(Im 39 weeks and 1 day atm)At nearly 36 weeks i lost my plug and began getting the random braxton hicks and back pain. No symton was consistent and my midwife explained that when you feel these symptoms regular and more intnese ill have started labour. This is my second child, but the first labour i was induced. So this is all new to me. My boyfriend is a lorry driver who works nights, he had mentioned to the the other week that the midwife assumed the baby would come early. Yesterday, in the early hours, all the symtoms hit me like a brick.....intense contractions 1-2 every hour, none stop back pain, my bottom felt heavy and the pelvic pressure was painful. I called my boyfriend and told him that labour is starting but hes got plenty of time to finsih his shift. After a couple hours i managed to get some rest so when he returned home i was asleep. When we both woke up his boss had taken him off all his shifts and put him on paternity. Unfortunately i think it may have been a false start all the intense feelings are gone and he is livid with me!! So far he has yelled at me three times which resulted in myself in tears as he is now on paternity and lost his shifts and keeps saying its my fault and im wasting his days off. I woke up.at 6 am this morning and cried due to the labour still not getting into montion becauae i am so worried about him being mad at me. I was so exited to have a natural labour this time around and now every minute of the day i feel so stressed about its not happening fast enough, it doesnt helps that everytime he speaks to me he patronisingly asks if labour has started yet. I have tried to say i dont know how to fix this but im trying to not get stressed, he said that i need to help him figure out what to do as he is losing money because of me. Has anyone else had issues surrounding labour and starting paternity?
