Hi ladies + bumps
I had to go into hospital for monitoring on Sunday as I hadn't felt baby move much and was feeling quite ill. Everything was fine and was so relieved to hear babys heartbeat!!
While I was on monitor it showed I was having regular BHs. I knew I was having them but didn't realise how regular they were. MW thought I might be in early labour and did an internal but unfortunately cervix closed!!
Yesterday I had them all day, although they weren't regular they would be 3 mins apart for a couple of hours, then 10 mins apart for an hour, then 6 mins apart for 3 hours. They did start to get quite painful though and I started thinking it could be the start of things... so at 39+6 finished packing my hospital bag!
When I went to bed they slowed right down to every 20 mins and eventually less than that. I still felt them in the night when I woke up and this morning they've been every 10 minutes.
I'm hoping it's nearly time, although scared at the same time!! Is there anything I can be doing to try get them going properly and regular? Apart from keeping quite active?
