No news

After the consultation on Thursday and being 1cm dilated and all things pointing downwards and in position, along with reading my notes, I knew birth was imminent. However nature takes it’s own course and I am still waiting although it is only Saturday.

I have had a lot of “lightening” which feels like the baby is head butting my cervix which is a positive movement as that’s what stimulates the body to then release hormones for labour to progress.

On Thursday night after my massage I was very uncomfortable but I had downloaded a digital course on Hypnobirthing and after listening to that and doing breathing exercises I felt really calm and relaxed.

It is an excellent course and I highly recommend to all birthing people whether you are interested or not. It covers a lot of science which is always good and I have learnt a lot. I will be doing a detailed post on this here and also here. The link for the website I downloaded the online course from is thepositivebirthcompany.co.uk

Update 21.53

Still no news! I saw my consultant and she examined me but no changes it feels like everything had just stopped. However what is interesting is these last couple of days I’ve started to sleep really deeply. I am still very active but having to rest and falling asleep which is a positive for my body. Babies father is poorly so he is keeping away and I only hope he recovers by the time our baby arrives.

This time for just me is really important and as long as baby is OK so to am I. So more rest for me now.
