Fed up!

[cabaretmum2b]

I will apologise in advance, as I have posted this in 3rd tri, but I'm just feeling so crappy right now and there are different people there and here

Last night I was convinced I was in labour for the second time this week, although last night was a lot more intense! Up till 1:30am with horrid horrid cramps, then woke up at about 4am with what I thought were contractions, but seemed to turn out to just be REALLY painful braxton hicks! Went for a walk around 6am, then went back to bed as everything had pretty much stopped. All day today I've had a really achey lower back and belly, along with loads more trips to the loo than I am accustomed to - and not just for a wee! I've also been feeling really sick the past couple of days, and, being emetophobic, this does not bode well for me!
I'm really upset with my body teasing me like this - I am fed up of being pregnant, as I've had such bad moodswings, rib pain and sciatica, and really can't wait to meet my little girl!
I know I'm oly 38 weeks, but another two - and possibly 4! - just seems like absolutely forever away.
I guess I'm just ranting really, but does anyone think this sounds like it could be something slowly starting? Or have any tips for getting things going a bit quicker?

im at the same stage as you and feeling the exact same way

iv tried everything from sex,to bumpy rides,long walks,pineapple,bouncing on the ball,and nothing has worked for me yet im thinking 2 weeks doesnt seem like alot but 4 weeks sounds like a lifetime away aswell but hoping it wont come to that!
i thik its our body preparing for the real thing but one occasion of these pains and itl be a startxx

I've tried all that and more to boot, too! With any luck, we'll both pop very soon. We've done our time, surely!!!

 

[bbyno1]

babies will only come when they are ready is what everyone keeps telling me lol
surely they are ready now tho!!
have you been told when you may be getting a sweep done?X

 

[cabaretmum2b]

Well she can hurry up and be ready then, can't she???

My MW won't do one until I'm at least a week overdue How about you?

 

[bbyno1]

haha she can!lol
well she says between 40 and 41 weeks so thatl make me 40 +# by the time i get mine as all my appointments are on tuesdays..i dont even want one but i realllyy dont wanna be induced so i guess im better off taking it x

 

[cabaretmum2b]

Yeah, I suppose it is the lesser of the two evils :/ Still, that is still two weeks away, so with any luck something will have happened by then
Does your mw do internals or anything like that? I don't think that mine does, but I'd kind of like to know if I'm dilated or effaced or anything. My mw is really shitty though, she'd probably find it gross if I asked her to check!

 

[bbyno1]

lool my midwifes are quite useless to be honest!
the one i usually get is really ruff!when she feels my stomach to see where baby is laying i come out with a massive stomach ache for like the next two hours where she is far too ruff!
Im not sure if she does internals..i was thinking of asking on tuesday tho?

when i went last week obv i was 37 weeks and she was like your not far..you dont want baby coming out yet anyway..i was like oh thanks make me feel better why not lol x

 

[cabaretmum2b]

Yes you do want her coming out, full term is full term! lol!
Had another night of bloody painful contractions for hours last night, which stopped after about 3 hours! Grrr. I was almost going to call the hospital at one point, but I just thought "Well, it hasn't been labour before this, so it's probably not now!"
My mw is really rough too, I wonder what they've been teaching them lately! Do you have a special "teen midwife" or just a normal one? Mine's a teen midwife who has never had children, is always wearing loads of makeup and false eyelashes and at one point had fake nails on! At my 33 week appointment, she honestly thought she could hear two heartbeats on the doppler!

 

[bbyno1]

Thats what im saying! lol she didnt seem to agree..i was asking about sweeps and she looked at me like huh your 3 weeks away yet why you asking that for already i just like to know whats happening next!
Aww hope you don't get anymore false ones! i was up last night for about 45 mins with painfull somethings,might not even be contractions im not even sure lol but i had one tightening and a shooting pain at the same time and omg i was literally clenching on to the bath towel rack lol then they went i was like ow
I just have a normal midwife..community ones tho so they always switch but listen to your midwife lol scaring you,you might have two heartbeats what a joke x
