I'm here!
Tried to type birth story twice last night but got side tracked!
Anyway. Thursday was to be ds2'2 first day at nursery and, sod's law, ds3 decided to put in his appearance!
Got up at 6am and and had a 'show' (hate that phraase!) and had been told that at the very first sign of labour i needed to be assessed due to speedy labours and high bp and the fact that the nearest CLU was abot 30 mins away.
Rang my mam who got over quick even though I wasn;t really experienicing any pains. Delivery unit said to come down to have bp done.
Got there abot 7:30 ish and had mild contractions in car but nothing at all - I reckon with ds2, all the minor build up happened as I slept whereas this was happpening during the day.
BP was 150/100 so stuck on bp monitor for an hour and a half and bp was consistently in high 90s/low 100s.
Faffed about getting bored as nothing much happening - I nearly popped round the corner to take ds2 to nursery but wasn;t allowed .
Back on monitor - bp down a little and showing mild contraction - which I could barely feel. Bp settled in high 80s/low 90s.
Midwife and student midwife examined me and I was 1-2cm dilated - told them to have a good rummage to try to get things going.
They decided I needed to be reviewed as I was at the midwife led unit and if bp stayed high but I wasn;t in labour proper they may send me on to be induced.
Sent round to pregnancy assessment unit where they arsed about and I satrted having afew more contractions but nothing big at all. Doctor examined me - 2cm-3cm dilated and bp still hgh so they sent us in the car to the consultant led unit.
Got there - they could not understand why we had been sent as I was clearly in labour so the bp didnt matter and it was only....
got to go
