39 weeks

almost 39 weeks. I went to the movies with my brother last night. Lee looked after Thomas, dinner, bath and bed. It was great to break from rountine. I started getting BH in the cinemas which was funny. Hvae images of my waters breaking LOL. Then we went to get a hot choclate and chatted. Thats went I noticed the stabbing pain on my cervix ( same I got with Thomas about a week before he was born). Although it was stronger this time and harder to get rid of. WHen I got home we sat around and talked and again it was very strong. the only position I could get some relief was on all fours. I'm happy I'm feeling it as this is the first real indication that Jess's head is pushing on my cervix and the pain means I have to be a least a little dilated. I was diappointed there was no contraction with the pain though. So I went to bed and after about an hour they stopped. Nothing this morning. Just hope this means it is going to happen soon. I see the Ob tomorrow armed with all my questions, though I'm really steering away from induction at the moment. Only becuase I have they thought in my mind if I had done that with Thomas I know he wouldn't have been ready as it was only when I was in labour that he decided to turn the right way to come into the world. If I had sped up the process I dont think he would have turned. Hard to say. Anyway I haven't ruled anything out until I speak to him. Dh is looking after Thomas for my appointment so I can get as much info as poss.

39 weeks, one more week to go until my DD. wow at times this pregnancy has gone fast and at others just painfully slow!! If I do turn out going overdue please dont let it be 6 days!! I know on average if you are overdue second time its usually only 3 days. That would put my in hospital on the weekend. that I can handle. The only good news about going overdue is a get an U/S to see Jess, to check the placenta etc is still working. So anyway we will have to see....
