Nope.

Contractions got to 2-3 minutes apart in the car and then promptly stopped dead when I got to the hospital. After a little bit of monitoring, they sent me away, but wanted me to stay close by just in case.

The little one is firmly pressed against my cervix (the midwife was actually a little shocked at how low he is) and I am dilated about 1.5cm and ‘very stretchy’.

I’m having bloody show again and I don’t think it’s because of the cervix check, because she was really quite gentle (woo for gentle checks!).

I’m home now because hanging around in Town was just too stressful and feeling lots of pressure, but not that much pain.

I suppose it’s just back to a waiting game now, right?

    Awww… sorry you had to go through that, but glad that all is okay and that you’re not in pain.

    Good luck for when it DOES happen. Sounds like it will be soon now. How exciting!!

  2. Pia says

    Oh, BLOODY hell… if that kid doesn’t come soon, I am flying myself over there and hauling him out myself

    :)

    I had the same thing though, mad contractions that disappeared everytime I went to the hospital…

    I’ll be on the same flight path as Pia. I think you’re going to have your hands full with this one. He’s causing mischief even before he’s born.

    Sending you lots of “hurry up baby” thoughts!! I am telling you though, boys don’t like being away from their Mum’s. I think that is why they give us such grief in utero.

  25. Lea says

    Oh bummer! Ok, here’s some tricks you might want to try…

    Icpac? Spelling? Something about taking a few tablespoons seems to soften the uterus and I was in full blown labor a few hours afterwards. (it taste like shit, but effective!

    LOTS and LOTS of walking. Maybe go to the mall and walk walk walk. Also try walking up and down stairs (though it’s difficult with the added weight) hm.. I know there’s more but it’s been so long I can’t seem to remember…If I can remember, I’ll send you more tricks.

    Sorry it wasn’t time yet! Soon!

  26. Hyphen Mama says

    The waiting game. Maybe now would be a good time to toss in a couple of rounds of sex? NO? Yeah, I don’t have the energy either.

    Good luck, doll. I’m thinking you and that little baby boy!
