Monday was quite an eventful day for us this week! As this baby boy decided it would be fun to have us thinking labour was about to start!!
It all started on the Sunday evening when I had some pains in my hips, it felt like they were opening up and widening in preparation for delivery! I didn't pay too much attention as I just assumed the baby must have been dropping quite quickly. Along with that it gave me some back problems through out the week and a lot of lightening crotch!
I called my midwife on the Monday as I had a very small amount of spotting when I woke up. So she advised I head to the bigger hospital an hour away as the hospital I'm due to go to for the birth is only a small cottage hospital so their are no consultants etc their for emergency care!
When we got the hospital we had a bit of a wait but we finally got seen and I had to sit on a monitor for almost an hour due to how much he was wriggling!! Which was quite reassuring really, however after a while of been stuck on a monitor I kinda wanted him to just sit still for at least half hour so I could come off the machine.
After finally been able to come off the machine, with him wriggling and moving around a little less. We learnt he had turned around making him back to back!! But he was very low. So I now knew why my back had been so bad! Then the midwife asked if I had been noticing the tightening's I had been having while on the montior, I jokingly answered with a yes that I've felt them, they weren't painful but they were feeling rather regular.
Thankfully after an internal examination it turned out that I hadn't started to have a show and my waters weren't starting to go either. That was quite a relief. I got discharged and told I was to call back if the regular tightening's became painful or more intense.
So we had scheduled another midwife appointment this Friday which was yesterday. That update will be up next week for you all! So look out for that and some more information on how this little man is doing!
Have a great weekend everyone!
