bizy- well i'm glad you've got it resolved. I;m sure you're excited to get it over it with. Are you nervous?

 

[BizyBee]

I am nervous. Mostly about having the spinal tap and being cut open. I had laparoscopic surgery last June, so not a stranger to incisions, but a little freaked out by the whole process.

 

[meow951]

hopeful- My contractions felt totally different to my braxton hicks. My braxton hicks were when my stomach was going tight etc. My contractions felt like really intense period and back pain. I knew i was in labour as it was a totally different feeling. I couldnt feel my stomach going tight either, even though the midwife could if she put her hands on it.

 

[hopefulmama]

Bizy- i'm sure everything will be OK. Imagine c-sections are one of the most performed and safest surgeries. I know i'd be a little freaked out of the entire process, i'd probably be more freaked about the spinal block too.. i'm freaked out just about the epidural aha, and i know they're similar procedure. At least you wont be spending hours upon hours in labor and now today you know what to prep for on the aftercare etc.

 

[BizyBee]

Definitely. I am confident in my Dr. and I'm relieved that this will eliminate any extra stress on the baby.

Good luck tomorrow Bizy - so close now to having your baby in your arms!

Good luck tomorrow bizy, I am so pleased you have the situation in hand.... So much so I am teary now thanks to post baby hormones!!

I agree with meow, the worst of my contractions were in my back, and it was horrendous!! The stomach pain part was manageable, but the back was something else!! xx

 

[BizyBee]

I love seeing all of the baby pics and can't wait to add mine. I won't be able to for a few days though since I only have internet access with my phone and can't upload directly to the site.

We will all be here waiting for you bizy. I really am so happy for you, and wish you a super speedy recovery so you will be back here with us posting away. xx

Good luck for tomorrow Bizy! I hope everything goes well and can't wait to see piccies!!

Back contractions are the worst!!!! I had the epi at about 5cm with Dylan cos the pain in my back was so bad, my labour with Bethany was a million times less painful. My baby girl was good to me unlike my meanie little boy

 

[24/7]

Sam was a meanie to me!! MEN!! xx

 

[luckyme225]

Bizy- I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to hear about you getting to meet your little guy. Enjoy your last night of it being just the two of you!!

Hopeful- real contractions will typically last 30-70 seconds in length. I get really long BH now when I do get them, that's how I know it's probably not the real deal.

 

[mummy3]

The contractions I got during the preterm labour and my delivery were period pain type and in the back and pelvis more with the tightening. BH's I felt as just the tightening, uncomfortable but not too painful

Bizy Good luck for tomorrow hun! Cant wait to see pics!

Bizy how exciting, wishing you all the best tomorrow. I had a spinal block after Joshua and it really wasnt so bad, and I was back on my feet pretty handy! look forward to you getting internet to upload the photos

Hopeful when my contractions started this time it felt like I was constipated, kept begging the midwives to give me some relief so I could go to the toielt, but they were adamant it was just babys head, turns out they right lol Wasnt until the pains were about 1-2 minutes apart that they were noticably labour contractions, although Im struggling to find a way to explain them, I just knew it was labour finally.

Mummy eilidh looks adorable awwww

Took me 3 attempts tonight to get my dinner lol 1st attempt I was running too late for Joshuas karate class, 2nd attempt George decided he wanted his dinner first so had it on the 3rd attempt, least it was food eventually lol Little fella is asleep on me now, Joshua is asleep in bed, my parents have gone back home and I have lots of peace, although enjoying my snuggles as everyone has had George and he had no cuddles left for mummy unless it was with boob clamped in mouth!

 

[mummy3]

lol new at least you got dinner! Sounds like a busy day, hows Joshua doing with his little brother?

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

Best of luck Bizy xxx

All going well here lttle lady is amazing x

 

[new_to_ttc]

Joshua loves being a big brother. He is a little territorial over him and keeps wanting to touch him, but he is doing great.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Yay! More babies! Can't wait to see pics Bizy!

 

[hopefulmama]

For the last few hours i have been getting more of the back and upper leg pain, vs the belly. I was napping just now and the back pain was getting worse than when i fell asleep and woke me up after 30 minutes. I switched sides to see if it was that and no difference. Lasted a couple minutes now gone. Dunno.. not trying to get hopes up. Now baby has hiccups right after the pain stopped.

 

[hopefulmama]

New- your crazy! you're a few days post birth and running all over the place.. you better believe i'm going to be milking my post delivery sympathy as long as i can. The minute I have a braxton hick or ache or pain my husband goes nuts and i feel like hes gonna cry cuz he hates seeing me in pain and i can basically get anything i want from him in that moment.. so after birth i'm bringing the guns out.
