Right - Lets get started....panic

Hi just wanted to get this stuff written down, please excuse the mess i write how i talk, it just comes out..
Expecting our first child and it's getting to d day now Bumpy's mum (BM) has not had an easy one sick and heartburn for 7.5 months eeek.

Lets begin

OK cool the bumpy's deciding it's going to have mums time keeping and be on time.

After dinner BM says "I think my waters have broken, but I'm not sure."...."OK", i squeak, "what do we do?"

Phone call to the mid wife and it's bags in the car and off to the hospital. Manage to park in the car park no barriers no guard hooray.

Wander in we're both pretty calm , for myself I'm sure it's the glass of wine I had with dinner.

Get in and see the doctor who does the checks and confirms yes they indeed have broken, right so not going back to work on Monday then.
Contractions not happening though so some blood checks and put on the fetal heart monitor machine.
Right it's wait to see what happens back tomorrow at 10am maybe induction on sunday???!

Bumpy's VERY active but all looks OK so we're sent home around 2.30am interesting night jaunt and my minor fear of hospitals and all stuff gory doesn't show

Not much sleep that night, contractions have now started woken up a 7.30 with them lots of back rubs.
By 8.30 they're pretty regular every 2 mins for 45 secs a pop maybe it is going to come quickly after all?? ha

Bags back in the car off to the hospital again, drop off BM at the entrance and get in the car park again yay
Takes a bit to get in and then to get seen bit of panicing sets in and no breakfast I'm a little fluttery but with back and foot rubs BM takes it in her stride.
Seen by lovely midwife fetal monitor and checks and stuff again only 1cm dilation d'oh in for the long haul.
Bumpy's a bit quiter today. Advised on TENS postions, will give it a try when we get back home again as we're sent away again, need some food.

BM hits the bath and it's a little better contractions slowed down in the hospital, I finish Mario Kart yay
2-3 hours in the bath bit pickled but it's helping
Some ready brek for BM doesn't stay down long cold toast a little better. Get the TENS machine out and apply the cold patches and fire it up. She's happy seems to be helping yay
Hmm broke my tooth not the best of times, hey mouth come on!!

We need some sleep after last night so hit bed in the day time, snooze for a bit... missed Dr Who d'oh.
OK need some proper food now not sure if Bumpy's going to make an entrance today now and everythings gone calm in the house with the tens machine think BM will keep it on.
Chiken or steak?
More later if possible might see if I can post from my phone if we go back in
