Woke up and all was quiet on the baby front, apart from the odd twinge
Still wired up to a monitor. The sound of the heart beat so soothing.
Boompty boom boompty boom. What a wonderful sound.
The sound of new life.
Breakfast served and a lovely bed bath for me. Listening to some music on my cassette player. 11 am wow that hurt contractions starting again.
12pm do you want any lunch. No thank you it wil make me sick .
The contractions getting stronger and stronger all afternoon. At 4 pm the doctor on duty comes and chats with me, tho my contractions are strong decides I can go home as my waters have not broken. He was foreign, tho I could understand him he could not understand me. I was trying to explain, my waters do not break naturally I need them broken.
After all been here done this 
No, no, no you go home come back when waters break.
No, No, No, I am not I want my gynocologist Mr. Scott now. After a lot of discussion and nurses trying to calm me, Mr Scott arrives and after a quick examination and listen to the monitor my waters are broken its now 8pm.
Thats it,another 2 hrs of excrutiating pain a dear little boy is born at 10pm.

Here we go the little wriggler is wanting to join his family or so we thought.
4pm and the contractions are coming regular and strong.
Bag packed, Big brother Paul aged 4 1/2 and big sister Nadine just turned 3, off to Nanny and Grandad's.
Dog sorted and Mummy off to St. Mary's Poole Hospital for the new member of the family to be born. A day before the due date.
Well, after a few hours the contractions stop. I was all wired up on a monitor and went off to sleep.
 Not ready yet.
Should have known then he was going to be a little Monkey :)
