Twinkle, I'm still waiting for my glow to arrive! Think I must have missed that stage. Although annoyingly people keep saying how good I look, which is annoying because I feel the worst I have felt all pregnancy!

We've bought a bouncer. Hopefully Dylan will like it as it will be really handy to be able to put him down for a few mins and know he is safe in there. I am thinking for when I want a shower and stuff as once DH goes back to work, and my mum has come and done her stint I'll be on my own.

I don't know what these pains are. Been woken up again by them, this is the 5th day now of having them. It feels like really bad trapped wind, and I think some of the pains are, but some of them don't seem to be. My stomach doesn't seem to be going hard so don't think they are contractions. I'm wondering if I have a tummy bug/food poisoning. I don't really feel that ill though although I have been rushing to the loo a bit and feeling sick. Not had any full on vomiting but have sort of been a bit sick in my mouth sometimes (sorry I know that is gross). I saw my consultant Monday and he had a feel of baby when I said about the pains and his only comment was 'baby is definitely head down' and he seemed happy enough. Not sure whether to go to the doctors, what do you reckon? I just want to know what it is really, bit worried in case it is a bug or food poisoning just in case it could do anything. Any ideas??
 
Perhaps it'd be worth calling the midwife Broody and asking what she thinks. I'm sure that when I was in labour I was definitely having contractions(obviously, because she was born within 3 hours!) but my stomach wasn't contracting properly or going very hard and the contractions weren't being picked up on the monitor either :shrug:
It could just be usual pains and aches, I always remember being about 34-35 weeks pregnant with Ellie, or at least a bit later than this and waking up in the night with really bad stomach pain/cramp that felt like I had really bad trapped wind. Sorry for TMI but I'd end up sitting on the toilet for about 45mins -1hour because it felt that bad and I was sure I needed to go. I keep wondering if and when that is going to start happening again :wacko:
 
Broody, if it is a bug or food poisoning it won't actually do anything to the baby. The only time it really needs medical intervention (and the only thing they can even do for you) is when you are either having a lot of diarrhea and vomiting or just a lot of one or the other. They'd bring you in for re-hydration if that were the case as being dehydrated can certainly cause pre-term labour. That is really the only risk when it comes to stomach bugs and food poisoning while pregnant.

I do wake up with some really bad gas at night, and when it is bad enough it can irritate things and cause them to constrict. Our bowels are being all but crushed right now so it can be totally normal at this point to have huge problems with gas pain and even our bowel movements.

I would talk to someone about it if you're concerned though, it is always better to ask than leave it if it is worrying you.
 
I actually woke up around 2am with the same pains. I ended up laying in bed for an hour just trying to breathe through it. They eventually went away and I fell back asleep. I'm guessing they're just a normal squished bowel pregnancy thing too, but definitely talk to your mw to check everything out if yours are that bad.
 
just realized today, i could go over my due date which would mean if i was being induced it means baby would be born October so thought id best pop my head in and say hello incase you see this name again lol :d hope your all well
 
Thanks girls. I've actually been feeling better since i wrote that! Trying to get hold of mw anyway but she is pretty elusive!
 
I wouldnt worry broody it sounds like it could be pretty normal if we've all experienced it in later pregnancy! On the topic of midwives...mine is elusive too :haha:
 
Everyone in my antenatal class was moaning about their midwives. Mine is lovely but she never answers the phone or calls you back. I've had to ring the hospital several times for advice just because i can't get hold of her. Not good.
 
Yep. I've had to do the same ringing the MAU because my midwife is awol :wacko:
 
Anyone who's getting BH, have you noticed an increase around the 30 week mark? Today i've had so many it's been unreal. I've even been noticing them when walking. (something i never had with the others) Baby has been super active too today, he's been none stop shifting and stretching since i woke. I think he's getting pretty crammed in there.

9 weeks tomorrow until my section, these last few weeks seem to have flown by.
 
Still haven't noticed any BH here, but I am suspicious I get them in my sleep as I've woken up a few times and noticed my stomach feels really tight :shrug:

I'm due 24th! I bet you'll end up meeting your LO before me, but last pregnancy I did my fair share of queue jumping and was induced 10 days early :haha:
 
I am totally with ya paytonsmom. Im getting a ton of them. They don't hurt or last long
 
I didn't have any at 30 weeks but now that I am 34 weeks it's been coming frequent and a LOT. and they are painful whereas I used to get them and they weren't painful. makes me think that maybe they aren't quite bh? i get them when sitting, walking, squatting, even rolling over in bed in the middle of the night will set one off.
 
I read online that BH pick up around 32 weeks. I think part of the reason they are more uncomfortable these days is because baby is getting bigger so fast. A half pound a week, for most of us!
 
Has anyone been feeling a little nauseous? Two nights in a row I felt sick while trying to go to sleep, like I could throw up, but not bad enough to go to the toilet. I was finally able to go so sleep and felt fine before bed and after waking. It is so random so I am wondering if it is pregnancy related?

Click to expand...

I was super nauseous last night..I actually threw up a little. Not fun.
 
I think the nausea is pregnancy related. I've had a few occasions of feeling sick but I've put it down to the lack of room in there and all my organs getting quite squished now. Lol

I'm still getting a lot of BHs, at least hourly through my waking hours, and some are getting pretty uncomfortable! Anyone else getting a 'rush' of discharge during BHs?
 
I still throw up every day, it never went away. :cry:
