So, all was going nicely, and then I managed to doze for 30 mins and now the contractions have stopped! Bugger!
Have been to Shrewsbury - they did the scan and the baby is in the right position. If I'm not in labour by 8pm tonight then I have to go to Shrewsbury to give birth. They have provisionally booked me in for induction tomorrow at 3.30pm, for which I have to be on the consultant led ward. Booking in time apparently has no relevance to procedure time - depends on how busy the ward is etc etc, so it could be Tuesday before the baby arrives.
We have been out for a spicy lunch, been for a walk in the snow including steps and I'm about to drink some raspberry leaf tea - in an attempt to kick start the process again. Both of us are feeling quite frustrated as it would be so much nicer to do a water birth in Telford.
Keep your fingers crossed for us tonight!
