Have been rudely awakened (just when i was finally asleep) to much tighter tummy tightenings than i have experienced to date. Uncomfortable, and REALLY tight, but i wouldnt say yet painful.

Thing is though they are bottom 1/2 of bump, only really going rock solid to belly button ish.

No other signs apart from a "clear out"

Am i getting excited over nothing? i think i actually am truly obsessed with going into labour!!! and i still have 7 days till EDD.

Hello Hello....Afraid i am still here with no bubba.

Had some Serious tightening/contractions/BH last night.... actually painful in the end. But, i took some paracetomol and managed to fall asleep so can't be the real deal.

After less than 2 hours sleep had to get up for Scan this morning (at Obs request yesterday) Now as well as decreased Fetal movements, we now have low fluid to add to the mix. Apparently bellow the the 5th centile???

Anyways i have just popped home to get a sandwich and wait 10 mins for OH to meet me here, but i am AGAIN being posted off to the hospitial for monitoring. i LIVE in maternity wards at the moment.

Anyway, so not sure whats going to happen, but midwife (So lovely) at MLU says that birthing at MLU is unlikely now as they will want to monitor closely, prob most days (Groan) but, on the plus side, she said they are very unlikely to let me go over due now! Hurrah. Am secretly hoping they induce me today, my lovely hypno water birth has gone out of the window, and i'm sure with an epdidural to hand i'll be Weak and give in!!!

Shall keep you ladies posted.
