Me and the kiddies are fine at home, Dylan has been an angel and Bethany has been sleeping. I've spent all morning trying to ring and texting OH, he rang me back a little while ago saying he had been discharged, they didn't know what it was so he was walking home, but he was in agony again so he said he was going to cll another ambulance. Poor thing could barely talk
I've got a few appointments today which I'm going to cancel, going to make the flat all nice and tidy while I wait for news about how OH is.
Aw Wiggler sorry to hear about your OH - hope they get whatever it is sorted.
Things seem to be moving in the right direction for me. Loads more bloody show last night, overnight and this morning - fresher blood in slime (sorry tmi) with horrid period pains which had me reaching for the paracetamol in the middle of the night. Started to get what I can only assume are contractions early this morning - they're different to BHs (which I've had a lot of experience of!) as I can feel them coming on and are painful at the bottom of my bump. They settled a little (but didn't stop) when I had a bath but are now more regular - about every 7-10 minutes lasting 30 seconds. They're painful enough to make me focus on them but not enough to get me raching for more paracetamol on my tens machine.
I REALLY hope this continues but I'm not getting my hopes up. Sent hubby off to work this morning with instructions to try and not arrest anyone!
Fingers crossed! I just don't know at what point I should call hubby.
I know we'd previously agreed that if I though I was in labour I'd call him in case he got stuck on a job but I don't want to have him come home if it isn't needed.
Hubby didn't go to work the morning my contractions started, but when they start getting closer and need more focus on the pain it's probably time to come home. xx
Hopeful good on you milking it, you're totally right no time better than pregnancy and post birth to get spoilt lol I dont really have the option but to be a busy bee lol but I dont mind both boys are more than worth it.
George was up most of the night, I think he has trapped wind, he is burping ok, but seems to have griping aches and not as noisey as normal in his nappy so been to the shops today for some Infacol hopefully will break it up.
Wiggler- Said it on the other thread but hope your OH is ok!
Bizy- Good luck!
Span- It sounds promising. I had all that bloody yucky stuff just before i started pushing and my waters broke. I made DH stay at home but my contractions were ridiculously close together right from the beginning. At 7am they were 3-4 mins apart lasting 30-40 seconds and by 9am they were 2 minutes apart lasting a minute and we were on our way to the birthing centre!
Can you put up the link to the other thread, I cant find it
I had the bloody mucusy stuff about 2 hours before active labour, the show I had at home didnt come close to the urgh and amount I had right before the contractions stepped up a gear lol
Still passing the bloody slimey stuff. Contractions are generally getting a bit closer together (about 5-7 minutes) but still only lasting about 30 seconds. Are slowly getting a bit more painfull so I've caved in and called hubby home. I hope this doesn't all grind to a halt.
Span mine varied a lot in length some were very quick, others came went came went over 2-5 minutes then a break. Even in active labour my contractions didnt get regular at all. Hope this is it hun xxxxx
