Well I am now 33 weeks and 4 days. I feel really tired as I am not sleeping well. I have bit of SPD which makes my pelvis and groin area ache. I feel huge and cant get comfy - I am still so excited though the thought of my little angel keeps me going.

Well I am now 34 weeks and 5 days, I have just come out of hospital as i didn;t feel right and kept having some tummy pains and braxton hicks. My community m/w saw me at the hospital and thought I better go on the CTG and get seen by a doctor. When the doctor examined me he said I was 2 cm dilated and the membranes were bulging + anyway - hearing that was enough to start labour off! I was having mild contractions on the monitor so they started to prepare me for what could happen - ie baby born 6 weeks early. They said he will need SCBU and they had arranged a cot. If he needed ventilating he would have to be moved to another hospital. I was/still am sooo scared for him :( I know babies are born early than this - but still. Anyway they monitored me and gave me steriods to prepare babies lungs. Nothing seemed to progress, so after 2 days they let me come home - I feel like I am a ticking time bomb waiting to explode! They think my cervix must be weak - at least that gives a answer to what happend last time :( Anyway I need to be focused and postive for my baby. I have got to cross my legs for a couple more weeks and then things should be much more postive. No housework for me just rest!

Well I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant now, no changes on the dilation front - but no one has examined me. Saw the midwife few days ago who just did the normal, urine, BP, SFH didn't do a PV exam. My SPD is bad at the moment and I am feeling a bit isolated because I live in a village and my car is broken and its not worth fixing so I am stranded!

Never mind - I'll entertain myself by watching Jeromy Kyle and folding baby grows..... the wait continues.....
