So how are you full termers feeling?!

[Annabel]

Hi ladies,

just wondering how your feeling at the moment..

I do feel that my body is really getting ready for labour.. I feel this pressure in my pelvis, a sensitive tailbone, period pains general achy tummy and back ache... Ive been up for 2 nights running now to have baths due to the pains...

Last night, went back to bed after a bath, hubby said, you ok? I said, yes, just a bad tummy, he said, oh thats a shame, and rolled over and went back to sleep! Charming!!

how is everyone else doing??

 

[emmalj80]

Same as you i think, I'm kind of getting upset now not because i want her out now or anything i'm just exhausted with hardly any sleep can barely find a position thats comfortable and i'm not "allowed" to complain about any niggles i have because it'll be a neighbour my partner or my mother saying oooooh your going to have her tonight then nothing happens. I've been having symptoms of labour for a week now so now im just trying to ignore them, she'll be here when she's ready and i usually go overdue anyway. Sorry if i turned this into a rant.

 

[missmousemum2]

Yeah feeling similar to you luv. Definitely more achey, sorry for the TMI, but looser stools last week or so too. Every little twinge I'm on red alert, hoping it could be the start of something lol.

Feeling a bit fed up and impatient now. Trying not to since I know that it could potentially be another 3 weeks to go. lol.

Fingers crossed it wont be long for us!

Hi, I'm feeling pretty much the same as you, have achy bump and back, sharp shooting pains down below everynow and again too. Feel pressure, and when I've been squatting (i'm trying to help baby along) i can really feel it very low down. Just hoping that this doesn't go on for weeks, also had the odd period type pain as though i'm about to start, anyone else feel like this? I'm also nesting like mad too. What are men like! If they could just experience pregnancy for a day they change their attitudes!

This is exactly where I am too. I'm trying really hard not to symptom spot - but it is very tempting... Had lots of backache, strong BHs and nausea for the last couple of days, especially in the afternoon/evening. But it all disappears overnight. By this time with my DS I was already in labour, but this LO does not seem to be in any hurry. I could still have a long way to go yet...

I'm feeling okay at the moment although I've had a lot of pressure 'down there' for the last few days so I think she may have engaged a little more.

Just want baby to arrive but I know that is very wishful thinking!

I feel good, but no signs labor is near unfortunately. I think my little monkey is really enjoying her stay in my belly and doesn't want to leave I will be induced at week 39 though, so the end is in sight!

 

[Annabel]

Glad Im not the only one feeling like this! My back is soo achey!

Hopefully it wont be too long for any of us!

emmalj, rant away hun! I know what you mean, you tell someone how you feel and they think that your going to go into labour at any min, my friend had texted me, I hadn't got back to her straight away and she's facebooking and texting wishing me good luck in labour! :-/

mammym, Im getting period pains too, have had these for a good few weeks now, but the seem to come and go...

Kaz, Ive been feeling sick too, not like morning sickness, different..

Im also not eating very much either, well definitely dont have much of an appetite...

wanta2010baby, it must be nice knowing a date that you'll be having your LO! Can I ask why your being induced?

I seem to be getting loads of 'signs' but nothing happening, braxton hicks for weeks now but they are much stronger now than ever, low back ache, period type cramps for the last few days.... i would even say the odd contraction but like only 1 or 2 then they stop.

If i didnt know any better, i actually felt like i was going to come on my period this morning, had cramps, backache, windy, blaoted feelings.

 

[choc]

I've been feeling the same, period pains, pelvis ache, nausea and uncomfortable plus a load of other stuff! Hopefully won't be too much longer now as I can't take much more.

 

[Bexivillian]

Iv been having pressure, but iv been having that for weeks. My ribs and pelvic bone hurt like hell, i think shes getting too big for my insides

But iv had no actual signs labour is coming, no loose stools, no backache, no cramps. x

haha! We've gone completely full circle!! at least we know its going to happen at some point!! Although Im still looking for the stork! Im not overly keen on the pop, out comes baby! although if it was that quick maybe it would be ok!

 

[wantingno.2]

Oh it would be great if it was POP and out came the baby!!!

I keep thinking, if i think like i did in TTC 'oh it's not happening this month, never mind' then BFP

OR

'oh i'm defo going overdue now' then yep baby might just POP along!!!

 

[xprincessx]

i feel sooo exhausted...i slept all night and then woke at 8:00 and then at 8:40 i went back to sleep and didnt wake up till 2:00!! i'm so knackered though lol

i keep getting BH contractions and my back constantly aches when i sit up so i have to keep lying down all day.

I've also lost my appetite and barely want to eat anything!

just hope i dont go into labour before next monday! x

I will wake up one morning and my waters will pop whilst I'm on the loo. I will bob down to the hospital and after, say, 2/3 pushes out LO will come! It will sting at the very most and I will be home with my little girl within the hour. That is how it will happen, nobody correct me!!xx
