Bloody show (pic and a panic)

Yesterday I posted about consistent contractions that lasted 7 hours total but my maternity triage unit didn’t want to see me. Well, now they have no choice because I’ve just had my bloody show and have been having tightening all morning again. My belly is low low too.
Praying we can keep baby in a little longer because I’m only 26+6. I’m so scared

Aww no I hope if your husband is at work and they won’t cover him he just walks out somethings are just more important. Please do keep us posted , thinking of you huni, and if it comes to something I’d definitely be putting a complaint in xx

he’s got someone to cover him today. My triage unit aren’t answering the phone so we’re just going down. She’s not moved since before the show so it’s even more scary.
Partner works 40 minutes away from home and the hospital is half an hour from home. Bag is packed, toddlers are fed, in-laws are aware. Just the drive to go now

Baby’s heart rate was all good and she was moving like crazy after having a very sleepy few hours after having my show.
Was hooked up to the CTG machine and that showed was having regular contractions so they did a cervical check and a swab to check for preterm labour. The swab came back negative and my waters haven’t broken but I am about 2cm dilated and she has started to engage.
I was sent home under strict instructions to rest and come back with even the slightest discomfort.
I have a growth scan and consultant appointment already booked in for the 2nd (I will be 28 weeks exactly). Hopefully she stays where she is at least a little longer. I’ll stand on my head if I have to haha x

Hope the scan goes well and you get to keep your baby inside for as long as possible xxx

Get your hospital bag packed if you haven't done so already! Sounds like this baby wants to come out! Good luck! X

oh trust me, I have an emergency bag left in the car after this started up 😅
contractions have been awful again today but not “get to the hospital right now” kind of bad, you know?
I’m 27+2 now. She’s definitely lower in my pelvis today. Just hoping she lets us hold on a little bit longer
