Except a good dose of nausea and more bloody show.
Sigh.

Well.
So contrary to what we were all hoping, I haven’t had this baby yet.
No, you read that right, I am still freaking pregnant.
Lets have a look at the stats.
10 days of bloody show.
3 days of contractions.
35C heat yesterday and similar forecast for today.
1.5cm dilated
And finally…
A baby that is estimated to be about 6lb6oz. Not huge in any way, but still a very healthy weight.
So that’s where we’re at.
I’d just like to clear up for the record, that when I say contractions, I don’t mean the painless/slightly uncormfortable Braxton Hicks contractions that I was having before. No, these are ohmyholymotherfuckingod honest to goodness painful contractions.
That get to about 3 minutes apart and 1 minute long and then STOP.
I’m tired. I’m hot. I’m getting frustrated.
I know that eventually things will ramp up and this little one will arrive, but really, I would prefer to not be exhausted mentally and physically when that happens.
So, that’s where we’re at.

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?

Contractions
Contractions are painful and getting more so. Heading down to the hospital to be checked shortly.
Wish us luck! Will either update when I come home without a baby tonight, or get Mum to if I end up having him.
