So for the last week or so I have been convinced things are moving with regards to the baby. Head has really been pushing down this week and that has led me to believe, rightly or wrongly that baby will not make due date! My mother was away yesterday and today and was so paranoid that something was going to happen. So Thursday night arrives and I lie down to go to sleep and I feel really sick, then I spend most of the night up and down on the toilet and tossing and turning in bed not really sure whats up. Yesterday morning when I finally get the energy to get out of bed and deal with Martha I feel rough as. Get Martha and myself some breakfast, however I can't eat mine as still feeling sick. Still back and forth the toilet, some say you empty your bowels before labour but this was crazy. Not sure what to do for best and just about managing with Martha decided to give in and call my Dad. He came over to give me a rest and looked after Martha. In the meantime I decided to speak to the midwife, not knowing really if there was anything she could do, in my mind it was a tummy bug. She came out and did a routine check and sent some urine off to be tested. She then informed me that the babies head is 3/5's engaged, something that didn't happen with Martha until the very end. She also thought the way I was moving that something might be happening. Poor midwife found it difficult to decide whether it was a tummy bug or something else, she also said if it was a tummy bug that it could set things off. My stomach was aching so much if it was something else yesterday I don't think I would have had the energy to go through labour at home. After trying to get some rest and trying to eat- unsuccesfully with both, the midwife rung to see how things were, as I was still feeling sick she said it was most likely a tummy bug or something I had eaten.
So anyway after a much better nights sleep last night, I am feeling a lot more refreshed and been able to eat a lot more today. My stomach still feels very tender and I am getting twitches every now and then - contractions, braxton hicks- who knows only time will tell, all I know is that I am very uncomfortable! Liam now doesn't know whether to go back to London on Monday or whether to work from home. I think we will have to see how I am feeling this time tomorrow night. My own feeling is that if he goes to London something will happen and if he doesn't then we will just be waiting and could be for another couple of weeks or even more! I am only 37 weeks now. So well thats the latest update and will try to keep you informed of any other developments- if I can!
