April ladies ...were having our babies THIS month :)

[Eleonora]

Wow - I can't believe how many of us are having early symptoms and hospital trips! For those with nausea and vomiting - those can also be symptoms of early labor. Otherwise it really seems like terrible luck to get sick like that on your due date. Yuck!

 

[Qmama79]

My baby pulled a false labour prank joke on me! Irregular contractions, nausea through the night to subside completely by the morning. Belly is sore today & so tired. Please let me rest before the real labour starts...

 

[Bekah78]

Oh no qmama. Hope you can get some rest now.

 

[emma4g63]

So weird to think we're in April. It's my mother's birthday today, and with every call she got from her brothers she kept being asked if there was any sign of baby coming with me yet. She's been asking me about it herself every day since the day I hit 37 weeks. Then when I saw my sister-in-law this afternoon she looked stunned and immediately said there was no chance of me ever getting to my due date.

Admittedly my braxton hicks have really been going crazy today, though I put some of it down to being dehydrated. Some felt more crampy too, and haven't had that feeling for a few days.

 

[Misscalais]

Oh girls! Im sorry so many of you are being tricked by your bubbas! Hopefully maybe it might mean your bodies are just getting prepared and when real labour does kick in it will be a nice, smooth quick labour.
So, so far no April 1st babies? Its 6am April 2nd here in AU. The last 3 nights my insomnia has been the worst its been this pregnancy, last night about an hour of sleep between 2-3am.. then had to get up and pee! Im literally up hourly peeing during the night its driving me insane. Then DS3 wake right on 5:30am. 1st thing i had to do was take paracetamol for a head ache. Honestly hospital will be like a mini holiday for me

 

[Misscalais]

Spent last night at the hospital. I was having contractions and generally feeling like something was very different. So, I went. Straight from work and made my husband go over there to. He showed up with my gigantic pillow and my rolling suitcase. Talking about how he blanked on which door to go into. We left an hour later. I feel dumb and I'm not going back until my water breaks or I can't function with the contractions.

Dont feel dumb lol tell hubby to leave the bags in the car next time lol
Its always better to go in and be checked then to leave it too late and have bubba on the side of the road lol

I may be getting my wish of a week 37 delivery. The doctor I have a regular over apt with next week said I could schedule an induction between week 37&38. She wanted to make sure the doctor doing my NST and growth scans on Monday was cool with that though. So I should know Wednesday morning when I get to meet my girls and hopefully get some relief from all this swelling.

 

[Kay0102]

Can't believe how many girls there are compared to boys due this Month! 14 to 5 haha really outnumbered x

 

[EarthMama]

I'm due April 7th and having a boy this time. A few times last week I thought I may be going into labor, but nope. Don't feel much of anything today.

 

[xSweetTartx]

I'm exhausted. I had hopes earlier but it may seriously be prodromal. If this continues, I honestly don't want to wait much longer so I am emailing my doctor now to see what her opinion is and I imagine we will talk more about it on Tuesday. The only good thing is that this happened with Tyler so I'm much calmer about it. Disappointed, but calmer.

Awaiting our first April baby/s

So exciting

I can't wait to meet my little man but i am desperate to try and enjoy the last few weeks of this pregnancy! Really don't want him to come more than a few days early if I'm
honest if he 'is' early
Started raspberry leaf tea today so hoping to tone my uterus ready for labour! xox

 

[Cornfieldland]

Oldermummy we are both so close I just started the raspberry leaf tea today too!

 

[StephtheHiker]

I'm sorry sweettart that is so exhausting on your body. I hope you don't end up in labor tonight and your body gives you a good rest tonight. How long did the prodomal labor go for your son before it kicked into gear?

 

[xSweetTartx]

It's still going on. My son keeps rubbing my back though so there is one plus. I have been drinking tons of water but it makes no difference. I was in prodromal labor for a week before I accepted an induction. I was 40 weeks by then though so I am not sure what my doctor will say when we talk about it. My husband and I are trying to get it to move along though in hopes of avoiding it and not having to wait in uncertainty.

 

[hal423]

Powell - sorry to hear the closing got pushed back! I know you're anxious to get in there. Stay out for a little while longer baby!

Christie - glad you're gonna get some answers next week. Can't wait to see pics of the twins

Sweet tart that really sucks about the prodromal labor. When is your next dr appt? Hopefully this doesn't keep going for a week again - how exhausting! I hope you get some rest this weekend!

There are lots of girls this year apparently its the year of the girl lol i have 3 friends, 2 were due a week after me and one a day before me, all have their babies in March and they were all girls too. But i also have 2 friends who are due within a couple of days of each other in July and they are both having boys.

Have you tried nipple stimulation?

 

[Redhead84]

Well I'm up at 3:47am not because of labour but a poorly son who is so bunged up I can actually see where his nose and sinuses are swollen and he's struggling bless him.

He's just woken up again crying because it hurt but is now so tired he's fallen asleep in the time it's taken me to go get him some calpol. I really do hate seeing him not well, and have had an evening not thinking about baby at all as I'm busy dealing with the one I've already got.

Forgive my ignorance ladies but what's proposal labour? Never heard it Before.

Have you tried Vicks on the soles of his feet with socks over for the coughing? It's a miracle cure! Xx
