Hello All!
Thank you so much for all the positive vibes!
I feel pretty good - tired but good!
The checks at the hosp showed that baby was engaged, I was 3cm dilated and quite soft and stretchy. Last night all the wet knicker chat WAS my waters broken.
They said I have to go in at 7am tomorrow to be put on oxytocin unless I start labour on my own beforehand.
I started having contractions after they saw me (while I was still in the waiting room) and I figured that I had a while yet, so I drove to sainsburys, did the shopping, having lots of MAJOR pains and called DH from the toilet roll aisle to come home. I drove home (interesting experience) and DH arrived and I said I wanted to go out for lunch - well it might be our last chance for a while, just the 2 of us!
No point in sitting around at home eh?
Anyway back home now, seems like labour is indeed in progress, slow but sure, it's all a bit painful but no problems yet. Even if I can't quite get into the full throes before induction tomorrow, at least I will be some of the way there.
My DH (and I am too really) is amazed that I said NO to being induced before before thursday - the dr told me I couldn't do it naturally - here I am giving it a good shot.
Seems like Klaw and Lulu were right, trust your instincts
