False Alarm

31 Weeks Tuesday 23rd September I decided I wanted to go for a walk with Steve on the way round I started to get pains. We got home and I slowly wondered around the house. I started to feel sick and really did not want to eat dinner but I was encouraged by everyone. I then went for a bath to see if that would help with the pain. It felt like really bad period cramps and my tummy would go rock hard. Definitely not comfortable.Whilst I was in the bath Steve rang the hospital and they asked him to get me to ring them back once I got out of the bath. When I rang MFAU they asked me to ring straight through to the delivery unit. Whilst I was on the phone to them I felt as though I was leaking. I stood up and there on the towel was a round circle of water. After informing the midwife she asked me to come in.
When I arrived at the hospital they put me on the trace and was told I was contracting but they were not in regular. The heartbeat was nice and strong. Watching the painful ones on the monitor were funny. After being check I was told I was closed. It was so reliving. After being on the delivery unit for 3 hours they decided to transfer me to the ward. That night was so uncomfortable. I got hardly any sleep but the nurse on was lovely and I didn't feel as though I was all on my own.
Now home and the baby hasn't arrived but I am to take it easy. I have the odd sick feeling and getting a lot of cramps but none as bad as the other night.
I am really getting excited now and everyone thinks he could be early. Lets hope he doesn't and when he does come he is 100% ready.
He just isn't aloud to come whilst Steve is away.
