Thanks Ladies for all your words of encouragement.
Have just got home from hosp (bubba-less) and am totally emmotionally drained, especially as with such strong BH last night i only had about 2 hours sleep! Arrived, and was monitored for over 80 mins. Happy with CTG, reactive, even though i couldn't feel her actually kicking. They are suggesting that the reduction in fluid is making it harder for me to feel her move if/when she does. As nice as all the midwifes/doctors i saw were, my goodness they were so Slow and just Left you wondering what the heck was going on. I was in for over 7 hours for something that almost certainly could have been done in Much less than 2. The midwife put me on the monitor, and said i would be traced for 30 mins, eventually once 80 mins had passed OH went to ask midwife if i was done! After this, i had to wait an hour + to see a doctor. I don't mean to moan too much either, but every since doc/midwife i saw the first thing they asked me was what the problem was, when they had my notes in their hand, and it would have taken them seconds to just read the last bit that was written this morning that caused me to be admitted. Anyway, the decission was finally made that they were happy for me to come home, to be monitored again on friday, and meet consultant on monday to arrange induction, as they don't want me to go past due date.
I'm feeling very mixed about it all, as i left the hospitial i got very teary eyed, as much as i know its the right decission, i am truly devesatated that i can't birth at the birthing centre. At the same time, i'm very happy to not be going over my due date, but i do hope i go naturally rather than an induction.
MissHairspray Sorry to hear sweep looks unlikely to work. Keep on your birthing ball, rotating hips on that did all sorts for me.
Stripey know what you mean about being paranoid about bubs going posterior again. Def think your on the right track with the birthing ball!!!
FLF lol @ consultant's "rummage" hope it does the trick. Talking of internals ladies, i havent had one yet.... i mean if your not in a hospitial gown totally starkers underneath, how does it work? Do they ask you to get naked from waist down? or what? just curious!!
Tink Contractions sound promising... Hope Go Go Go for you!!
Lenni Thanks for hugs- much appreciated.... have been feeling like a very senstive little sole today! Hope things are going well for you??
G&T niggles not amounting to anything are driving us all bonkers, eh? Hope you got some rest today!
Moose Glad to hear you had such a good result from low fluid. Did you go into labour naturally, or end up being induced? How are the twinges today?
Dog i bet your aching after your super baywatch saving swim.... i don't think i could swim far/fast even if it was life/death..... i don't think my body works anymore!!!
Books Have you tried hoola hips on a birthing ball? Took mine from Brim to 3/5.
EachPeach Thanks for vibes, how are things your end?
