I'm 40+5 today and lost my mucous plug on Saturday, followed by more on Sunday and today. Saturday I was having tightenings that I would exactly say we're painful which stopped around 8pm & Sunday I had painful contractions that we're coming 4-6 minutes for 45 seconds until 9pm when they too stopped.
This morning I had a huge mucous loss followed by intense contractions every 3-5 minutes. I went to hospital to be told I was 2-3cm, with 1 cm of cervix left to thin out. They sent me away. All day the contractions have been bad but have not got any more frequent than 5-6 minutes- then tonight I had another huge bloody mucous loss.but now everything has stopped again and I could just cry. I am exhausted and fed up.
I have a little boy (3) who I have had to have looked after since Saturday ;-( as I can't manage him and theses contractions... And also he needs to be looked after in case of night time rush to hospital.... But I am getting beyond frustrated and it's overwhelmed me today. Feeling very emotional
Can anyone offer me words of encouragement....
