Due date today.

Rhiannon • \\Mama to Oscar & Amelia 💙 Wife to Gerard//

Still no baby. Ugh. Why am I still pregnant. 🥺

I’ve had Braxton Hicks. Very frequently for 3 WEEKS. (Every 10 mins or so)

A lot of pelvic pressure!

Pain on the inside of my thighs.

Lost a tiny bit of my plug 2 weeks ago and nothing since.

Back ache.

Can NOT get comfortable for the life of me.

My belly has definitely dropped.

I’ve had loose bm on and off.

When I looked it up. These are all signs of early labour. But like I said.. it’s been happening for 3 WEEKS!

I had my first baby at 37 + 3 and my waters broke so I KNEW I was in labour..

this is just a cruel game my body’s playing on me.

Every twinge of pain or uncomfortableness.

Every tightening that seems more “intense” I think .. Finally this might actually be it. But nope.

I wake up the next day and I’m definitely still pregnant.

I genuinely don’t even know if the “tightenings” are ACTUALLY getting more intense or if I’m just so so uncomfortable and exhausted from the last 3 weeks of “fake early labour”.

Anyone else feeling like this?

Also. Midwifes here don’t routinely do cervical checks. So I don’t even know if I’ve made any progress with dialating or softening.

And I keep hearing story’s about people getting stretch and sweeps but I don’t think my midwife does them either because I’ve never been offered one. Sooo. At this stage I’m probably going to give birth to a toddler. 🤷🏻‍♀️
