bloody hell....

Well, here i am getting ready for work on Thursday - spent Tuesday with cramping, hip aches contractions, etc... called the doc - they agreed i might be in labour - but we waited at home- our plan to labour at home as long as possible... i had acupuncture - had the doula on alert and then spent the rest of the night feeling INCREDIBLY nauseous and trying not to puke... at 4.00 a.m. when i got up and ran a bath and sat in it for 1.5 hours reading I realized i may have the flu going round... confusing when they say early labour signs involve all those above and can be seen as the flu.... had a scheduled stress test on Wednesday a.m. anyhow, so went to that at 8.00 a.m. turned out Teeny was happy inside, amniotic fluid still at good levels and heart beat all good... was having some contractions, but nothing major and no imminent sprogging. Booked back in for a stress test on Saturday afternoon as will be a couple of days overdue by then and back to waiting!
