8 minutes is getting there! This is exciting! The ones I had two weeks ago were at 8 min apart and pretty bearable, never changed in strength, but I did nothing to encouragr them and they got me from tightly closed to a 2! Its most likely doing something! Just gotta keep them going! good luck!

Ugh I need to do something to get some contractions. I'd do anything to feel some.sort of productive pain!

Same. I'm feeling kinda desperate even though my due date is 8 days away!

Might have to DTD this morning...not that I'm even remotely in the mood. I'm such a gassy whale

 

[Amsan]

I still have 6 and feel like NOTHING is happening. I can't even dtd

 

[Amsan]

Woohoo!!!

 

[craftymama]

Yay drudai! Enjoy your last meal lol!

I decided to trick baby out and made this shirt. Certainly since I'm wating for it to dry to wear it, baby will come? The pumpkin will be positioned right over my belly. That is if I did it correctly

 

[Amsan]

That is super cute!!

What's it look like when your water breaks? Last night I kinda felt a gush and my underwear got a good size wet spot, definitely not urine. Changed and woke up dry. Now while I've been at work I have another huge wet spot, definitely not urine, but I haven't *felt* anything trickling out.. although I've also been sitting all day..

 

[Wilsey]

Not sure Amsan, I had mine broken in hospital last time. Could be a slow leak rather than a gush. Definitely would be a good sign

 

[Amsan]

I called and she said if it were my waters I'd probably feel something trickle down my leg or I'd be consistently wet. If I still feel wet in an hour to call and they'd get me in to check but I may wait until tomorrow morning after I've been home and can actually change and tell if Im still wet

 

[Wilsey]

Yeah maybe wait until you get home so that you can lie down for half an hour, stand up and see if anything leaks out.

 

[Amsan]

I think I will. Because I've literally been sitting on my ass all day so idk how I'd feel anything trickle out lol

 

[NewAtThis13]

Mine were consistently trickling with my daughter. Maybe your baby's head is just plugging it up and when he moves it leaks! lol

 

[Wilsey]

So had my 39 week midwife appointment and she checked me (unusual here but think it's cos I want a VBAC) she said I'm favourable and baby would come within a week. She gave me a stretch and sweep anyway to kick things off and hoping to labour within 48 hours or try inducting next week.

 

[NewAtThis13]

yayyyy good luck!!!

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks!! She could feel baby's head and said she could easily break my waters. Wonder how long it takesto start cramping?!

 

[NewAtThis13]

no idea! never had one. But I am hoping my doctor will get me going tomorrow after my appt. Or Thursday morning at the latest. I am having so many irregular contractions/pains I am fed up and tired as I can't sleep more than an hour or so at a time.

 

[Mummy Bean]

Ooh go Wilsey. My contraction started 12 hrs after i had mine. They say if gonna do work then it will with 24-48 hrs. Try keep real active tomorrow.

So hope it works for u. X

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks ladies! I was surprised when she text me and said she had a cancellation and if I wanted to come early and get a stretch & sweep I was welcome to. I'll let you know how I get on

 

[MrsH1980]

Ahhhhhh, jealous ladies!!! Hope you all get to meet The bubbas soon; am sure I'll still be here on induction day :/

 

[Mummy Bean]

Maybe jump the OH tonight...might get things going.
