sounds like ur plug is coming away. its not really a good indicator of when actual labour will start but the pains are a good sign. keep active but also get rest and just keep on eye on things

Thanks! That's what I'm doing - they're no where near being consistent, but still uncomfortable!

 

[Mark&Annie]

Ooo sounds promising abs! I didn't notice mine last time, but this time I did, pretty much same time as my pains started. I think walking around a lot helped my contractions really get going so go for a walk!

I am being suckled to death - this kid is hungry!!

Congrats again mark&annie. He is gorgeous and he doesn't look 8lb 2oz, was he long?

Vivienne - That's crap about your foot!! What a time to do it as well. I have a friend who broke her hip around this time and gave birth with it. Ouch. As long as the rest of you and baby are ok.

Abs - good luck if this is it!

Jade - Good thinking about the good nights sleep first. I hope I start in the morning after I've had a good sleep. Sometimes I get to bedtime and hope baby doesn't come because I'm so exhausted from a day of doing naff all But good luck for tomorrow

Question - Does the plug always come out pink or with blood in? I've been getting a clear jelly these past couple of days when I go to the loo. It's kind of like snot. Does this sound like it might be something?
I didn't want to be the kind to look at everything as a possible 'sign' but I think I already have I know I'm just going to send myself nuts.

with zane my plug was either snotty with pink or clear and then i had just bright red blood.

for me this time my plug has been coming away slowly the past few weeks which is lovely hahaha

 

[eandc123]

It's only been the past few times I've wiped but it's the only discharge of that kind i've had so far.

Reminds me of what I would get just before I came on.

i dont think my oh would of let me put his hat anywhere near a newborns bum tho hahaha

 

[jennthompson]

I'm loving the pics! Adorable

As for me, its been a rough day so far. Woke up with horrible pain in my lower right abdomen, have been to the loo about 4 times today with diarrhea and about an hour ago I got light headed and started seeing spots. When I checked my bp it is running 144/101 which worries me bc it has been normal the entire pregnancy and I was on bp meds before I fell pregnant.

I put in a call to the maternity ward, they are full and said to call my OB. She is out of town so I am waiting on the on call dr to return my call, which the answering service said could be a while

 

[sunshinegirl]

Abs - I hope this is it for you good luck

Jade - Get a good nights rest and good luck for tomorrow. So wish it was me.

My baby girl defo dropped more today can feel pressure so much lower. I better write out my birth plan now since it is my D Day tomorrow.

 

[Mark&Annie]

awwww kylars mum! the last pic of kendon with his arms behind his head, too cute for words!!!!
jenn hope everything is ok
we went out shopping to the saturday markets yesterday and I had to run into a supermarket toilet and was there for 25 mins with such awful stomach and cramps and dizzy and sweating....not good! I dont seem to be able to get rid of this bad stomach out here, its a bit worrying!

 

[CharlieKeys]

aww Mark&Annie - he's gorgeous!!! Congrats How's Joshua liking being a big brother so far?

Jade - Good luck for tomorrow! (am very jealous though hehe!) and get plenty of rest tonight!

Batty - did you phone up the midwife?

Vivenne - So sorry about your foot - it's the last thing you need right now!!

Jodie - Are you overheating hence why you feel like that? I found when I was pregnant first time around if I overheated then I'd feel dizzy, sick, get the runs, excessive sweating etc?

Afm.... I'm in pain - his head rubs against my pubic bone which feels like intense burning when I walk, I can hardly walk, I can turn over in bed, I can't pick my son up without feeling like I'm breaking etc I dunno where this came from overnight? It's horrible! I've had enough, I want him out and he's making it clear he's quite happy headbutting my cervix constantly and causing me grief! Thing that makes it worse is this time in my pregnancy first time around I was actually in early labour!!! grrrr

 

[Mark&Annie]

Ouch! That sounds awful I think Louis was pressing on my sciatic nerve at times, really painful, thankfully it was there one day and gone the next.

Joshua seems to really like him so far, he gave him loads of hugs and wanted to take him to bed with him! LOL

 

[mothercabbage]

lovin' those pics...awww too cute!

 

[CharlieKeys]

aww that's cute!!! Wonder how long it will last That picture of yours of them two together is adorable! Oh and what's your tip on how to look good after pushing a baby out?

 

[Mark&Annie]

Ha ha, yeah not long I'm sure!
Waterproof mascara LOL

 

[Jodie.82]
