***April Sweet Peas 2011*** join here (48 babies born)

Wow tasha! You're like superwoman! lol.
So DH and I dtd last night and when I got up after to go to the bathroom I had a really strong contraction (said OUCH OUCH OUCH) and then when I got up a couple minutes later I had another one- they both lasted about 40 seconds but were the only 2 that I had that were painful.

CAMI ARE YOU OUT THERE??? ARE YOU HAVING CALEB??? Just curious :D
 
I still wouldn't know what a braxton hicks thing felt like, or a contraction

this baby seems to be making itself very comfy and refusing to come out, ever
 
Wow, I can't believe I've only just found this thread. I am due on April 29th, so here's hoping baby is well behaved and doesn't decide to become a little May baby instead!

Tasha360, your baby pics are just gorgeous, cannot wait until mine (just the one!) arrives :)
 
Emmy's... I get that pop and pain everytime I turn or cough or sneeze or anything else really... Dr. said it is my pubic bone popping (which is what it feels like) because of the hormones that make your joints and everything relax.. but call the Dr. if you are worried hun

Sam I am out here.... I have some pain in my vajajay but nothing bad... I am going to clean and clean and clean and clean some more not really to try to get stuff started but to get stuff done since it seems to be starting on it's own.... hopefully not tonight though.. grandma is coming to help finish the cleaning tomorrow so would rather it be after that lol... have my priorities straight huh.. :rofl:
 
Hi Victoria and Swift :wave:

Gurtrude your lucky not to have braxton hicks, i get them all the time, have done for a while, some of them take my breath away.

Tasha you really are superwoman, some of us are on our first baby and you have 4 LO's. Hope your getting lots of help :)
 
I get aches and pains, that come and go, but nothing I would say was a BH :shrug:

it's not over my bump, they tend to be lower down I guess, or when I get out of bed and then my whole bump is solid

but :shrug: I don't know!
 
Sandi... have you seen the new show on lifetime called Four of a Kind??? it is about 4 identical 17year old quad girls... all I have to say is poor mom LOL... the one girl on their Kendra seems to do nothing but fight... Oh My
 
it makes for a good laugh... and she has one son as well who moved out of the house and is living in a shed in the backyard to get away from the fighting of girls..lol... poor boy
 
My pains are lower down but the braxton hick is like a shooting kind of pain and my bump goes really hard. Its always really hard when i get out of bed in the middle of the night.
 
gertrude- the rock hard belly is what mine does most of the time and it's a BH. But hey- if it's not painful or anything then no worries! I have tightening at the bottom of my belly. There are times when my whole belly tightens up and there is no pain with that just generally uncomfortable. My contractions from last night were my low belly but the whole thing was hard and I was actually saying how much pain I was in- if that makes sense?

Miss Rosie is poking her bumm out my front and legs out the sides... She should just come if she is too squished in there! I'm just sayin'.
 
When I get BH my stomach goes rock hard and usually it puts a lot of pressure on my bladder and just is generally uncomfortable. Not painful, just odd feeling and feels much better when it goes away.

I watched part of the 4 of a kind show Cami, was on after OBEM. I couldn't stand their voices and all the talking over each other. Just crazy! And Mom is so calm and laid back. Just can't believe she had 4 identical quads without any fertility treatment!! 1 in 650 million odds or something like that I think.

Welcome to the new april ladies :wave:
 
I don't think I've felt any braxton hicks yet. I've recently read that we all get them but some women don't feel them, especially if it's their first baby.
 
I don't get to many BH. All my pains are the shooting pains in my vjayjay. I was having contractions while on the monitor monday but it was funny as soon as the nurse came in to check me and mentioned them they stopped. Oh well...not long now and we all will be feeling the real ones.
 
I get the shooting vajayjay pain too. I'm surprised I feel them so much with it being my first but I'm hoping it means for fast labor!
 
How do you know the difference between BH and real contractions?
I have a feeling that when I go into labour Ill probably not think Im in labour because I dont know what it feels like xD

Just got back from hospital. Had a scan. Baby is still measuring quite small but the doctor wasnt there to decide what to do so gotta see him on Monday instead so more waiting!
Still got another scan a week on Monday too and another consultation.
Oh and baby's head is like really really low! Hoping he engages soon or something.
