| 20-8-2009 - Contractions and a rainbow! |
My mood while writing this blog: MEGA excited and in pain! |
Ok, despite trying not to get excited..........I am sooooooooooooooo beside myself!! haha
I have been having contractions since 6am this morning, its now just gone 7pm and they are still going. They are not regular but they are getting closer (around 8-10 mins apart) and they are DEFO getting stronger.....ouchy! PLEASE dont let them stop, I cant handle false labour! lol.
I know that my cervix was still closed around 12pm as the midwife came to do a sweep. Its still very soft and central so the midwife thinks something is going on in there!! Not sure if my cervix will just open right at the last minute, I hope so!
To top it all, about 20 mins ago there was a beautiful rainbow outside the front of the house. So even my sign is there, this is sooooooo perfect, if I have her tomorrow it will be exactly a week before her Daddys birthday :)
Wish me luck! If I go into hospital for the big push I will try to get a note on here to you all.
Lots of love! Rach and Emily-Rose x x x
