Okay, so went for a wee a little while ago. Got back into bed a bit bleary eyed and returned to a dozy kind of dream state. I was kind of aware of a little gush, only a little one, and when I came to a bit more my pants were wet and there are two patches of wetness on the bed. Went to the loo where there was a bit more of a trickle that I'm not sure was wee.

With DD, my waters went in a big explosion - like someone had just chuckled a bucket of water on the bathroom floor do this is different. But she was breech so nothing was engaged whereas here I hope the head is engaged. Contractions started straight away with her but very mildly and I wa fully dilated within 2 - 3 hours but with her being breech it was CSection time.

I'm booked in for A home birth this thin but totally not ready. House is a state dye to extension and new kitchen. It needs a damn good clean, still need to wash baby clothes etc. DP will be working about 40 - 50 minutes away today - do I send him in or do I keep him here just in case? A day off now, if not needed, will be one less when baby is here.

Currently 38+6 and woefully unprepared!
