I abu posting here but frankly I don't care anymore. I'm exhausted and just want some sleep :-( if anyone could tell me what's going on I'd really appreciate it!

I'm 39 weeks. Meant to be having an induction on Monday but not too keen so consultant agreed we would try a sweep on Friday and give baby a chance until Monday to come by him/herself. Had the sweep, uncomfortable after with cramp type pains. I was 2cm dilated I think at that point.

Yesterday morning (Saturday) my plug started coming out (sorry tmi) in clumpy bits this has continued all day.

At 2am this morning I had to get up out of bed as couldn't sleep. Baby has been wiggling about like mad and I keep having period like pain on and off. It's hard to tell if my stomach is hardening with the pain as it's quite solid now anyway (not much space!) but if I had to guess I'd say yes it is. So every time I fell asleep either the baby would wake me or the discomfort would. I'd say the pains are every half hour or so and last about 30 seconds/a minute. My back is killing me. I feel like I need a poop (sorry!) but can't seem to go and I just am fed up and uncomfortable :-( :-(

Anyone got any insight?

I'm aware even this post is probably pointless as no one can physically examine me etc but it's taking my mind off of things.

Also dh is snoring so badly I just completely lost my rag and snapped at him so now I feel a complete cow too.

Aww thanks everyone for asking :-) I nc and completely forgot to update!!!

Induction seemed to have failed but then as I was leaving the hospital for an hour (Cafe Nero break 😂) my waters broke spectacularly so maybe it did do something!

Anyway everything went well until baby went sideways at the last minute and got stuck so I ended up with forceps delivery and episiotomy. Healthy 9 pound baby boy😊

But we are both home and healthy and in a bit of a bubble of bliss so I can't complain at all!

Thank you all again for asking about us :-) xxxxx

Really OP, I’m very disappointed in your late response. You’d nearly think you’d something more important to do! 😉😁

Congratulations on your little baby. I’m delighted for you and your husband. Photos? I really don’t think we’ll be able t9 track you down from a photo of your little baby. 💐
