[Lady H]

Poppy I get that, it's excruciating and yes, stops me dead until it subsides. I have some days where I never have it and then a period of it hitting every 10 minutes of so for a couple of hours. I assume its Madam on a nerve but wow, that hurts. I said to DH if I can't cope with this ill never make it through labour!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Hi poppy.

That definitely sounds like a nerve thing. I've not had it but my rib pain is a nerve thing and that's excruciating. I can't move or breath or anything. Like Lady H I keep thinking that labour is going to be 100x worse how will I do it!!

TMI from me today. The last 2 days I jut can't stop pooping! Not diarrhea or anything just I think maybe I got a bit back logged and now it's making up for it.

Not ideal as we have lots planned this weekend and being out and about isn't ideal as I know I'll hold it and then block myself up again.

Hope you all have a nice long weekend planned. Im going to try and get some good baby organising done!

 

[Sass827]

Rib pain is horrible. I think I may have had my first lightning pain today - eek!

 

[Hann12]

Weirdly enough sass I got my first lightening pain yesterday too. Horrible!! Annoyingly they say first timers normally get them 34ish weeks+ but subsequents normally don't get them until its labour time as engagement happens much later as your body can remember from last time. So I shouldn't be getting them this early - annoying!!

 

[jtink28]

what are lightning pains??

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Hi ladies.

Leaving in 10 minutes or our tour of the hospital.

Am really nervous actually. I think it's because this is going to make it all seem a bit real!!!

I just hope there isn't loads of screaming!!!

 

[TTCBean]

Good luck Cupcake!

jtink, I always thought lightening pains were those sharp pains in/up your crotch. I've been getting them lately, ouch!

 

[Hann12]

Yes that probably the best way of explaining it - like sharp pains in your cervix area. They are not nice at all! I've had more today.

Finally washed the baby clothes and bought a moses basket mattress. Some progress at last!!

Hope the hospital tour is good Cupcake!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Thanks ladies.

Tour was great. Was really good to see everything as I'm the sort of person who hates the unknown.

Made me really impatient though hearing and seeing babies and ladies arriving with their bags etc.

 

[Hann12]

6ish weeks cupcake - it will fly by! I can't believe its around 6 weeks for me - feels like its gone ridiculously fast this time around, much slower when I did it the first time!

 

[Sass827]

I hope my next one flies. This one is slow! Major lower back pain and way too many hiccups today.

 

[poppy13]

Hi. Sorry for TMI. Does anyone else have lots of wetness done below? It is wetness rather than discharge though.

 

[Sass827]

I think so poppy. I change my underpants in the middle of the night pretty often. :-/

[BellaRosa8302]

Lightening pains?? I wonder if that's what I'm getting too... Last night and a good part of today I felt like my whole vagina was in sooooo much pain!!!! I've had the "kicked in the crotch" feeling for a while now but that was mostly in the front of my pubic bone. This is my actual vagina hurting. Is that what you girls are feeling too??

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Poppy - yes on the wetness. If I put knickers on without a panty liner right away, and maybe dry my hair or do my deodorant and get dressed etc and then do the liner I already have a wet patch.

A few weeks ago I got some of the Tena lady liners so if I'm out for a long time I'll use one of those rather than a normal one as they feel a lot dryer on and are a little bigger than normal carefree/always but slimmer and nicer than a wearing a sanitary towel. Were on offer in Asda when I got mine.

I've been getting some cervix pain but nothing too horrendous yes. I often get shooty bum pain (even before pregnancy) so I know what to expect and am not looking too forward to it!!

In other news it's 5:42 and I've been wide awake for an hour.

Due to the stupid clocks I've already lost and hour and I have to be up at like 7:30.

 

[julesjules100]

Crap. The stupid clocks, totally forgot about them. I thought I'd managed 6 hours but that really means 5. Great. x

 

[Hann12]

I got 5 hours too grrr!

My lightening pains like having a sharp pain in my cervix that lasts a second or two but takes my breath away.

Happy Easter everyone!

 

[julesjules100]

Sorry to hear that Hann...

No lightening pains for me yet. Had a scan on Thursday and asked if he was getting lower but seemingly not yet (plus I'm still walking normally and apparently I'll be waddling when he does come down). Yet more lovely things to look forward to 4 weeks, 1 day left to go. Please hurry up Time! x

 

[Hann12]

4 weeks should fly by!

Mine isn't engaged yet, just keeps knocking in and out I think hence the lightening. When it engages there really is no mistaking it - it's very uncomfortable lol!
