Hey all, thought I would share an update with you. It's now just over three weeks since I went into labour and I'm still getting contractions, although only 1 or 2 an hour now. I did end up in hospital again last week when they went up to 15 minutes.
I had my 2nd antenatal class today and we were discussing pain relief. My group was asked to talk about epidurals. I was joking with the trainer that I only got over my phobia enough to inject myself, there's no way I could deal with a needle in my back. She said that with my back problems I'm not likely to be able to have one anyway, which I knew and said that's what makes me not want to have another CS because it will mean a GA. She said that it looks like the baby has other ideas and I've not got 4 weeks left.
When I was in Liverpool they told me at such a premature age it would be better for the baby to come naturally and the risk to my scar (inverse T) was quite low. I'm hoping that if she comes soon that it will still be a low enough risk that they will let her come. My trainer has told me to watch my posture so that I encourage the baby into a good position. Unlike Isobel though she has been mostly head down when the contractions pick up, so I'm hoping such a drawn out labour will encourage her more into a good position.
