Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Milo's at his dad's for the evening, my mum and aunt are in my kitchen cooking a casserole and I'm on the sofa about to catch up on a bit of last night's British TV. Ahhhhhhhhhhh bliss. As you can most likely tell, the baby isn't here yet. Despite many a prediction and many a hope, he hasn't decided to join us quite yet and time is running out before my mum and aunt leave on Sunday afternoon.
In the hopes to kick this labour in to action, Milo went to nursery today and the rest of us got walking. Walking, walking, walking. I walked until I couldn't walk any more and on top of that I searched out the ingredients for a tea I was tipped to try out and I've just partaken of a warm cuppa!
Tomorrow morning I have an appointment booked in at the hospital with my midwife to do the latest checkup and see if there are any signs of anything happening. I must say that I am quite nervous about it. I'm not nervous about the checkup itself, it's all standard, but I am nervous about going to the hospital. I'll be meeting the midwife on the floor where I gave birth to Milo and where I will be giving birth to the baby and I haven't been through those doors since Milo's traumatic labour. I haven't been stressed about giving birth at that hospital for quite a long time now but I figured that when I walk through those doors during labour, I'll be more distracted by the pain than thinking about where I am so I thought it would be ok. Going there with all my senses in tact and with little to distract me is a whole different matter. It's a bit scary to be honest. On the plus side, it will be good to show my mum where the baby will be born should he actually arrive before she leaves on Sunday afternoon (she will be coming to the birth) so that she can know where the canteen is and such.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me people. Here's hoping this baby gets a move on!

Wishing you the best! Hopefully, your midwife will have good news for you tomorrow...and the baby will be here! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. My original prediction was actually for tomorrow so maybe I'll be proven right all along ;)
DeleteI know how frustrated you are, my little monster held on for 15 days then arrived on Christmas morning which wasn't exactly convenient, especially as my mum and dad came out after the baby was originally due and went home on the 22nd expecting to have had lots of cuddle time in between! Hope baby gets a move on! x
ReplyDeleteClearly wanted to make Christmas extra special ;) That must have been a really tough time and I know how you must have felt with your parents. I can't believe my birth partner is going home before the birth! (she has pre-booked flights to go away next week so can't stay longer). I hope I don't make it as long as 15 days but will have to wait and see x
DeleteCome on baby. There are lots of people waiting to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHope things start moving along soon.
Thank you :) He's obviously wanting to avoid this cold weather ;)
DeleteHey getting closer how exciting :0)
ReplyDeleteOn a side note... are you enjoying the book you are reading Call the Midwife? I've not read it yet but I love the series
Hey, indeed it is. Getting very close it seems. Yes, I am really enjoying 'Call the Midwife'. The book features some interesting details that the TV show doesn't cover and it's a nice, easy read.
