Hi!I am due on the 14th and have been experiencing similar to you.The other day I was having regular contractions for a couple of hours and they were pretty strong ones too.Still here waiting today!I am moving house on the 19th and was hoping he would either come early or a couple of weeks after my due date....the way it stands at the moment is that i'm worrying he'll come on the day we move and totally throw a spanner in the works.

Good luck, I hope you get to meet your baby soon!! x

 

[ClairAye]

Fingers crossed your little man doesn't keep you waiting much longer!

Ive come to the.conclusion that im going over aswell. .

 

[Amsan]

Might as well come to terms with it

 

[Amsan]

I'm getting more and more scared for labor too. As much as I want him here I am terrified to go through the process lol. Ugggh.

 

[Amsan]

Right!!! Exactly! And then I actually IMAGINE pushing this 7ish lb baby out and it just terrified the shit out of me lol.

 

[craftymama]

I'm with you..I feel like I'm going to go over.. Tomorrow is the most pregnant I've ever been! My daughter came at 38+3. I have spent so much time on the ball the last few days...anytime I sit it's on the ball. It's causing a lot of cramping and but I've not had much for contractions. I'm just hoping the cramping is doing some thinning out! I have a loooong ways to go to get thinned. You've got most of the work out of the way being so thinned out at least! That's the hard part(except for you know, the pushing out of a watermelon ) Soon. It can't possibly go for more than another 2 weeks...

 

[Amsan]

My child would go that far over just to spite me I've not had the contractions really either. Also just cramping

 

[sweetpea417]

In my last experience, my contractions were like period cramps. Don't discount them yet! I think it feels a little different for everyone. I have also heard those types of cramps are a way for you to dilate so maybe it's doing some of that! I had some bad cramps last night and was getting all excited lol and then nothing..

 

[Amsan]

Such onry babies!!! Lol. I've had this random burning sensation at the top.of my bump all day too now???

With my last baby I lost the plug, bloody show, etc. the day before induction. The contractions were non-mistakable. Even though it was my first, I knew exactly what they were. They started in the morning (right before my grandmother's funeral....awesome) but fizzled out in the evening. The next day when I was induced, the contractions felt like period cramps for hours & progressively got worse. I'm so confused. I've been cramping for a week & have had some what felt like painful Braxton hicks. The last two mornings I actually felt like I was about to get my period with a dull back ache & cramping (don't miss that at all!). I had a back ache for hours last night. Nothing too painful, just dull. But I had my 38 week check yesterday & I'm 1/2 cm, high & thick. So wtf? It's so confusing & this is my second! Hang in there girl, he'll be here before you know it.

 

[Amsan]

It really is confusing!!! Grrr.

 

[Wilsey]

Ouch! Just bent over (from sitting position) to check my sons nappy and had some awful pains. Can't do damage to her from bending...can I?

 

[iluvmyfamily]

No don't worry. Bending over won't hurt your baby I've had that pain before too.

 

[Wilsey]

No don't worry. Bending over won't hurt your baby I've had that pain before too.

Phew! Thanks! I feel fine now but it felt really wrong at the time! Thankfully his nappy didn't need to be changed

 

[MrsH1980]

Yep, I feel the same Hun - have now come to terms with going over and possible induction if it comes to it (I have been given an induction date of 2 weeks today 19th oct).

Trying not to worry about the size of the baby (although midwife said last week it was round the 8lb mark already ) and trying to focus on keeping active and not expecting every twinge to be the start of something.

The next week/two weeks are going to draaaaaag

 

[Wilsey]

I'm trying not to stress about the size of the baby either! Just had a growth scan at 38w2d and she's estimated at 3.5kgs (7lbs 7oz) already. Trying to take it with a grain of salt.

I also think I'll go overdue. I was overdue by a week with my son. Except this time they will only let me go a few days overdue before doing another section, so I'm not feeling uber positive about getting my VBAC but oh well, I just keep telling myself as long as baby is healthy, that's all that matters!!

If it wasnt for low fluids and having to be induced, i really think she would of went over..they had a hard time getting me to dilate while being induced.. plus i notice she id very needy with havng to be close to me..cant put her down for five minutes! really think she wasnt ready to come out
