Hi girlies! Hope your all okay! Sorry not been on in so long! Ive been having a crazy few months and sadly am not trying anymore for babies! Which to be fair im quite happy about because the arguments be and OH have, i cant even see us being together by new year. Anyhooo, im here for moe exciting news...
My sister is 40+6 weeks now, her partner left her 4 months in, so im the birthing partner which is super excitng.
But weve come to a dilemma. Shes had 3 sweeps, the last one being esterday afternoon which she said was mega. really got her going. we went on walks after and bumpy car rides and then at 12am she started havinhg contractions 5mins apart. we went in and the midwife agreed that lucy was contracting really strong, but after an internal, showed she was only 2cm, something shes been since 39weeks. after that everything slowed down, shes havig contractions willy nilly!
my wuestion is, how do we keep it going? it all calmed down and they sent her home. I know its different for everyonce, but just feel so sorry for her having all these false starts.
i know its like saying how long is a peice of string, but after seeing her last night you would think it was defintly labour and for her to get sent home was heartbreaking.
anyhoo, sorry for the long essay. just need advice.
sending my love to everyone.
