Apologies first if this blog is a bit all over the place but wanted to get down the events of last night!
About 4ish maybe 4:30pm yesterday, after a week of what feels like baby descending and grabbing very uncomfortable nerves, I felt a pull up in my tummy and what felt like water leak out. Could this be my waters?
I rushed to get my notes and find the number of the labour ward and called them to get advice, bascially to keep an eye if I lost more fluid and if movement of bubbs lessens. I got hold of Gav and work and he rushed home, called my sister and told her that I may be needing her and then went online to talk to a few friends and my sister in law in order to remain calm.
I actually felt very hormonal when talking to the labour ward, I mean I'm 37 weeks this coming friday and after this date my baby will be classed as full term. It also bought home the reality of emotions that have built up in preperation for the birth.
Anyway as you can tell I am still at home, baby is moving a lot and I've had hardly any sleep, niether has Gav. But no more water, no contractions just yet.
I have to thank the labour ward and my sister in law for their help last night as well as a very concerned and tired hubby this morning.
I'll keep you updated!
