Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[arlene]

Aww lasies I had a crap night too. We didn't get to bed til after midnight cos we were both out. I woke up screaming in agony about 3am with cramp in my calf, it was so painful! I just couldn't get my foot flexed to ease it. I felt ao bad as John was up at 6.30 to go do cadet stuff this weekend. Then I just woke up about twenty minutes ago sobbing cos I dreamt hw was only with me to make another girl realise she didn't want to be without him!! Bloody hormones!! Xx

 

[bbymc]

Aw sounds like most of us aren't doing too well lol.

How's the BH Laura? Any better? I've never had any yet that I'm aware off. How did you know its BH and not labour!?

Cramp is horrendous but i bet John probably woke up thinking you were in labour until he realised lol. I've not had any odd dreams for a while. I did have one once when i dreamt Ryan told me he was leaving me and didn't love me anymore. Woke up distraught and had to wake him to make sure it was all a dream! So i totally get how you must have felt Arelene! x

 

[bbymc]

there's apparently 6 guests reading this thread atm lol. Not sure i could be bothered with that. There's a lot to read. Would be interesting point of reference though i suppose as each of our pregnancy journey's has been so different.

 

[arlene]

He kept asking what was wrong but I couldn't get a breath to answer him! I was actually doubled over in pain. Thibk it's made me a bit nervous and emotional about how I'll cope in labour now too Like, if I'm screaming like that over cramp, how the hell will I manage on just gas and air (which is my plan).

I've had a few dreams like that, most of them involve him leaving and it scares the living hell out of me. Normally he's here when it happens and I can cuddle in but he'd already left this morning. I just feel like the feeling stays with me for a day or two and I can't shake it, even though I know it was just a dream xx

Omg must have been one of those nights. I normal get up for a pee around 1.30 or 2.35 but i got right to 4am and could bloody sleep so i thought ok ill go pee and see if thats the problem lol but nope was tossing for a good hour or so before drifting back off.

Arlene i have the same fear about labour to. Im not sure how ill cope on just gas and air if the pain is anything like how back my back was last week i was pretty much crippled. Just wanna do little dance as i got a descent sleep last night without having pain but then if i lie on my side way to long is goes sore :S.

Im not caving for epidural though that one thing i defo do not want.

Ive had some crazy dreams things week to

Hope you find something to help ease some of the pain. xxxxxx

Crappy nights all round then. My acid heartburn is getting really bad. I'm worried that I'm doing some damage now as it was so sore when I was sick last night. Phoned the chemist this morning to see if they can give me something other than gaviscon but they can't so will just have to see doc on monday. FX I can get something that works and maybe get a week of decent sleep.

I'm glad to say that I've never experienced BHs. Hope they have eased off now Laura. If you let me know if Stephen finds Buzz I will PM you my address. That is very kind of you

Aww Dave usually does something in my dreams that annoys me and I end up being grumpy with him the next day and sometimes I can't even remember why...poor guy

 

[lj2245]

Oh I have those dreams too Usually Stephen has left me for another woman and I wake up full of the rage and want to beat him up

BHs, to me at least, feel like period cramps. There is a dull ache constantly which rises and peaks with a small contraction. When I had Shaun I was always panicking when I had one incase it was labour but when I went into labour with Shaun it was totally different...I felt the contraction EVERYWHERE and it was a sharper, vice-like pain.

One thing that's worrying me is I woke up at 5am with my first proper contraction when I was having Shaun so have no idea if I had milder contractions in the run up to that while I was asleep! What I do know is that I didn't have BHs for this length of time with Shaun. If I did I'd have been off to the labour ward for sure! I only ever got one or 2 at a time but I've been getting them constantly since Thursday

I'm convinced Alex has dropped. He feels so much lower but I'm not sure if I'm imagining it. I will take a wee photo later and compare it with one I took 2 weeks ago.

 

[arlene]

I hate dreams like that, they always make me feel quite insecure for a day or two afterward.

I'm not quite sure if I've had BH yet. Felt my bump tighten and get uncomfy quite a bit but it's never been painful or anything. Hope they stop soon Laura! Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

i always get random tighting on my bump. Just goes all hard for few seconds then passes over. ooooh talking of cramping.. lol Feel like i need to poop but it hurts a little :S Gone to the loo so dam much i dont wanna go anymore.

what a miserable day outside to. xxx

 

[bbymc]

Well I def don't think I've had BH then. I've had a few period like pains but only for like a minor something, and its not sore. Just there.

