May Emeralds 2014! :)

[Phantom]

I had painful contractions all night. They stopped around 6am though.

 

[FleurDeMai]

Same here. I had (irregular) painful contractions for about 4 hours, then nothing

 

[Starry Night]

That's so frustrating! I hope your bodies get into gear soon and push out those babies!

I'm getting tons of BH everyday now and some are rather painful but none feel real so I can't even get my hopes up. I do get excited every time I see another piece of the plug and so super disappointed when I don't. ha ha So pathetic.

I'm also getting lots of Braxton hicks!! It's freaking me out a bit but I know it's normal.

BH are annoying me so much. Everytime I'm up and walking.
Extra tight if baby is moving in there too!!

Also, I can feel baby pushing on my pubic bone, hurting hurting hurting!

Moany pants.
It's been a beautiful day today otherwise

Also it cracks me up when a few of you call cramps "charlie horses", I actually had to look up what they were...

I wouldn't know what else to call them! "Charlie Horse" refers to that specific cramp where it feels like your calf muscle is going to tighten so tight within itself that it will create a vacuum in space and time (aka "black hole") inside your leg. ha ha To me "leg cramp" is any generic ache or cramp in your leg. And it's just fun to say.

Rosie - congratulations!!! I'm glad all went well. Enjoy your new family.

2days over

 

[gaves99]

DH was always predicting 5/3, no luck. 39 weeks today so anytime would be great! Only need to get thru 5 of work now this week.

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

Was feeling bored so decided to make a ring sling today. I really hope baby likes being carried around cos it works really well with my stuffed bagpuss toy

 

[stouffer]

Congratulations to everyone who's had their babies!

It seems like things are happening for quite a few of us.

I'm slightly jealous since I have no indicators that labour is close for me. I still have 2.5 weeks until my due date though I can't help watching for signs. It's like being in the 2ww again!

Is anyone else getting frequent, almost regular BH? For the past week every night from about 8pm until I go to bed I get about 15 BHs per hour. I time them and they're semi-regular but nothing is happening

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

I've just had a massive plate of red hot buffalo wings in an attempt to smoke her out

If it doesn't induce labour at least it's cleared up my stuffy nose.

 

[Lilly12]

Stoufer I'm bout as far along as you and been having ton of bh at night from about 6pm until I go to bed for the past few days!

 

[nic18]

I'm due Wednesday & had absolutely nothing!
