I wasnt online much yesterday because i decided to give myself the day off from trying to bring on the baby - Alan and I had a lovely long lay in, i phoned my BFF in England and chatted away for a couple of hours and then we took Maggie for a walk across the fields. Well this walk was just one disaster after the next - first we get lost, then i fell over (and landed very gracefully apparently) then Alan got his leg caught on barb wire
and right at the end we discover the gate out was flooded! we had to wade through a muddy bog almost upto our knees - poor maggie kept sinking down into it as shes only a little dog! Anyways when we finally made it over the gate we were filthy and my shoes were destroyed.
I had been having mild irregular contractions all day but thought nothing of it as I've had them before and they have ALWAYS been nothing. We stayed at my SIL's for a while just chatting and laughing at Maggie (who was now a black cavalier) before heading home.
I'd say it was from about 5pm on-wards i was so unbelievably uncomfortable - everything hurt all the time but as Noah was wriggling away and it was such a general pain - not specific to any one area i figured it was just a mixture of being on my feet too long, the fall, and being 9 months pregnant!
I went to bed early with a hot water bottle and had to get up twice to throw up (nothing new for me there) but talk about clearing out before labor - i lay there in bed farting away for a good hour before having t go throw up again! Woke up at 4:30 feeling really restless and decided to go for a wee, got to the door, sneezed and wet myself. Alan woke up and laughed at me before having a pillow thrown at him, i got to the bathroom, peed, wiped, went to stand up - more pee (ok strange), walked back into the bedroom to find clean pants when i peed again "OK I know that wasn't pee that time, my waters just broke"
I waddle back into the bathroom and again there is another gush - i call through for Alan to get me some more pants "not the lace ones i can destroy" - I swear he danced into the bathroom with the biggest pants i own and the biggest grin on his face lol
So yeah i sent him back to bed but im far to awake to rest, oh and right now i have a big maternity pad on but i keep having to check im not leaking
its still coming in gushes every few mins.
So yeah after everything I've been trying all week to bring the baby on i cant believe my waters brake just a few hours before my induction is due to begin! owwwwwwwwwwwwww ok theres a contraction.
update - anyone wondering what your waters going is like - big gush, little gush, tiny gush, tiny gush, big gush change your pants/pad, tiny gush, tiny gush......3 hours later.....big gush, change your pad, find new pants, little gush, tiny gush.........fecking hell when is this going to end?
Aside from that nothing really to report, a few contractions roughly every 7 mins but only lasting 15 seconds. I called the hospital and have been told to come in when im ready - no rush, no panic. So I've had a shower and i shave (even managed to tidy up down there) im going to spend half an hour doing my hair and getting my bag all sorted before thinking about second breakfast (i threw up the first one) and then we will head on over to L&D for a check - fingers crossed they will let me labor at home for as long as possible.