I have really bad heartburn too Karen. Doc gave me omeprazole (sp?). Works much better than gaviscon but even then I still feel it some days. You'll probably get that.

Well I'm feeling super organised. Carseat is fitted in the car and we're ready to rock and roll

 

[lj2245]

I didn't get them bad with Shaun, it was just random tightening and the odd cramp that was barely noticeable. I think it must be worse 2nd time round! I'd def be up at Wishaw just now if this happened and it was my 1st!

 

[bbymc]

Maybe it is labour? Altho I'd assume they'd be worse by now if it was?

I'm finding moving myself around at all today is a real struggle. I'm just feeling so uncomfy and huge! This baby better not be late. I don't think i could cope with another 4 or 5 weeks of this! Lol.

I hope Shaun's collecting went well today. He looks so cute! x

 

[Cherrybump]

Ive pinched the couch. Started getting period pains again. was going to bounce on the ball but right now i dont feel in the mood to lol. Might take a nap as im feeling sleepy xxx

 

[lj2245]

Nah it's definitely not labour

 

[Kaybee]

I hope the doc gives me something anyway. I'm meant to get Ranitidine (or something) before going in for section so wondering if I will get that.

Laura did you get after pains after having Shaun? I vaguely remember getting some but I've heard a few ladies saying they get worse with each baby I do remember getting phantom kicks that were really bizarre

Hope Shaun did will with his collection.

 

[arlene]

Seems like these babies are determined to cause us trouble! Lol.

I'm singing in a concert tonight and really feel like I'd rather be on the couch! I'm doing the solo for Rolling In The Deep by Adele and I was practising earlier in the house, struggling to get the breathing right! I'm used to being able to expand my lungs and hold a note for ages and it's just not happening now!! Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

Oh no! sure they will understand if your little of key lol. Good luck tonight hun wish you some luck your lungs dont give up on you . xxx

 

[Kaybee]

Good luck for tonight Arlene

I am so hungry today. Dave working until 6 and he is stopping to bring home a kebab for him and I can't remember what else they do in the kebab shop so requested a pizza for me & Kaiden, pakora (nom) and a menu so I can peruse and pick something for next time. Probably best not having something too spicy with my heartburn anyway. Hope he gets up the road with it quick though.

 

[lj2245]

I fell asleep just after 4 and have just woken up

Good luck Arlene! I'd love to be able to sing but I sound like a cats choir!

I can't really remember the after pains but I do remember that I contracted when I BF, I just can't remember what it felt like I remember the phantom kicks though, I still had those until I became pregnant again lol!! I'm worried about after pains this time because if the BHs are this bad, the after pains are going to be HORRIBLE!

Lucky you having a takeaway. We have to have spag bol because the mince is going out of date. Because I make it from scratch, Stephen can't make it for me so I need to do it. I tried to convince him to chuck the mince and get a takeaway but it's been snowing really heavy here again and he doesn't want to drive to the bank! We NEVER have any cash on us...I'll never learn lol.

Shaun did brilliant with his collection. I put a wee photo up on FB. Never been so proud of him. It was amazing seeing how confident he was, and how happy he was to be doing it 'for his Gran'. He's already asking me what we can do when we have finished collecting for the daffodil appeal next weekend!

 

[Kaybee]

I think we had spag bol last week when you had an Indian I ended up making a pizza as Dave went to the kebab shop and it was queued out the door and he couldn't even get parked. Was really looking forward to some pakora too

Kaiden was quite naughty this morning. Just not doing as he was told & when I was on the phone to my mum she said they will come take him out tomorrow morning and then take us for brunch. Lovely. Think he was gutted this morning cause I told him we would go out and then it snowed and rained & I said we couldn't go to the park. We ended up going out in the rain just to let him blow off some steam and popped up to visit his nanny. He's been fine since we went out. He is getting so flipping fast on his scooter now though

I remember the contractions during BF and they were quite painful!

Well done Shaun. That is really nice
