Darling buds of May and June bugs!

I know what you mean about feeling like that. I've never felt like this before back aches, front aches, aching up there lol. Its extremely uncomfortable and the discomfort i was in last night nearly made me seek advice, bh are becoming a joke now. They last for hours at a time then just stop, but this has been happening for over a month now. Just keep thinking not too long to go now. Can't see anything happening soon for me, don't think i'd believe it if it did, i'm only used to the immediate and agonising pains you get when you're induced, anything less than that and i'd prob end up not thinking anything until it was unbearable and end up having her in the car on the way lol. I've been working out that the week i'd be 42 weeks is when all the jubilee stuff is going on so i'm hoping they'd start me off before all that kicks off lol. Wishful thinking XxX

Suze that's so weird, I was getting exactly the same thing yesterday. I was quite worried as Steven was on a fishing trip with his friends so I would have struggled to get in contact with him if I'd needed to and I was getting really bad pains in my lower back and tummy. Like you say it was exactly like period cramps!

We're only a day apart so maybe it's a sign of baby getting prepared? I hope so anyway, I'd love to have her at around 37/38 weeks!

 

[moggi]

My prediction is that i'll be 41 weeks and 3 days when i have her. I've got bleeding again, not sure its actually coming from up there and its not freely flowing but its annoying all the same. I know i should know, having had two before, but can these back and period cramps we get actually do anything or does it have to be full on rock solid bump to count as anything? Has anyone else noticed an increase in movement too, she really feels like shes fighting to break out sometimes lol. I've had enough for now anyway, feel far too old for this lark! Lets hope we're all feeling better soon XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

I have no idea having never done this before but I kind of presumed that the back ache and period pains were just due to cervix effacing as I've heard that can start to happen a few weeks before labour is due. I'm probably totally wrong though!

I've noticed a massive increase in movement some days and then a massive decrease on other days. Sometimes she really worries me as she'll have a really quiet day but then the next day she'll boot the hell out of me. I just can't wait to give birth now and have all the worries and aches and pains over!

 

[moggi]

Hmmm i'll ask the midwife tomorrow not that I have much faith that she'll answer me lol. The physical aches and pains go once you've given birth but unfortunately the worries don't end. Still worry about my 18 yr old lol. Its a life sentence XxX

 

[minidancer]

Rose hopefully your midwife will be a bit better tomorrow. Definitely mention the bleeding to her and see what she says.

Nicola maybe you are right and it's just our babies getting into position. It was definitely the week I went into labour I felt like this last time, but I'm with you, would love him to arrive at 37/38 weeks. How are you feeling today?

I am worried about but knowing I'm in labour too, ridiculous since I've already been through it but last time my waters broke first so I knew. I am sure when my contractions started I didn't notice my stomach going hard. When I got to triage and hooked me up to the monitor I was having really strong contractions but I didn't feel like they were that bad. It was when I reached 7cm that the pain really ramped up. So I'm the same as you Rose, worried I will leave it too long and the big hospital is a 2 hour drive away! I don't want my baby to have his place of birth as a road number

 

[moggi]

Thankfully my hospital is only up the road about ten mins in the car, poor you having to goso far. Bleeding seems to have stopped again, can't have been anything serious definitely think i'm poorly, feel so sick and backs just aching away plus she feels like shes about to drop out so i'm Going to bed now, fingers crossed i'll be feeling better after a sleep ready to do battle with the midwife in the morning XxX

 

[minidancer]

I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight Rose and good luck with your midwife! Hopefully she will be more helpful tomorrow than she had been previously!! xx

 

[gypsy1981]

Not in any pain today but for some reason I feel ridiculously emotional and have cried twice for no reason. I've not felt like this since 1st tri, do the hormones start surging again at this stage?

How are you feeling Suze? Have the pains eased at all today? 2 hours is quite a long drive to your hospital, think mine is about 15 mins away.

