No change, no pain, no gain

[ailbhe]

I'm about to retire for the night. I have continued to have painless contractions at 15-20 minute intervals. This could go on a while. It's possible that I'll go into labour proper in the night, or that it all stops for a further two weeks. I've had another hour's sleep - that's 3 since yesterday morning at 8-ish - and I've eaten properly today. My guest arrived, didn't hate me for sending her elsewhere, and left. Rob andI aren't going to an important wedding tomorrow unless I wake totally contraction-free, in which case he might go. I can't risk travelling that far from the hospital any more.

If anything truly exciting happens, beyond hormonal hysteria and frustration, I'll let you know. Promise. Meanwhile, please assume that I can continue to have painless, regular contractions every 15 minutes until the heat-death of the universe. It seems quite plausible to me.

And talking of heat-death, today was gorgeous weather. Rob mowed the lawn in the evening.

Again with the wowing. gothwalk, inannajones and olethros were over at our place this evening, and your LJ was reloaded more than once to check if there was any news.

Lots of people rooting for you round here, in other words!

Good luck good luck good luck :-)

I've always been impatient in those last days. What's worked for me (a couple of times) was to have sex (carefully) and then go for a walk. Semen has something in it that helps your contractions along, and the walking helps, too.

Good luck!
