Dobby - I think you just need to go by the frequency/duration rather than pain.

Congratulations! Good news about the short NICU stay ... that's wonderful!
Lesonde, glad you were OK. That must have felt pretty scary.
I'm kind of amazed by all these quick births and painless contractions. I spent 28 hours in intense amounts of pain ... my gene pool must be cursed. I'm SO hoping this birth is shorter.

Congrats Flueky!
I hope my labour goes as smoothly as my pregnancy has been so far.
In other news, I twisted my ankle walking to the car this morning. I can still walk and put weight on it, but if I try to rotate it, it hurts. : /

Congrats Flueky!! Cant wait to see pics!
Pretty, that stinks. I believe the ligaments in our ankles are looser due to our hormones, so more easily sprained. Can you take it easy, I know you stand all day at work?
That is a little bit of a fear of mine, that Baby will come at home and my husband will have to catch him. I read that if you are at home and you have to push, you get your SO to call 911 and keep them on the phone so they can walk you through what to do.

Flueks congrats again! So glad she is out of nicu!
Pretty yikes agreed hope you can rest up. The scar tissue in my right ankle has been KILLING me this tri and unfortunately the rough, break it up massage I get is off limits
I'm icing and heating almost every night
That's what I hear about at home as well they walk you through while they send paramedics. I'm more worried I'll realize it too late and get stuck in traffic yikes hospital is 35m away no traffic. Same for any emergency, both L&Ds are 25miles away =\

Congrats flueky!!! That's awesome that baby only had a quick stay in the nicu! Can't wait to see pics 
Dobby- I am starting to worry about that as well, If I am having Braxton hicks, I'm not really feeling them... So how will I know when its time if I don't feel them?
All these early births are starting to make me a bit nervous... I don't have anything ready yet!!! Got to get my sh*t together...

I'm so over the moon right now.. a good friend of mine who has been trying for awhile and went through two miscarriages just had her NST done and baby is doing great!! Now we are just trying to get some ideas on skull theory as the tech wouldn't give any ideas on sex...

I wouldn't worry about comparing labour to BHs, a lot of first time Mum's don't feel BHs at all, or know that they're having them, but they soon know when the real thing starts. It's keeping an eye for contractions increasing in both length and frequency, that you struggle to talk through.
I am worried about not being able to make it to the hospital if they insist I go in, but I have a previous precipitous labour to pull experience from, and once my labour started with DD I sure as hell knew I was in labour, it flipping hurts!! Lol. Someone remind me why I'm doing this again?

So monday was eventful.
I got the sonar and all is well, good flow in cord, enaugh water and they had both grown, so happy! But there is still this difference between them, but that is ok.
The bigger is 10% over average weight and thesmaller is 20% under, she was 30% under two weeks before that so that is good progress I think. They were 1960g and 3696g and I was 35v2d along
The twin A is still lower and sitting! So they say it is real y realy small chance of her turning at this point, specialy since they have been in the same position for so long. So i have another sonar on monday 36v2d and then we will talk about dates for a sceduled c section. But probably between week 37 and 38 so about 9-16 days or so!
We also bought a car on monday and I am realy happy with it, its the one I posted on here.
But I also had a midwife apointment and my bloodpressure was a bit elevated and more swelling, she says it is signs of strain (not sure if it is the best english word) so i have been trying to take it slow.
I have contractions now and then, the BH started way earlyer than with my boysand also have goten more frequent and also harder. They are hard and long now and come more often. I sometimes think that all that pressure should brake my waters! and they are realy uncomfy, I would not say painful yet but still. In the sonar at 33w they put mein monitor and I had one, I had been wondering if they would show up on it, not sure if BH usualy do. And it was there clear as day. So.. who knows what will happen, if I go in labor on my own or if I get to the mostlikely sceduled c section but any day now!!!

Here's my baby girl! I should be discharged tomorrow and she most likely will. I hope so. Neither of us having complications. As far as labor signs I was having low back pain and moderate AF like cramps at the same time. I didn't really experience what people consider BH. From water breaking to delivery was only 7 hours. I want to wish the best for the rest of you ladies and will try to check in when I can 😄

What a beautiful baby, flueky!
Catalyst, that's so exciting ... I hope it's a wonderful experience and you get to meet your girls very soon.
I'm excited for all the birth announcements to come pouring in. I don't think I'll be going early, but I've been drinking red raspberry leaf and just bought an exercise ball, so I'm trying to encourage things. The baby is SO active. Some mornings it feels like he's trying to break out. I have my hospital tour coming up in a week or two, and I've been packing my hospital bag slowly, trying to get ready ... not long now!

Exciting!
My tea was delivered today but I won't be starting until Tuesday morning. I do sit on my ball at work. It's a bit low but I do have a primary table so it works out to be just about the right height/I might get a rolling stand
Now that my big furniture pieces are in the nursery and assembled, I'm going to start putting things away slowly but surely
Oh and spilled boiling water on my stomach but bubs is fine. Measuring on track (fundal) and heartbeat is fine. But apparently I am anemic which my gyn never told me.

Second we had a morning like that yesterday! She was moving so much for over an hour and I was yelping in pain when she hit me in the cervix we want them to move so much in earlier weeks and now it's like oh jeez could you calm down a little? XD
Has anyone noticed how the movements are changing to a more term baby pattern? Little one has started to wriggle every couple of hours and it feels like a recognisable new baby wake-sleep cycle
Have been drinking one cup of tea every day, will increase to two around 36 weeks. I've bought in some super gentle baby washing liquid so ready to wash the clothes very soon and then organise baby cupboard and pack the bag! Oh my... it's happening hehe x
