Erm having the induction booked for Fri is frustrating me as I want to labour naturally, and I don't know what else to do! For the past 24 hours and about every 15-30 minutes (so not regularly) I get such a tightening and unlike bh's so far, I have to stop what im doing and just blow through them-it builds up right from low down and tum goes rock hard and it's like an achey tight cramp-but different to period cramps...lasts about 20-40 seconds-they vary. Is this something or nothing? I've read some women having contractions for days and I don't even know if this is that.

Ha Angel you could be having your baby before me at this rate! Congratulations on reaching term

Ooo that definitely sounds like it could be something. Do they keep coming even if you are walking around? I don't think you will need the induction on Friday!!

 

[A1983]

Yes they do...and just had a sleep-when actually asleep I didn't have one...but as soon as im awake I do-only had 3 in 90 minutes though.. they tend to come on as soon as I move too. Those 3 ive just had during nap (when woken up ie cos phone has gone) we're painful-so much so im really worried how im going to be when im actually in labour! X

 

[mannymoo]

You will have so much adrenalin running through you during labour. It will all be fine. Hope baby makes his move soon... And that its quick and pain free!!

 

[mannymoo]

Wondering why I just called baby "him". You are team yellow aren't you?

 

[A1983]

Because I keep calling bubs a him ha ha-but yes I team yellow

 

[bazzb]

Lol say him as well
We need some girls on this thread though!

Quick update-contractions 10 mins apart from 8pm-2am, couldn't decide whether to sleep or bounce/bath etc-they were painful and could not sleep if they were to continue so after lying in bed for 2 hours they did subside. It was a relief but also I worried id undone all my hard work. Slept til 6am-waking about once an hour to a contraction (especially when turning in bed???) Now im up, had brekkie and washed so gonna drink rlt and bounce-so far nothing happening is this a bad sign for things progressing? Sent oh off to work today. One friend says to sleep this arvo, another says to stay upright..don't know what to do-prob a bit of both. Just don't want to get to 2am again and still no further as ill need energy for when in actual labour x

 

[mannymoo]

I say sleep while you can. You are going to need all your energy soon. Maybe try prop your pillows up a bit so you're not lying down. And do some bouncing/walking while you are awake. Any more show or signs of water breaking?

 

[A1983]

Thanks Manny, no only teeny bits of mucous when wipe sometimes. Will have a nap in a bit x

 

[starry83]

ooooh 1983 just caught up with the goings on! I do hope that you go into full blown labour soon, but even if you don't and you have to be induced you will soon see your gorgeous little baby! It will probably come quite quickly once induced as you sound like your in early labour now. I have no advice for you on the walking / bouncing front but just wanted to wish you a massive good luck!!!! x

 

[mannymoo]

Any change 1983?
