symptom spotters unite

[wantingno.2]

Feel like i'm back in the 2ww in TTC!!!

What symptoms have you all been getting to suggest your body might be getting ready for the big day?

I've been having loose BM's for a week now, despite being on iron which is notorious for given you constipation.
BH's all the time
Lower back ache
slight cramping
alot of downwards pressure

My first ds came at 39+4

 

[charlottecco2]

irregular painful contractions for 3 days now
period pain.
lots of discharge and loss of mucus plug.

its all very confusing, at the moment my contractions are about 15minutes apart. i think its false labour though. x

Oh no, the pain but not knowing if it's real, arghhhhhhh. I hope they get regular for you soon.

I keep thinking i want contractions to start but i know as soon as they do i'll be wishing they'd go away!!!

 

[charlottecco2]

yes i wanted them to start, but its reminding me of how painful giving birth to my son was lol.
and i am very tired and can't sleep through them grrr.
i hope your bubba comes soon.
And i wish my contractions would either get stronger or just stop and let me rest xx

Ooo what a brill thread,painful braxton hicks,back ache,period pains over the past 2days really achy bump and legs all could mean nothing but still I'm in the 3ww (well almost 3weeks)

Think we're all in the same symptom boat.
- Frequent BM (despite constipation for the last 8 months!)
- Frequent BH - sometimes 6 or 7 in an hour
- Lower back ache
- Feeling like I'm about to get my period - particularly first thing in the morning and late evening
- pink / brown discharge and spotting since Sunday

So frustrating to not know when things are actually going to happen

Exactly the same (I'm on iron tabs too), I have also been really weepy and having MAJOR mood swings the last 2 days...wish this would all develop into something meaningful!

 

[wantingno.2]

Oh i'm always moody have been for almost 9 months now!!! ha ha, almost feel sorry for DH .... ALMOST!

Lol, yeah I bet if you asked DH he would say I was moody before anyway but now I am super-bitch

 

[lushious09]

im only 34 weeks but babys head is 2/5s engaged... ive been going to ze loo ALOT BH's seem to be getting stronger and more frequent as the weeks go on and i seem to have been hit by the hormone fairy again! thats it so far though lol bring on the next 3 weeks

 

[Delamere19]

Symptom spotting is driving me nuts but I cant stop!!! Every twinge is making me get my hopes up. I have had loads of period pains and backache since 37 weeks and I lost a little of my plug this week but other than that nothing much!! Getting induced tuesday if he still isnt here and tbh he isnt showing much sign that he will be!!

 

[mumandco]

Another one to add doubt it's a sign but it's something that has changed my sex drive has hit the roof!! I haven't been interested in sex since I had my bfp but the past few days I can't get enough of oh lol I didn't have any signs when I was preg with ds and ended up being induced at 42+1! Baby is head down and fixed iv also had a huge increase in discharge kinda like ewcm

 

[wantingno.2]

bet my DH wishes my sex drive had returned.... i think it's died!!!

I thought it had died it had been so many months where sex was just not on my mind and I envied those who still had a sex drive or it had increased,when I was pg with ds I was horny the whole time so I'm glad that my sex drive has returned finally lol not sure if oh knows how to handle me now lol

 

[Pearls18]

I don't really know the symptoms as this is my first but I'm getting a lot of what has been listed in this thread so far- particularly BH and period pain!

I sometimes get shooting pains right down on what feels like my cervix, my MW told me a couple of wks ago it could be baby trying to engage- I'm hoping he's engaged by now (fingers crossed) any other ideas what these pains could be? x

 

[wantingno.2]

I get alot of strange pains too ... i'm kinda hoping that it's bubs engaging ... he's been head down for weeks now but not engaged

 

[J_K_L]

Baby's engaged
100% Effaced
1 cm dilated
BH constantly about 10-15 min apart
Increased EWCM
Shooting pains in my cervix
I think I just had a bloody show?

Let's get this show on the road!

 

[ellaandcallum]

I have started symptom spotting too, heres my contribution:-

Last two days lots of very loose bowel movements despite taking 3 iron tablets a day
Lots of extra discharge and some loss of plug, although not bloody
Stronger braxton hicks
Super weepy
Nesting
Period pains

So we will see if it amounts to anything over the next week or so. xx

 

[babytots]

For me its been the loss of some of my mucus plug last week and now its just on off ewcm type discharge.

Lots of strong BH that make me come over in a hot sweat.

Pressure on my cervix alot though can't tell if its babies head or a hand down there lol.

Today been having lots of BM even though I'm usually constipated when pg.

Umm thats it for now lol. x
