In hospital waiting to see if I dilate...

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

I've been having regular contractions now every 3-5 mins for the past 7 hours. Last time they checked I was only 2cm dilated. I'm at high risk of rupture so wondering what they'll do next!

[DramaAlpaca]

No idea, but best of luck! Oh, and hope all goes well.

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

Thank you! DH is asleep and I'm wide awake...typical!!

[DramaAlpaca]

Typical indeed

I'm off to bed now (night owl) but will check back in the morning, hoping for good news of cuddly bundles.

[Dillydallyingthrough]

Aww OP good luck, try to get some sleep, even just rest your eyes for a bit. Your in the best place, will be checking in through the night

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

[Shadow01]

[everytimerickysayscuntIlaugh]

How far along are you op? I'm high risk of rupture too and am having a c section

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

I'm 38+5. After codeine and the tens machine ive been able to sleep.

Very dry mouth, contractions have started to ramp up again

[NotSoThinLizzy]

Good luck

[holidays987]

Good luck op!!

[givememarmite]

Oh good luck! I am 38+6 and was in last night after started getting contractions every 5 mins from the off (baby number 3 so went in quickly!) got to 3cm then they stopped overnight though and am back home now.
Hope you got some rest and are progressing nicely!

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

No further dilation... But contractions won't stop, so I might have a scan

[givememarmite]

How are you doing @Rainbowhairdontcare ?

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

I'm being induced ATM . Contractions are in effective but painless!

[givememarmite]

Good luck! Hope things get going properly very soon!

[flowerstar19]

Good luck OP! Won't be long now! Xxx

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

Well my body is cooperating but there are no beds in the maternity ward, so we'll have to wait til tomorrow

[MrBobLobLaw]

How are things OP?

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

The pessary didn't work at all.my bladder which is naturally big kept moving the baby away from the cervix.

Had to get my waters broken with a consultant and two midwives.

We're doing our best to avoid s c section. It's just a waiting game to see if the drip works

[MrBobLobLaw]

Do you have a new baby now then @Rainbowhairdontcare?

Hope you're not feeling too impatient!

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

I do! Please welcome baby Diego to this world :)

[Tweetingmagpie]

Congratulations!

He looks big! How much did he weigh? And how did it go in the end? I love a birth story

[Rainbowhairdontcare]

He's actually not that big. 3.5kg.

5 days of latent labour, 3 days of induction. My body wouldn't budge in the slightest. So had a c section last night. After almost two hours, nearly passing our, losing blood and stressing about having chest pains... The surgeon thinks that so much scar tissue never allowed Diego to have a vaginal birth. He said "let's put it this way I didn't enjoy it at all"

But here he is now with his daddy both by my side, feeling like the luckiest woman in this world.

Congratulations, he looks beautiful
