11 Days Late - Wednesday 16th May 2007

Today I am 11 days late in giving birth.

Yesterday I had contractions all day long and they got to the stage where they were about 10 minutes apart. They were not too painful but I couldnt talk whilst I was having one. I rang the delivery suite at the hospital to ask for their advice they said that I should try and get some sleep as the contractions would need to be a lot closer together and a lot stronger. Daddy Wayne and I went off to bed expecting to be up and going to the hospital in a few hours. But once again we awoke this morning and nothing had happened.

Is this baby ever going to come out????????????????

I really hope that the midwifes are right and first babies are only a week late, this means he could come today!
