Hey girls, its the afternoon here so prob nighttime for most of you. Sar glad you are able to go home and hopefully little joe will be joining you soon, love the name! Mom2B your lil gals bedroom is lovely!

Well I keep hoping something is going on down there but I'm pretty sure I'm reading way too much into everything now as I want it to happen so badly! Getting more CM than normal today and still had a tiny bit of spotting. I'm sure its all nothing though....can't help but get my hopes up though

Spotting is a good sign!

I'm going to be 33 wks on Tuesday and I have my appointment on wednesday, I am wondering what to expect at this appointment.

 

[Mom 2B]

I've been having period like cramps for 3 hours now. They have never lasted this long. No bleeding thou. Should I be worried? I mentioned cramps to my dr last week and told him there was no bleeding and they only lasted about 30 minutes the few times ive had them. Just wondering if 3 hours is long enough to be concerned? Ive been sitting down and had something to eat for about 45 minutes and they have not gone away or eased up at all. What do you think ladies?

I am not sure hun is there a triage at your hospital you can call? I think you should call in just to be sure

 

[Mom 2B]

I called the hospital and they said it doesn't sound like labour related. The pains arte only on my left side and low like period pains. The nurse told me to have a big drink of water and try a warm bath. if they dont go away and are still bothering me I can go in and get checked out but she said it donest sound serious. Could be a bladder infection but I dont think it is....ive had those before and this feels nothing like that. So im off to have a bath.

At the antenatal session I went to she said to go straight in if we had cramps. Having said this, I had them a few weeks ago and my midwife told me to take a couple of paracetamol and go to bed for a few hrs. Contact your midwife or hospital birth ward and ask- you should have someone you can contact in case of emergencies. If there isn't anyone then if they're not getting better go to your ER. It's prob nothing much except a few BH (my midwife said they can sometimes feel like period pains tho a lot of the ladies on here have said they shouldn't hurt at all) but better to be safe, just for your own piece of mind.

Can't sleep at all tonight. Really itchy and too warm. Plus heartburn. Sigh.
How old are all the first time mummies? I keep forgetting how old I am and thinking I'm too young to be a mum then I remember I'll be 30 in jan and I'm pretty old for a first time mum. Strangely ironic, considering that OH is 7 and a half yrs younger than me and so is prob pretty young for a 1st time dad.

 

[Mom 2B]

I did call the hospital labour ward. I took a bath and that made them worse while inthe tub but now that im out they are the same as they were before the tub.
I dont think its BH cuz they dont come and go like contractions....its a constant cramping.
I dont have any tylenol (which Im pretty sure is what your paracetamol is) All I have is Advil (ibuprofen) which Im not allowed to take because im past 30 weeks. I think ill go bug the neighbours for some tylenol if they are still awake....its 10:30pm here now.
Im still not bleeding so I really dont know what to think of them. I know I will not be able to sleep through them so once i get some tylenol into me ill give it another hour and see how im feeling. if they are not gone i might go get checked out.

 

[blessed]

I get something like this one time a month (like my body wants its period or something), the longest it has lasted was 2 days! My doctor, nor the hospital were concerned about it... but I would definitely hit the triage if at all possible.. thats what I did. Baby was doing just fine... lots of water, lots of rest hon! Feel better soon!

 

[Mom 2B]

Well its now been 7 hours of these cramps and im going to get checked out at the hospital. They have not gotten worse but they have not gotten better either. I took 2 tylenol and laid down for an hour and they are still there so ill update when i know anything.

 

[hodbert]

Hope everything is ok Mom2B.

 

[Jolene]

Thinking of you Mom2be.

Lisa, sounds like the eviction process might be working. FX for you hun.

LittleMrs, I was 20 when I had my son and will be 31 on the day this LO is born. Don't worry you're only as old as you feel. (And not how you feel now when you're pregnant, lol, cos now I feel about 65)

 

[hodbert]

Forgot to say, I'm 27.

 

[Mom 2B]

Ok so I'm in hospital. Not in labour. They think bladder or kidney infection because my urine is very cloudy and has stuff floating in it. Tmi sorry. They are keeping me over night because my dr will be here in the morning so if I need meds he can write them for me. So a crappy night sleep for me tonight as I'm in pain and it's almost 230 am now. I think the dr will be in around 8. IM off to try to catch some zzzzzzzz's now

 

[jojo-m]

Glad it's not labour mom2b hopefully a pescription from doc and you be home for some rest! X

 

[jojo-m]

I was 26 when I had my son 27 when he was a month old. I'm 31 now x

 

[Fraggles]

Hope you are on the mend soon Mom2b

I was 30 with my first child

 

[LittleMrs]

Glad u got it checked out, laura. Hopefully you'll be feeling much better once you've seen the dr.

Phew, Im really glad that everyone seems a much more normal age than I thought. In our little town first time mums are either much younger or much older than I am. Thought I was a bit of a weirdo. Thanks, ladies, once again you have rescued me from my own insane paranoia. Honestly don't know what I'd do without you lot.

 

[Disneydancr]

Glad to hear you're getting taken care of Mom 2b. I was going to suggest lots of water, as dehydration can cause those cramps or an infection.

Lisa, I hope your spotting means your time to meet your LO is drawing near!

LittleMrs, I'm 25. Some days that feels very young, other days it's old! OH is 13 years my elder though! He'll be 39 2 days before my EDD. (I'll be 26 in March)

 

[LittleMrs]

Disney- liking the age gap. I love all age gap relationships because they make me feel better about our age gap (though it's still usually older man younger woman) OH thinks it's hysterical when I get asked for ID and he doesn't but it doesn't happen often (more often since I'm pregnant though, which I thought was weird).
