Awww beautiful bump piccies girls! I love what you have done with the boards and signs sooooo cute haj!

rosabelle I have high hopes for your 'losing a bit of plug' - my buddy on another thread posted that she lost a but of plug one day, was loosing a lot more the next day and was in labour the day after!!! and she was due after both of us lol. not that I was jealous hehe...

I have been having some period type cramps today!! It hasnt turned into anything so far tho but I do feel a little different somehow I cant really explain it... soo hmmmm fx'd!!

My phone is playin up and wont let me on the mobile version which basically means i cant get on as much as I'd like :(
 
Having some contractions today :/ My midwife wasn't expecting any surprises this week so I am sure its just baby dropping on down (felt like little one was going to fall out last night on my walk) but yikes. They were uncomfortable but tolerable. Didn't call her since they stopped and didn't come with any other symptoms but if they show up tomorrow I will. I see her wed. for centering (parenting/prenatal) classes.

Had five at the most and they got farther apart. The rest have been on their own and with no pattern. But everyone assured me they were contractions based on my description. My false labor earlier in the week were braxton hicks these were a lot different.

Started in lower back and spread across the front of my abdomen. Felt like period cramps. I think I told you all she said I wasn't dilated and had thinned to about 2 cm baby was almost at negative one. She had me do the spinning babies poses to help little one drop lower in my pelvis so that could be the real cause.
 
Armywife - they sound like contractions to me too. I hope all is ok and baby stays put for now. Hope baby has turned into position too x

Jo & rosabelle - looking forward to news!

I have found the first few weeks hard (amazing, how did I live without her?!) but it really is hard work. Just wanted to say you know where I am/we all are if you hit any issues in the first few weeks with feeding, sleeping or anything and need support as we may have just been through the same thing.

So excited for you to meet your babies!!!!
 
this past week has been really hard. Thursday Doyle had his first round of shots. thursday and friday, he was fussy and refused to eat unless i gave him a bottle and even then he still didnt eat much. He finally started to breast feed again friday night but remained very fussy and wouldnt stay on the boob for long.
On sunday, he started screaming every time i went to feed him. He wasnt better yesterday so i went to see a lactation consultant for a hunger strike.
the nurse said it could be reflux but she didnt think so because it came on so fast and i explained the shots and she thinks they are the culprit. I was only told when he got the shots he would be tired and fussy, not that it could screw with his eating and it could last longer than 2 days.
thankfully he slept over 5 hours and seems to be doing fine this feeding. fingers crossed my happy content baby will be back to normal soon.
 
Hmm sounds odd armywife - i hope baby stays a lil longer for u...I sure havent felt anything like that tho. I still dont get braxton hicks, or feel them I have no idea what a contraction feels like still!
Thanx Mrs W im sure i will be after loads of advice soon! Well sooner rather than later i hope lol... How is it weeks 5 to 35 flew by and now every day is like a week long?!
 
hello all havent been here in a while just an update im overdue and going for a sweep tomoro. for the last 2 days ive been geting crampy and its worse tonight so i hope the sweep works.
i think i have a cold too :(
hope you are all doing well
 
Mrs W - Thats what I thought. Things are ok but I am insanely tired. Baby still feels like he/she is facing my hip but feels lower. I know the position has changed a little in the least because I am unable to move certain ways now. The spinning babies is no joke! Glad things are going great for you!!!

Wantanerd - Hope he feels better soon!!

Jo - I know. Women have gone from zero to baby before but not in our family so it really didn't bother me to much but did leave me a little concerned just because I would have to be flown out of here if I was in labor just because they don't have a NICU here. My Braxton Hicks are just tightening of my abdomen the contractions feel like period pains but start in the back. You won't be able to mistake them. I am with you on the taking forever though. I am just glad we moved when we did because now I am able to focus on my third tri and I just now started counting down again. Hopefully I log back in today or tomorrow and your in labor!

Jasmin- Good luck!!!!



I go in today for a midwife check and parenting class so may have an update when I get back. we will see.
 
Update... so we discussed my contractions and since they calmed down and stopped when I rested she feels they were most likely due to baby dropping... FAST. I went from in between -2 and -1 to zero in 5ish days. Baby is head down but still facing my hip a little. I am not sure if the baby will fully turn before labor just because he/she has been in that position for a good chunk of the pregnancy.

She forbid me from giving birth till 38 weeks since shes going on vacation next week lol. However it is a baby friendly hospital that supports my birth plan so if I do have the baby next week its not the end of the world. I am not feeling like myself and the dog and cat are acting funny but I hope its just because my body is getting ready and not that I am about to go. I would prefer a term baby and I would prefer to have my midwife there so I am fine waiting till my actual due date.
 
Well, tbh i dont want to go into labor today or tomorrow as its my b'day tomorrow and id rather not share it haha. I think it'd be nicer for us both to have our own our own special days..... I dont kno if this is a labor sign but i had a mini-emotional breakdown today and had to have a cry. Been panicing about whether i'll cope as a mum and having my life change so much...thinking have i done the right thing arrrgghhh lol and just generally got fed up of waiting and over emotional. :(

physically i have been having a few pains here and there i dont kno how to describe them. Maybe they are bh :shrug: when i was at the mw a while back and she was feeling my tummy an said 'ooh ur having a tightening' but i couldnt feel it. :shrug:
I also *think* i lost a bit of plug - just like a strand of it - it was clear jelly not like the white cm iv been getting. But it was only tiny so not sure.. Any of the ladies who've given birth have any 'plug' experiences to share?
 
Hey armywife we must have posted at the same time! Glad uv stopped having contractions for a while, and its great that baby has dropped so well. Mine is at 3/5 not sure how that compares to ur stations u guys use but mw said shes unlikey to get any lower till labor.
Will it be a problem if baby is facing the hip? I kno my friend was scheduled a c-section cos of baby facing the hip but she turned at the last minute and she had a natural birth!
 
I thought I'd lost my plug as I had a piece around 50p sized about a week before she was born, but for me, like contractions there was no mistaking it when it did happen!! After I was induced and went into labour it started coming out and there was LOADS!!

Happy birthday for tomorrow jo!

Ladies I'm not sure if I asked this before but has anyone had discharge that is completely clear, just looks like water spots on your underwear?

Click to expand...

Since baby is dropping she isn't worried about labor starting with little one facing my hip. He/she is turning on their side so they may fully turn before labor or the midwife can turn the baby during labor. I posted an image of the stations in another post before this...
