Wnt2bamom - good luck!
Captain - I never had a changing bag, I have one that matched the pram this time and I may or may not use it. I usually buy a new bag each season and just make sure it has enough room for mummy bits and bobs in. Unless I planned on being out all day it really only contained a muslin cloth, 2 nappies, wipes and a spare set of breast pads - in addition to my phone and purse. I kept a spare sleepsuit and vest in the car for just in case moments.
I feel a little silly, I have absolutely no idea if I am getting contractions or not and have nervously sent DH off to work tonight.
Quite a few days this week I have been getting Braxton hicks(?) semi-regularly 5-7 minutes apart for an hour or so, particularly on two days when I had done a lot.
This afternoon and evening I have been getting painful contractions (?) which mostly need a little breathing/concentration through, they are lasting around the 45 - 60 second mark, have been 8-12 minutes apart at times.
I really don't remember this at all with DS, I had labour all in my back with him, really worried that if these get worse that I wont cope as they are quite severe already.
I really don't want the baby to arrive yet either, the house is a state, no where for baby to sleep etc, DH has a busy night at work an hour and a half away, we have bad weather (snow), I'd like to at least labour in the pool which will need DH to set up.
I am hoping if I got to bed and sleep then it will wear off, if I get woken by pains then I guess this is it? How can I not know what labour feels like on my second baby?!
