Still here :( and stuck......LONG


Hey girlies, sorry ive not been good with me updates but a bit upset and disheartend and tired

First thanks laura for keeping everyone updated with the lil updates i have given....

Well there's not much to say......im stuck

On tuesday (after the lovely meet) i started have contractions every 20 mins at about 4pm until 5am then finally got to sleep then for a couple of hours then me hips went so up i got quite tired but ok. Anyway they had stopped. So i thought of well....and carried on as normal

Well early hours of thursday morning 1am i was woken by the worst period pains. So i left kyle to sleep and came down stairs to see what happened well they came in waves every 15 mins of so then every 5-8mins so started getting excited but they werent overly sore so thought id have a long wait. Well 6am me mum came to see me and got kyle up and took a trip to hospital BP was a bit higher and got put of a monitor to check baba was coping well with contractions which he was then they did an internal and said waters still intact but im roughly about 2cm dialated which made me over the moon.

So off we came home contractions still coming and i sent OH to work and told him when they get really bad ill call. So spent the say with me mum at hers took me doggy's with me lol. Well about 10am they got a little nippy kick to them but still nothing like id thought they'd be so i knew i was still not progressing much. Well come 3pm i ring the hospital to see if there's anything i can do to see if i can kick them up a gear......nope just keep active and eat every hour and drink alot to keep energy up.....And to ring back every 3 hours to let them know im coping and make sure baba's movements ok etc.

Well rang back at 7pm and said "look there not progressing, i know it can be long but its been 17+ hours now shouldnt they be getting worse??" "nope first time mum sounds normal" then she said for me to go up and see if any progress......went up thinking ok maybe ill have made even a lilttle like half a cm but NOPE nothing. Put on monitor again......still coming but not strong. So they asked if i want to stay in or just come back.....i said ill just come back as its going to be long.....

They gave me some co-codamol and said to try get some sleep and go see me midwife in the morning if they dont get worse or closer.....

well took this and managed to get about 2 hours kip. Went to see midwife this morning hoping for a bit of good news but nope.

Appartently my cervix is stuck...... lol and because the contractions are progressing and getting stronger they cant push it or something so it will stay like that until either me waters go or contractions increase. I asked if a sweep would help she told me she wouldnt do one because im not overdue i started crying (baby) and saying im exhausted and ok theyre not extremely painful but they got a kick to them.

She basically told me im unpatient and this is what pregnancy is all about and i could have another 2 weeks of this so to just grit my teeth and bare it, and stop moaning. So got an appointment a week on tuesday if im still here and hopefully get a sweep, but thats it. I just got to ride them out until they get to 2-3mins apart or the pain really become unbareable and they will take me in. And she said she wouldnt be suprised if i still went overdue which made me feel even better. and just sent me away with some painkillers and told me if i really found it hard to sleep then just rest......

So now im sitting here feeling like a failure. Cant stop crying as im so exhausted only had about 5 hours sleep in 2 days. But my body doesnt know what the fuk its doing so just staying doing what its doing which isnt enough....

OH aint happy and wants to go private but for the sake of a few weeks i couldnt justify the money we would have to pay fare enough if i had 10 weeks left but i have 3 weeks max left....so just gotta ride it out.

So sorry girls your all stuck with me.....for now. And probally for the next few weeks. Jacob is ready to go.....but mummy's body just doesnt know what to do and wont let him Oh well.


Sorry its long XxxxxX

aww hun *hugs*

youre not a failure at all.. most first pregnancies are this way.. and once you have your baby in your arms you will see that its all worth it in the end..

try to relax, have a self pamper session.. watch a movie with a tub of icecream whilst soaking your feet..

my heart goes out to you xxxx

i just wanted to add that being induced is not a bad thing... i had to be induced with Ffion and i much prefered it.. going to the hospital and knowing that next time i was home i would have my baby..

so if it does get to that stage dont feel like a failure..

Awww hunn, sending you a big hug. Your not a failure at all, and dont think that of yourself. Jacob just doesnt want to leave the warmth and saftey of you just yet. I can't begin to understand how hard it is for you, but im imagining, and im keeping my fingers tightly crossed things start moving. Look after yourself hun.
