Let's get this Bloody Show on the road!

...or on the Bloody Floor as the case may be…
I may (or may not, I really have no idea how this Labour/Pregnancy thing is meant to work) have had a Bloody Show this morning. This term is my hands-down fave pregnancy term of them all… Excuse me love, sorry about all this damn mucous, but I seem to have put on a bloody show!
The “Bloody Show” usually appears with the “Mucous Plug”, an infinitely less satisfying term, but having either doesn’t even indicate that Labour is about to start (which is just bloody great), although generally labour tends to start anytime from 24 hours afterwards (but up to 2 weeks later! I mean, why even bother having one in the first place?). Gah…
Thankfully, am picking up my TENS machine today for use during delivery. I decided I could deal with Labour Pain, but having to deal with my nemesis, HD (Herniated Disc) at the same time was going to be pushing it, and I’m keen to have as few drugs as humanly possible. I’d booked into a TENS workshop at the Hospital on Monday (day before Due Date) which is cutting it v. fine. At least if I do go into Labour, I’ll be in the right place.
In last night’s news, I had the biggest full-on “I want this baby out of my body NOW and why don’t I wake the neighbours while I’m at it” tanty I reckon I’ve ever had.
All day it had been hot and windy and I was frustrated at being at home and I was dropping everything on the floor but not able to pick them up because of Fat Gut in the way and HD was twinging the minute I did anything that wasn’t lying down and around 7.30pm I was starting to get a migraine because I hadn’t eaten and poor Husband gets home and I just LOSE IT!!!
I think MiniMc decided Sod This for a Joke, I’m not hanging around in this Bloody Woman’s body anymore if she’s going to bang on like a wailing Harpie hence the casting out of the Bloody Show. Smart baby this one (again, takes after it’s father…)
Permanent Link | - Eesh, you poor woman. Well, MS had the show on the Sunday but they still had to yank bubs out of her by force – I think he’d still be in there now if they didn’t. Not a nice thought. For your sake, I really hope it happens tomorrow so you can be in the nice AC while you’re hard at work. hugs

And hello Carmel! No doubt the family world will hear the news quick smart with proud MIL/FIL McG on the Blower!

Take care!

Here is one answer (From Dubai, Mar 2005): beirutbiloma. I am not 100% sure about the rap, but there is some fast-rhyming stuff in there. Too late now to rip and upload, will do that tomorrow.
