How much practice does it take to make an escape
23 October 2008 8:56 p.m.
Nope, not yet. I am still very much here.
I can even see myself going overdue if things carry on like this.
This stubborn little person is not quite ready by the looks of it. He or she is certainly playing alot of games with mummy.
I took Matthew to school as normal, hoping the pressure would speed things up a little. Fine. I came home had a long soak in the bath and continued with the contractions at 15 minute intervals for a full 8 hours in total. From 5am to 1pm things were looking quite good. Strong all round contractions from back to front and lasting for a good few seconds at a time. It was painful and slowly zapped all my energy as the morning went by so slowly as I was clock watching.
Then nothing.
Nothing but little wriggles and rolls as if to say "Fooled you again!!!"
I've had discharge but my waters didn't break.
I'm feeling rather tired due to missing out on some much needed sleep so will soon sneak off to bed and hopefully have a better night.
I just keep wondering how much practice this little monkey needs!!!
