It is horrible hun i wish I new wat it was. It's like 5.30 in the morn here and I've been awake the whole night my legs feel so restless and I just can't get comfortble the presure in my bladder is so bad like I'm gonna burst but like u I know its not a infection. I noticed baby seemed quieter yest but been moving tonight. It's the not sleeping thing thats getting to me xx
 
Dd29, I'm not sure if it will work cos ur babies engaged. When i feel like I still need a wee but nothing comes out I move backwards and forwards on the toilet. It's what I done last time I had baby too cos I couldn't leave the hospital until I had emptied my bladder.

I've just noticed something dripping out of me. It's clear and I smelt it and it didn't smell of wee. And my discharge Isnt clear. I'm worried it could be my waters. Like if I have done some damage from the amount I have been coughing and being sick lately.

But it has stopped now and if it was waters it would be continuous wouldn't it?

It could be continuous but it could also just continue to trickle. One great trick to try is to lay in bed or on the couch for about 30 min. Then if you get up and feel lots of this trickling again I would go in and get it checked. (Oh! And put on a pad so they can test that) But if after you get up you don't feel anything then it could just be a different type of discharge.

I swear I feel like my waters are going all the time. :wacko:
 
Isn't it crazy how not to long ago we were talking and comparing all of our pregnancy symptoms and now we are talking about prelabor signs and symptoms?!

It dawned on me yesterday that I'm starting to get nervous and very anxious. All 4 of my boys were here at 38 weeks which would mean only 3 weeks left.

I told my doctor last week that I was getting scared of having the baby and her actually being a boy. I am afraid of buying anything pink! That and alot of people keep telling me that I'm carrying like a boy. Doc laughed and told me to tell them to put their money where their mouth his because he would bet them 100 dollars. I hope he is right!
 
aww amber - i know how you feel but i have bitten the bullet now and bought pink though i have packed white in my hospital bag just in case , even though i been told at 3 scans its a girl lol.

rach - not sure about waters , when mine broke with ds2 they went whoosh and broke like a kettle full had been spilled out of me lol .
 
Wow, it is crazy to think that we're all talking about labor signs now!

I am finally timing my contractions, and am pretty sure they're just braxton hicks... but who knows. I have no clue what to think anymore hahaha I get them pretty often, but they aren't really regular. So I don't know. I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens I suppose.

Rach, hopefully your little one will stay put for just a little while longer... :) I would just keep an eye on it, and do like Jenniflower said, laying down and seeing if you still leak laying down or if a rush trickles when you get up again.... Good luck! :)
 
My MIL has done alot of shopping. I have only bought enough pink for the 1st week or 2 but that should last me until my baby shower.

I am anxiously awaiting her arrival. I am bringing her home in the outfit my parents brought me home in.

In 2 weeks most of us will be considered fullterm.
 
i was wondering what it is like for our waters to break.. i was induced with my DD and they had to break mine for me.. so i have no idea what it is like to go into labour naturally and that is making me super nervous!!!!!

I have been getting braxton hicks like no tomorrow!!! Mostly about 7.30-8pm every night. It is super painful!!!!
I have all our bags packed.. the joys of it all.. List is on the fridge for Hubby to grab and get around and collect for when the time happens hahahaha :) Wonder if he will find it all :D
 
I done the laying down thing and nothing came out when I got up. I guess I just wet myself again. Lol.

I've been having lots of irregular tightnings today so I'm glad my womb is starting to get ready. My BH had pretty much dissappeared lately.

With my first my waters broke when I was a good few cm dilated. They were then going in with the needle thing to break them and they gushed just before. After my waters broke was when my contractions started to really hurt and when baby eve turned back round to back to back. Grr!

I'm finally getting there with baby stuff. I have brought absolutly eveything I need up to 3-6 months, with just a couple of things left to get with the rest of ages.

I'm thinking I should pack my hospital bag soon. I think about it daily, but so dar have just picked out the suitcase :-s

I really don't know what to put in it. The baby part of it is simple enough but what do I bring for me? I guess you take enough things for if you might have to stay in, but otherwise do you just wear a nightie or something to give birth in?

I also saw on another thread a lady who had a labour bag and then the like ward bag. Is that a good thing to do? Keep it seperate?
 
With my first I was shopping at Walmart. I thought I had peed my pants so I went to there bathroom finished peeing and then finished my shopping. I went to my parents house to take a shower and get ready for work. As I was getting in and out of the shower I noticed that it was slowly still trickling out. That was when I realized my water had broke in walmart.

