractions kick in. Will be thinking of you xxx

 

[CherylC3]

I'd take a bag Hun baby is coming

 

[cupcake1981]

Been sent home, didnt even need to speculum me I was drenched!

Started getting pains now.....

Scared!

 

[baileybubs]

Eeeeeeek!!!! So glad it's looking like its happening naturally! Do they agree its your waters now then lol!
What's the plan? Stay at home til contractions get going properly? Do you have to go back again in a certain amount of time if nothing really happens?

 

[baileybubs]

Do you have a tens machine? You don't have a bath do you? Doh! Just try and relax and try to sleep if you can, because if its starting you'll need it so grab it while you can!
