hi all

sorry i havent been on, i can read posts but no comment on my fone for sum reason so i have been checking up on all u, so much to catch up on the though, my internet at home is awful, i blame my oh for being on xbox live 24/7 constantly cuts me off so i tend to give up.


eve/dm due to have severe depression and panic disorder my physh (sp? lol) from the anti natel mental health team have also got my meds sorted for after i labour cos app i am high risk for pnd, the tabs im on now have had to be decresed last week but shall be upped the day of birth and i can bf with them, but they have been great, even the post natel team have foned me and organised a home visit twice a week for a few weeks after the birth just to support me so i dont go agrophobic again, it nice to no im not the only one that cud suffer from pnd and i have support,

Hann, happy due date, mines tueday but i no he wont cum out on time

The shooting pains are probably your cervix starting to dilate/efface and move, also when baby's head is pressing down on it pain can be caused. It's a good sign, even if it does hurt like mad at times!!!

AFM Really disappointed that nothing has happened today. Been on my ball, done preggo yoga, dtd (but ended up with killer headache yet again when I o'd), have even tried homeopathic remedies my friend gave me, all I'm getting is tightenings not even regular ones, grrr.

Fi - are you finding you are getting serious contractions and discomfort after DTD?

 

[samzi]

ive been having on and off period type pains since 9pm-ish. prob just getting teased as usual but you never know

 

[Aaisrie]

Ems I'm glad you have the support in place. I was agoraphobic too [4-5yrs housebound] but have worked through a LOT of recovering!!! I definitely wouldn't want to go back there which I think is why I'm so daunted by having a child because I remember what I was like first time and how much it knocked me back - exactly as DM said, the apprehension. It gives me hope that DM has had such a different experience this time and the fact that I have the support in place BEFORE it happens!!

Hi all sorry for short post nut writing whilst pumping!

Hann - hope the pains are regular for you! Let us know and I am really hoping this is it for you!

Need to do a feed now - we are feeding every three hours as Ahay dropped 9.6% of birth weight. They are not too worried but I am so want to keep his food topped up. Also had good session with a BF lady at hospital - still hurts but helped with positioning.

Eve - thanks for your help!

 

[Hann12]

Humm so they are still coming on, averaging 5 minutes apart (though some have been 8 minutes and some 6) and lasting around 40-50 seconds. They are bearable, like period pain with some back pain, not having to breath deeply through them yet. Guess I'll just have to see if they get worse or disappear! Really hope get worse!

 

[samzi]

mine have stopped, oh what a surprise lol

 

[Hann12]

Okay baby has dropped lower and moved to a central right position from being on the left. I'm thinking the contractions have been to do with the movemebt, having said that they are still coming and getting more intense but feeling them mainly in my back and bottom. So hard to know if it's the real thing!!

 

[mummySS]

Sounds kinda promising Hann but i dont want to get your hopes up just in case!

Fi, nothing seems to be working for me either so i really sympathise. i don't even get any form of twinge or contraction. Nothing at all! How annoying that you keep getting a migraine after O - talk about unfair!

Curlew - at your ironing withdrawal symptoms! That's amazing you managed to take both kids to a museum and BF there too. you are truly superwoman!

Emee - sorry you sound so uncomfortable

Mel - any updates on the waters??

 

[Hann12]

Just spoke to the labour ward, they think it could be early labour, even if it stops and starts over a couple of days apparently! I am still getting the pains but going to try and sleep. Would not be surprised if I go to sleep and wake up and they are gone but hopefully whatever this is is a step forward anyway! Will keep you updated if things move on!

does sounds promising then!! Feel free to text whenever! xx

EDIT - imagine if you actually give birth on your due date!

 

[Tor81]

Sorry, not had a chance to catch up properly yet, have skim read though. Been feeling uncomfortable for the last few hours & it's definitely coming in waves. Must just be teasing though because everyone says you know when it's real & I don't!

Can't sleep though, mind is racing (and then gets interrupted everytime I get one of these pains!). They're like period pains but also feels like I really need the toilet for a number 2!

xx

 

[gw76]

Tor, that is how I felt with both my LOs - even this time with Hailey and being induced it was all in my back...The pressure you will feel when you are ready to push will be exactly that - the feeling of having to have a poo, only it is multiplied by a lot...

Hope you get some rest and that this is the beginning

Actually, hope that all of you who are suffering get some relief soon!

 

[Hann12]

Tor - feeling the same and cervix pressure - now starting to feel sick and dizzy, but so don't want to get my hopes up! Going to do a hypno birthing cd to see if that helps as I'm struggling with sleep.
I hope this is it for both of us!!

 

[caz_hills]

Wow loads going on tonight!!! Hope you all are ok and progress .

Have been feeding non stop for three hours - Ajay just wants to eat!

Wonder when he will stop.......

 

[mummySS]

Tor and Hann - fingers crossed for you both!

 

[BlueViolet]

Hann, good luck! It definitely sounds like things are progressing. You can do it

Tor, mine started as period pains. Definitely time them and see how regular they are. I hope this is it for you

I'm pumping, so I can't type much. Good luck to all the ladies overdue and wishing lots of sleep tonight for the new moms!

 

[caz_hills]

Sleep ... What is that?! And I'm only on day 6!

Good luck Hann and Tor!