Rose I hope you feel better after some sleep. Sounds like Isobelle is really taking it out of you lately. Hope your midwife is a bit more helpful tomorrow than she has been so far. Definitely mention the bleeding to her although I'm sure it's nothing to worry about x

 

[minidancer]

Nicola, yes you do get a massive surge of hormones again before and after labour. It takes a while to get them all out of your system after baby arrives too. I think mine have come back with avengence too, my skin is absolutely terrible again. I was even googling whether that was a sign of imminent labour Glad you are feeling better pain wise, and the crying for no reason is totally normal. I had a few wee pains yesterday and when I woke in the night but feeling ok so far today. I have a wee hospital about 10 minutes away but it's only midwife led and absolutely no doctors, I think I would only stay there if my labour was going too quick to make the big hospital.

Good luck today Rose, hope it all goes well. How are yoh feeling today? Did you get a good sleep? xx

 

[dt1234565]

Hope all goes well today rose.

I am feeling ver envious about this baby now and about giving birth etc, I guess it's all normal emotion.

It was my birthday yesterday so I am now even older!!! I had a lovel day with friends and family treated myself to a glass of red and found out my niece is 8 weeks pregnant, fingers crossed for her!

X

 

[minidancer]

Happy birthday for yesterday Debbie! Glad you had a nice day and lovely news about your niece xxx

 

[moggi]

Happy Birthday for yesterday Debbie Just back from midwife, pretty pointless outing to be honest but did find out shes started to engage which I was surprised about as I didn't think it'd happen until much later being my third. Midwife wasn't remotely interested in my spotting yesterday or my back and period type pains, just said its the baby getting heavier etc etc. Next stop depression doctor tomorrow (so dull, can't wait) then growth scan on thurs which i'm desperate to find out how Shes doing. Decided i'm not going to bother telling 'health professionals' how shit i feel as they just seem to look at you as if you're crazy. Maybe its my hormones to blame too? Lol. XxX

 

[minidancer]

Ooh that's exciting Rose that she is engaging! Maybe that is what is causing all the bother, maybe she is pressing on your cervix causing the bleeding. You will be sick of the sight of health professional this week!

 

[moggi]

Yes it must be her sinking down causing all the grief, at least I know its not in my imagination now if that makes sense. Oh asked them if I could look round delivery suite she said not really (charming attitude) as they do it as part of the parentcraft sessions. She said I could ring and ask them if I could look round, said I wasn't that bothered about it, more nosey lol. Discussed my concerns about not knowing when your really in labour she just said you'll know. I said well yes i'm sure I will but not everybody does do they otherwise babies wouldnt be born down toilets, in cars etc. She just looked confused.......

From feeling like utter shit yesterday i've gone hyper today, still aching etc but all excited for absolutely no reason, must be hormones again lol. This is a bit too much info but is anyone else going to the loo for a number two far more frequently than before? Sorry but had to ask feel like i've got butterflies in private places too (if you know what I mean) told mark, he just looked at me as if I was mad.

Anyway, feel like doing some baby clothes washing or something productive so i'm off for now xxx

 

[minidancer]

Rose are you sure your midwife is a real Midwife She sounds completely clueless, a bit like the one crap midwife that I hate seeing!!

Yes I have been going more too but I think that is the iron tablets having an effect on me. I don't seem to suffer constipation when I'm on the for some reason.

Glad you are feeling good today! Did you get some washing done?

I had a productive day doing all hubby's paperwork and books to be sent to accountant. I wanted to be extra organised this year so I don't have I worry about doing that and looking after a baby and toddler. Will feel like a weight has been lifted tomorrow when I send it to accountant and can tick it off my to do list. Don't think I have much left on my list now-woohoo!!

 

[moggi]

I wonder if she's for real too lol. No didn't get that much done in the end, got distracted and ended up helping mark to build fence in garden. He'd been sent home early due to an accident in the factory and the whole place had to be shut down whilst there is an investigation. Well done for getting all the paperwork done XxX