With my 4th son, I had a sweep done and 1 1/2 days later my husband was pushing stuff off the counter, joking around with me, so I would have to pick it back up. After a couple times doing that my water broke and gushed all over.

Hi all

I'm starting to get anxious and excited too I don't know what to expect this time as on my DD I just went into labour with a show first then followed by contractions. With my DS my waters broke in the morning as I was getting up to do my 50 wee of the night but I just felt a pop in my sleep and it was only a small bit and no pain followed till I was checked and admitted. So I don't know what's going to happen this time round.

I have to get packing, I think it's a good idea to have a small bag for labour separate as my Hubby was so funny carry a big suit case around all day looked like he was going to do a runner :haha:

I hope I go on time too and hopefully we all do don't like the thoughts of going 10 days over :(
 
Hi ladies! Hope all is well and these blooming colds are not getting the better of you! So much to tell! Firstly, I was in hospital we'd thurs and let out fri night, I went in weds so they could just check everything was ok as baby had not moved in 24 hours, and when they put me on the machine, they asked if I was uncomfortable or in pain, I saidno, just had cold and sore throat so normal aches and pains you get with that, and it turns out I was actual having contractions every 8 - 12 minutes! So they examined me, and my plug had started to come away and baby is fully engaged! So they admitted me as they said it will either calm and be a false alarm or progress into labour! Obviously it turned into a false alarm but it was scary they even told my partner to prepare not to go home empty handed lol!

So, following that we've been and got last few bits today so we re all prepared, we've arranged for pram to be ready then my best friend and I were meeting up for dinner, we went for a drink after and she had arranged a surprise baby shower, which was so lovely, had such a great night feeling half normal again going out and socialising! Then I got home and our pram Is here all set up, car seat, carry cot and all the extra's :) so all in all a fantastic baby filled day and we are all set now! Scary stuff, with four weeks till due date but they are still telling me I won't make it till then, I'm happy everything is set and ready, so happy! :)

Happy new year everyone, looking forward to all becoming mummies this year xxx
 
I'm feeling so frustrated not knowing what these contractions are.. I'm tempted to head to the hospital just in case, because I've been having tightenings all day, lasting 30-45 seconds each, and it seems like I'm getting more per hour (but I SUCK at remembering to watch the time they happen!)..... And now my back is absolutely killing me... Oyyy.... I dunno what to do...
 
By the way, I FINALLY had my maternity pictures done today!! Here are a few of my favorites... They were all done with film by one of my closest friends. I just can't decide which are my absolute favorites :)

Thank you both!!


Well, I just got home from the hospital... turns out I was having contractions! Lol Not BH either... Real contractions! But I'm not dialated, but am very slightly effaced.. They gave me a shot to slow/stop the contractions, along with a medication. Here is the catch though. The meds will take a week to actually get approved and receive. In one week, if I'm having contractions still, they won't stop labor and I'll be having her. Soooo it sounds like I'll be having her soon, more than likely. That shot was NO fun though. It made me all shaky, and now woozy... And now i'm still having mild contractions, but they seem to be building in strength again. So who knows, really. But I believe that at this point if I went back with the contractions, they wouldn't give me another shot, they'd just let it happen... Pretty freaky being soooo close!!

Anyways, thought I'd update you all! Now I have to get to bed since it's almost midnight and I have to work in the morning (joy... I get to follow my student around while most likely having contractions.. this will be interesting..). Guess we'll know tomorrow whether I can continue working or not!!! :D

I agree, with my son i was in hospital for 4 days and i STILL managed to overpack and i STILL had less in my bags than most people pack lol!!! I really don't see the need

I have two bags because my bags are small, my baby bag is likea handbag size and has a couple of vests, sleepsuits, nappies, a hat, a snowsuit, a thin blanket, a thicker blanket

my own bag is like a bowler bag if you know what that is, has some maternity pj bottoms, a easy access to boobs nightie, a baggy tshirt, some breast pads, some maternity towels, nursing bra, bottle of dilutable squash as i hate just drinking water so i can add it to my water, some tracksuit bottoms and a jumper to come home in, slippers because my hospital is filthy lol, some cooling spray because the hospital is SO hot, some lucozade tablets and high energy snacks, hairbrush and a couple of mini toiletries incase i end up in there a while!(including deodrant lol)
