End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[Zfbaby]

So I'm having a but of a dilemma here. Not sure if this is wishful thinking. I'm having bh really often. Haven't been timing them but they are quite frequent. They are painful more so than usual, I have pain in my back with them and a deep pain in my pelvis. I also feel very damp, I've checked and there's no loss of plug just a lot of cm. I have pressure in my bum and what feels like gas bubbles in my back. I've never had this before. Is it anything significant? When I do get a braxton my stomach stays rock hard for ages, over 2 mins. What do you think?

 

[Zfbaby]

Also getting shooting pains down there which are going through to my bum.
Hmm not sure if this is anything or nothing. Dh won't be back from work until 5am and I don't want to have to get him to take me anywhere if it's a false alarm when he should be sleeping. I can't tell if there's a pattern or not?

 

[babyface15]

ooh could be something!! Start timing them and see if you are having a pattern
good luck keep me posted

 

[Little Ducky]

Sounds like it could be something zf, how are you feeling now? Did it lead anywhere?


My pregnancy buddy, that I have shared my journey with since the start has just gone into labour 2 weeks early. I'm thrilled for her, but feeling even more fed up now!

Time how far apart they are and how wrong there lasting, good luck

 

[OmiOmen]

I had a day when I timed them and they were every 14-15 minutes and worse than normal and it turned out to be nothing. Hopefully yours are the start of something though. Keep us updated.

Ooooooooh I wonder how Zfbaby is! Hope you're ok hun
Every time I go on here now and I see someone has posted I think: oh maybe someone else is about to give birth! lol
I'm so annoyed with my hubby this morning grrrrrrrrr. This basically is the last morning I can have a lie in before giving birth etc. so I let him have a lie in yesterday and then this morning he also didn't bother getting up!!! So I'm sat downstairs watching tickety tock with Marielle whilst he is still in bed, fast asleep. Grrrrrr he just doesn't think and thinks he needs to stay in bed because he's tired. Well........he's not about to give birth this weekend!! Ok......rant over

 

[babyface15]

I wonder how zfbaby is!!
aw Pebbie, I'd be waking him up if I were you

it's mothers day here in Canada wonder if dh had the foresight to pick me up a card lol. I'd like breakfast in bed too except we're going out for brunch with family
happy north American mothers day to all the moms and moms to be

 

[Zfbaby]

Morning ladies quick update as I'm about to get in the bath again.
Tightenings continuing now roughly at 5-10 mins but not consistently Mw says could be the start could be nothing so if they keep up to pop down and see them ( saves a drive to main hospital) Pains in pelvis are still very much there but not increasing in intensity- around a 5/6 so after my bath were all going for a long walk. I was really hopeful last night but I'm starting to lose that a bit as things aren't increasing just feel the same

 

[pebbie1]

It can still be the start of things Zfbaby! Will they not look at you now as you'll need an emergency c-section if you're in labour?

 

[OmiOmen]

If they are still going it sounds promising. I was getting them every 15 minutes and they were increasing intensity but it only lasted about 12-14 hours for me and then they stopped.

 

[passion4shoes]

Good luck zf x

I am hoping for no false starts!! Sounds exhausting!

 

[babyface15]

How are you feeling zfbaby?

Hubby never got me a card or anything, i'm super hormonal and got upset about it. He came up after w a card he printed out

I'm feeling super moody the past few days and quite off today! Hopefully the end is in sight

 

[pebbie1]

Awe bless you babyface! I was in a mood with hubby for him not letting me have a lie in lol. He came downstairs with a puppy face on and felt very guilty, but it got better during the day

Zfbaby hope all is OK hun xxx

 

[pebbie1]

Zfbaby hope you're OK!

Purple01, good luck with your c-section today. Baby nr2

 

[CLH_X3]

I got midwifes in a hour .... Won't be anything exciting tho!

 

[pebbie1]

See if bump measures OK CLH!
I feel like cleaning today but trying to drag myself off the sofa is a bit hard lol

 

[passion4shoes]

Good luck purple!

I am planning on sorting the nursery some more today - didn't do anything over the weekend. Had my hospital tour. I was really impressed with it but it was so busy! Only one pool. The rooms were really bright and clinical. My OH was so anxious just walking round it that he was sweating and picking his skin! We are both sure about our decision to home birth now. Although reassured should I need to go in.

Starting to dread each nighttime now. Sleeping is very difficult as I am so uncomfortable. Feel really sorry for OH. I try to be quiet but can't get comfortable and can't settle or move without grunting lol!

How are you all feeling today? Got any plans?

 

[pebbie1]

Night times are awful I really struggle to breathe through my nose when I'm on my left side but when I'm on my right side my hip starts to hurt really bad and according to hubby I snore like a pig lol. So I've got 2 pillows but last night put the v-shaped feeding pillow I have on top and I could lie on my back and I didn't wake up with hip pain, just peeing about 6 times!

 

[OmiOmen]

I am not sleeping too badly, I keep waking up to pee and my pelvis hurts when I lay down but I have felt so worn out recently I can't stay awake. I almost always have problems trying to get and stay asleep so it is not like me at all. I am thankful though because I remember with DS1 I wasn't sleeping much at all by the end and then when he was born he was a dreadful sleeper for the first 12-18 months.

I packed my hospital bag yesterday for the third time and hope I don't have to do it again. Today I have a lot of washing to get through and ideally a little packing however I need to find the energy to do it first.

Hope the midwife appointment goes well CLH. When do they start doing internal checks?
