Well the last 24 hours have been, er, interesting! 7pm last night I thought my waters had gone. Cue yet another bloody trip to the Alex, more time on the monitor and an internal exam (nice!). Waters hadn't gone, nor had I wee'd myself (hey, I'm naturally paranoid!) and they had no idea what i was, er leaking... helpful!
At three am I awoke with awful period type pains that built then decreased over a minute, every 20 odd minutes. Great, I thought, I'm in sodding labour! I was starving hungry so I made myself some toast and a hot water bottle. A few hours and several 'contractions' later, I fell asleep. I woke up this morning with terrible back pain and intermittent contractions, which have continued most of the day. I got to about 11am and succumbed and put the Tens machine on. Miraculously, it worked and has been a Godsend all day! However, after having mild contractions all day, this evening they seem to have stopped completely. Great. It feels like a lot of pain for nothing!
So I'm not in labour, but not really not in labour either. Apparently this could go on for several days without me properly going into labour, if I'm unlucky. I'd rather take the pain and go into labour now please! At least then they'll be an end in sight!
Happy 39 weeks to me! Apologies for the lack of bump watch pic, will sort tomorrow.
