Had a show?

[natalie_1982]

Hi ladies. I will be 37weeks tomorrow.

I have been feeling funny today, but put it down to the fact that I have a slight cold and haven't slept well the past two nights. I have been working myself up and have had butterflies because I have been feeling a bit run down that if baby comes early then I simply don't have the enery to push it out! LOL

Anyway, I was getting really hot and sweaty (put it down to the cold) but have just gone to the loo and think I have had a show....... cont.....

HI Nat

Sounds like your resting well. I know exactly what you mean about Jeremey Kyle, I can't stand him yet I find myself eating my breakfast whilst watching him most mornings!

I actually had what I'm sure were contractions through the night as they actually woke me up. But the last one was about 7am and now I'm dispondant because I actually thought for a moment labor was beginning!! God I'm inpatient, lol.

Have a good day x

mountainboo, the day I went into labour and had my baby, I was woken by contractions at 5:30 am that morning but then they had stopped by mid morning. They started again mid afternoon and by tea time were so strong and regular I gave the midwife the call to get her out ( for the homebirth I never actually had lol). Baby was born 11:34 that night!

Of course, some women go in and out of labour for a week or two before baby actually arrives, sorry lol.

[mountainboo]

HI Psy,

Oh right, well, the pains have come back now. Currently mild and very far apart but sometimes almost feel contiunous. I'm definately feeling things I haven't felt before. I'll keep a close eye on things. Keep you all posted on progress if there is any

xx

[natalie_1982]

Wow - so it could be you next Mboo! Mine seems to have calmed down a lot, although I have been up and about a lot more today so maybe just haven't noticed it so much. Who knows! Keep us posted though xx

[mountainboo]

Hi

They're still every hour or so at the moment, so, as Psy says, some women go in and out of labor, that's probably what it is. I'll let you know if they become more frequent.

[daffidazey]

Just thought I'd check in and see how you are all doing! Sounds like things are on the move mountainboo! Hope all goes ok. Daffi x

[natalie_1982]

MountainB00, i definitely think you must be next - I haven't had anything since. Which is just as well because I can't seem to shift this blooming cold!

Hope everything ok with you this morn. I am going to go have a long hot bath now and then decide what to do with the day! XX

[mountainboo]

Morning all, thanks daffi

Yet another false alarm I'm afraid. Had a fairly uninterrupted night sleep and have had no pains whatsoever today. So your still definately in the running Nat, lol.

Hope your cold is better than it was?

I seem to have developed a bit of energy this morning and have been tidying a few things. Anyway, I've decided I'm not going to read into any little signs now unless it's something significant as I keep getting my hopes up. Theoretically, if he decides to come late I could have up to 3 weeks and 5 days to go.

Anyway, have a nice day all xx

[redcrx]

im still here too!!

in the eves i get a lot of aches and pains but they settle in the night. Today ive got a lot of pressure when i stand but that might be because Ive been busy clearing house out ready for carpetting the downstairs and landing.

[Psychick]

Afternoon ladies, just check you all attended role call this morning :)

As you are all getting so close now, I might start running a book on who is next, my money being on mountainboo at the moment (sorry to those who are keen to get it over with now)

How about a bit of fun with this and lets all pick a day for the coming week that we think mountainboo will have her baby. Im going to pick Tuesday. Whos else wants a guess?

[mountainboo]

Fingers crossed Psy, lol. MrMB thinks it'll be Wednesday. I am now completely unsure.

[natalie_1982]

I had some more aches and pains today - hurrah!
Can't hear out of my right ear though, so hope cold has not turned into an ear infection :-(

I came to the horrifying conclusion that if I go late, and am induced at the maximum day I can go, I could still be sat here moaning on 17th April, which might as well be next year as far as I am concerned.

MBoo - maybe you have the nestng instinct folk tell of lol! I still feel as though yours will all be starting school when I am srtill carrying lol. Off to start dinner now.... am trying to keep busy in the vain hope it starts something! XX

[Psychick]

Dont be so sure with that theory natalie. I had the same idea and that day I started with contractions I thought I would keep things going by keeping busy but it seemed to have the opposite affect, all the time I was on the go things were quiet. As soon as I started to settle down and relax, it all kicked off!

[natalie_1982]

Just signing in.... lol

Wish my bod would decide what it is doing, all seems to calm down and I resign myself to the fact that I will probably still be sat in here in four weeks, then I begin getting pains again! I slept solidly from 9:30 - 7:30 last night but my hip aches like nothing else this morning.
Every time I start getting pains I think "Ooooh ******, not yet I don't think I've enough energy... p'raps tomorrow", then when they stop and I am just sat around being impatient I think "Now.... please now, I can't take one more day like this.....!".

Have a good one everyone xx

[mountainboo]

Morning all,

Nat, I have lots of sympathy for you and I am exactly the same. In a way it's nice to know I'm not alone though. We seem to be experiencing the same things daily.

Yesturday I had a pain in-between sharp and an ache which increased in intensity and lasted approx 2 mins and was that painful that I couldn't stand straight. A few hours later I had an immense pressure in my lower abdomen which lasted approx 40 mins and baby was moving like crazy. There was the odd back pain during, but then it all settled. I had a fairly interrupted night sleep as kept waking with mild ab cramps. Have had continuous mild low back pain all morning and the occasional mild ad cramp.

Nat, I think we could be here for some time...lol. But what we're feeling is probably a good sign that our bodies are getting ready.

Have a good day all. Keep ya chin up Nat and I will too x

[redcrx]

hi, just me, signing in!

ive had an awful weekend. I ended up with little CRXs bug and threw up constantly from lunch saturday to sunday lunch. I couldnt even drink 2 sips of water without being sick half an hour later.

baby was active throughout, more so than usual and felt like it was spinning again so hope its head down for my consultant appt tomorrow. Thats assuming i get there. I stayed in bed and slept all day yesterday and slept through last night after eating some toast in the eve but am very tired and dizzy still

Hope things are progressing for rest of you but i hope baby stays put in me at least until i regain my energy and strength. Im so dehydrated that ive got pink wee, not at all good.

[natalie_1982]

Morning red
Poor you - it seems like we're all coming down with it at the moment, although mine is only a cold I can't seem to shift it atall! I am drinking at least 2.5litres water a day and resting as much as I can but I'm still chesty and bunged up. I feel the same as you in that as much as I want it to be over, I want to regain some energy first!
Take it easy today and hope you're able to get your fluids up xx
I had some pains yesterday afteroon that took my breath away, but since then nothing.... again! Hope things are moving along ok for Mountainboo, I think she'll be next :-)

[mountainboo]

Morning all,

I'm sorry to hear you've been so ill Red. That Norovirrus has to be the worst thing ever to catch. Hope your able to rehydrate some.

Nothing knew with me, just the usual aches and pains. Baby seems to be moving a bit differently now though, he's a bit jumpy and jerky. Hopefully he's just trying to move down or something.

Have a good Monday xx

[Psychick]

Poor you red, thats how I was when I was kept in hospital with a UTI so keep trying to keep fluids down and I hope youre better very soon.

Hope everyone else is doing ok depsite the waiting with aches and pains now.

mountianboo, how are you doing? Dont forget I have picked tomorrow as your day so get on with it lol

[mountainboo]

Lol Psy, try telling that to miniMB, I think he has other plans, like staying put.
I'm fine, hope you are too. Roll on the labor
