40 weeks

I'm so tired I can barely type, so will just say that I had a huge bloody show last night, and was asked to go up to hospital as Baby Bear was being stubborn and refusing to move! After waiting over an hour to be seen, then being stuck on a CTG trace for another half hour, I was told I'm contracting every four minutes but they aren't painful, I'm 2cm dilated and fully effaced with Baby Bear's head so low she could barely get the speculum (devilish duck beak) in. As it is my due date today (yay) she gave me a stretch and sweep, which is every bit as pleasant as it sounds, and told to wait and see.

I'm in early labour, and I'm exhausted, after finally making it home at 4 am I started cramping, which I think was down to the sweep. I've slept and the cramps and contractions have stopped, so watch this space :)
