Childbirth

I can't do this for another possibly 7 weeks!

Nearly 35 weeks now. Loads of pain in pelvis and pressure like it's 'full'.
Woken up today and can't stop pooing (sorry for tmi) but not upset stomach iykwim.
Strong uncomfortable braxton hicks every 20 mins.
Just been feeling generally crap last few days, no energy and like I'm coming down with something.
Can't sleep properly and all of a sudden feel very pregnant.

Just a self indulgent wail really as I can't do this for possibly 7 more weeks- I'll lose the plot!!

Babyfish hope all goes well and if it makes you feel any better that happened to me but when the contractions were too much to bear I was told to have a bath and and given paracetamol and a birthing ball!
I had dilated 2cm before having the gel (over period of 2 weeks) and so the gel did fuck all apart from make me feel shit.

As 1sr lot of gel hypersrimulated me they put me on the list for delivery for waters to be broken. That took 3days!

Ginger how are you?
Hows lairy qnd baby?

Hi... I thought now that it's abit more settled I'll give you an update... I was induced Tuesday evening. I was in established labour by 6am Wednesday but I wasn't dilating. They did a second dose of the inducing gel which ramped up the contractions to the full on but still no dilation. I was getting them at full strength at a minute long every 2 minutes...So after 28 hours they decided to stop it all... They wanted to give me pethiden but I declined for personal reasons. My contractions are easing off now as the gel is wearing off and it looks like I'll be having a caesarean tomorrow. I'm absolutely exhausted but atleast there is a light at the end of the tunnel... I've now been given my own ensuite room and the doctors all came in to say this doesn't normally happen... I'm just abit unlucky...

I'm currently in hospital and they've induced me... 3 weeks earlier then DD but I have pre eclampsia... No wonder I've been feeling so rotten. I've had the first bit of hormone gel... And I'm hoping to get some sleep soon... Hope you're all doing well Smile

As I was reading your post I was bouncing on a ball. At 10.30pm Hmm

these pains are bastard of pains but doing nothing. Still 2cm cervix is still back so if cervix was down a little they could transfer me to deliver for waters to be broken. Due another dose of the gel at 11.50. So will try and get some sleep.
Next time I want a elcs!

Im more than likely to be having an epi!

Thanks for updating ilove, bless you- all in the name of mn eh?! Grin
Was wondering how you were getting on.
Come on baby love!!

Well I've given in and dh is ordering Indian as we speak. I'm beyond not looking forward to it, desperate for a dominos but more desperate for a baby!
Me and dd went for a long walk this afternoon, lots of marching and singing to 'grand old duke of York' much to the amusement of passers-by Grin.
Lots of back pain and VERY sore pelvis but that's it Hmm so bouncing on the ball for a bit.

Im in bed, on monitor 2ish cm dilated but cervix still high so needed the gel to bring it down. If it would have been a bit lower then could have gone delivery for waters to be broken.
Contractions are now painful need another 10 mins on monitor before I can get up anf move around
