You know ur body best
So I had sex on the morning of the 27th and was having intense but irregular contractions. All day I walked around the house unnecessarily, cleaned and went up and down the stairs. Throughout the day my contractions didn’t stop. I had multiple gushes of creamy thick discharge and even the odd tingle in my boobs. I had bowel movements three times if I’m not mistaken so went on the breast pump to keep contractions active. At this point contractions were 10mins apart and becoming real unbearable. This carried on all day, now my midwife told me that when ur baby kicks the most is when ur most likely to go into labour my baby was always active in the evening. Anyway as the contractions got worse I was still hesitant to phone the hospital, yano they love sending us home. I questioned myself are these real or braxton, are they hurting me enough etc. Long story short I convinced myself they weren’t but I waited until I couldnt wait any longer, the hospital also only invited me in becuase it’s my third child. Upon arrival iwas only 3cm dilated and about to be sent home, the minute she took her fingers out of me and finished the exam I had the urge to push. After an hour of pushing my baby was here fit and healthy. Follow ur guts instincts moms don’t b scared to call the hospital and don’t leave it to late. If ur contractions hurt then they hurt. If I waited another 10 mins my baby would of been born in the car, the car park or a hospital corridor. Just trust ur body n ur own judgement. By the way I only pushed for a hour and there she was
