Since 5am I've been having tightenings across my belly. Starting from the back of my hips and rolling round the front like I'm being squeezed. Not all that painful but it has been getting more intense and uncomfortable.

Also (TMI alert!) Had a feel inside down there yesterday morning and everything felt softer that usual and lips were much more swollen than they had been. Then yesterday afternoon had diarrhea...

I hope this is the beginnings of something, very much fed up with being pregnant now.

Keep your fingers crossed ladies!

I hope it is the start for you too...I am getting fed up already cant believe I still have 2 more weeks or so grr! x

 

[Mummabear1]

Thank you, these last few weeks have felt like forever!

All slowed down now Think its been a false alarm. Was sooo ready to be in labour too! x

 

[Mummabear1]

They're back! Not regular really but rather strong when they do come. I'd like to know what my bodys playing at get on with it already!

Thank you ladies.

HE'S HERE!!

Will update with birth story later as am shattered and still at hospital but the quick version is Oscar was born at 2:24am after a 45minute active labour (4cm onwards) with no pain relief in a birthing pool.
Weighed a nice healthy 7lb 5.5oz and no tearing!

Soo happy (and somewhat shocked at just how smoothly it all went)

Full story and pic to follow once home and settled and have had some sleep!
