Been trying to keep up with thread but not had a chance to post, Moosma, know how you feel, have had contractions on and off for a week now, vry reg on Weds eve but died off after about an hour, again on Thurs and then from about 6:30 am till 8pm yesterday, every 10 mins, getting stronger but no more frequent So this is one of those unpredictable third labours that I was always told about when I was a student, it's starting to get me slightly irritable, not because of the pain but because I keep thinking this will be the end of my SPD (had a really down day on Thurs, my mum had said she would be in all day if I needed a hand wwith anything, was feeling shattered so packed DS of to school, got DD's nappy bag together and thought "I'll just give her a quick ring to check before I turn up there" and lo and behold she had obviously forgotten what she had told me as she was just on her way out to visit a friend! Just felt a but crappy and as if I was bottom of her pile of priorities and that she wasn't really that intrested in how I was feeling. Had to then put DD into her pram as she was so cranky and she will normally fall asleep if she is taken out for a walk, due to the SPD every step is agony and again I managed to trip over a loose paving stone as I can't really pick my feet up properly, nearly tipped the pram over but managed to save it, went flying myself so had to pick myself off the floor, it then took my 45 mins to walk a 10 min route, DD winged nearly all the way round as I was soooooo slow! She finally fell asleep but only slept for 20 mins before waking in another cranky mood I spent the rst of the day/night sobbing my heart out and feeling very sory for myself!) feeling much more upbeat about things now. Need to empty and refill the pool today so no doubt he will arrive when it's not warm enough to get in !
Alocin, I would prob still hold out for a HB, my philosophy is if baby is goin to delivery naturally it will, but we can only be sure of that i we don't interfere, that to me means nothing but a spontaneous labour with no fiddling (eg ARM) from the midwives. However only you know what you are comfortable with and you must go with what feels right or you.
Sorry for the long rant in the middle of the post, feels like the contractions are back with a vengence [ hmm ], we'll see!
