Any 38 week ladies want to buddy up for the last 2 weeks?

filipenko32 · Dec 28th, 2012, 14:37 PM

I'm 38 weeks on Saturday with my first baby. Is there anyone who wants to labour symptom spot until d day?! Here are my symptoms so far:

Nausea
Mild period cramps on and off
Very regular bowel movements

First tri bladder pressure back - need to pee all the time!!
Some vomiting no matter what I eat
Feeling out of it and emotional

Sounds wonderful doesn't it!!?

Anyway i thought this might be a bit of support for us during this scary but exciting time!

Ill join you in the "other TWW"! Baby due on the 9th Jan. Currently feeling very heavy! Symptoms so far are:

Periods of regular contractions with low back ache and period type pains - contractions every 6 minutes ish and last for 2-3 hours at a time.

Increasingly tired and emotional

Fanny daggers!! Pretty sure baby has a knitting needle in there with him!!!

Im in! For me its been vomiting and diarrhea last night, nothing really today. Feeling super emotional due to silly midwife from this morning saying that baby was breeched, sent me for a scan to confirm that she isnt! Some braxton hicks, but nothing more than that really.

Cant wait for it to be over now.. sick of waiting and guessing!

Can I join?
I'm due 9th Jan according to LMP and 11th Jan from 12 wk scan.

My symptoms at the moment are:
Period type cramps
Back pain
Lots of pressure down below
Needing the loo every time I stand up
Struggling to sleep at night
Really emotional (could cry at any point today

)

Can't believe there are only a few more weeks to go!

Can I join?
I am due 5th Jan according to LMP but 11th Jan according to 12 week scan.
my symptoms are:
Regular bowel movement,
Feeling hot (literally like i'm on fire hot!)
not getting much sleep due to going for a wee at least 3 times a night!
BH,
nausea,
and just generally 'off' ... Pregnancy is defiantly not glamorous!

Mrs Mel · Dec 28th, 2012, 15:05 PM

I'd love to! 38wks, due on the 11th Jan.

Having cramps on and off, especially after walking any distance.
Generally feeling a bit nauseous, although I haven't been sick yet.
Needing to pee all the time.
Very uncomfy, really struggle to sit in a comfortable position now!

I think we are all well and truly in the same boat! It's so reassuring to see that the symptoms we're getting are so similar. It's so uncomfortable now - mrs mel I can't even sit back on the sofa can you? I have to sit forward.
Christian'smum that 1st tri bladder pressure is such a pain isn't it! I thought I'd seen the back of it and was sleeping through the night for good then - until I had to start using hubs as a lever to turn myself over!

Anyone got swollen feet? Mine look like pods! Midwife said it was normal but they look and feel very tight.

Is anyone going to use labour starting 'methods' such as clary sage, red raspberry leaf tea,

etc!! Think I might! And you're supposed to keep moving aren't you? But I couldn't get my act together today, felt so lethargic but managed some housework and bag packing this evening.

Hope we can all support each other and everyone has more easier than not labours!

Yes its a pain having to get up and wee so many times a night ... Oh I am defiantly nesting ... my house is spotless and cleaned my mums on Christmas eve then done my mum-in-laws boxing day I just cant stop!

Mrs S-M · Dec 28th, 2012, 15:25 PM

I'm trying RLT and EPO doesn't seem to be doing very much but hoping it will help during labour.
I have had so many people tell me to keep moving, I usually hardly sit still but now that I have started maternity leave I am struggling to find things to do to keep myself moving!
Anyone got any tips on keeping busy?

filipenko32 · Dec 28th, 2012, 15:26 PM

Christian'smum: Me too! Are you folding baby clothes and rehanging them over and over or is it just cleaning?

I am! Someone I know was cleaning the bathroom floor on hands and knees at 2am while their husband was pleading with them to go to bed, 2 hours later her waters broke!

And lol to the new 2ww chatty!
