Ok so this is my 3rd baby. 1st I got to 6cm but due to him getting stuck I had an emergency csection
2nd baby I had an elective csection due to her being huge (9lb 2oz) @38 weeks.
Pregnant with no.3 and trying for a vbac. Hospital said they won't induce me at all so I pretty much have to be in full blown labour before they even dare to look at me. I have section booked on the 18th (Baby is due the 15th) as they also won't let me go too overdue.
Baby is currently fully engaged and midwife told me she thinks I won't last another 2 weeks pregnant (this was last week).
I have been having horrendous pain for almost a week now, I'm talking cramp, backache/backbreaking and tightening (like a knot being pulled so tight I almost feel like I am winded) only thing is they come and go, and are not regular enough. I have had no show. Also have had diarrhea, sickness and im exstreamly tired needing naps regularly. I feel the same as when I was in labour with my son, although that was 7 years ago now I can remember it being the same just it's not as intense now. It's slowly getting worse as the days go by. I just don't know what to do with myself, I got checked when I first started getting pains and midwife said I was barely 1cm and just managed a small sweep. They are worse now. I have a high pain tolerance so I keep kind of blowing it all off but when they come they can kick my bum. Anyone else had this for days? How long until real labour begins? Or am I already in labour? It's been so long since I was last in labour and don't want to keep tracking to hospital for it to be nothing! Can't seem to manage to track them and I can talk through the pains too. But it HURTS and I'm tired somebody give me hope. OK rant over this is my first ever post 😅🤷♀️🤦♀️
