Happy Saturday ladies! Had a bad night last night, was up from 4am with bad diarrhea and feeling really sick, but couldnt be sick, i couldnt get comfy, was up and down, had c ontractions, stronger than BH, but all over the place. So either im going into labour, or have a stomach upset. Ive had a long soak in the bath and had contractions while in their and having some since getting out of the bath.
I know this might sound like a really stupid question, but bear with me, it was 4 years since i last laboured, and was induced, so totally different scenario BUT-how do proper contractions differ from BH?? The ones im having feel stronger than BH, start at the top of my bump and travel down so i can feel them in my back and cervix area. Ive taken paracetamol, but am no where near in need of proper pain relief yet.

hope you had a lovely birthday scorps!!

i'm with you all on the bladder situ!

its sooo annoying!

my head has been in a spin last few days trying to figure out if i want the SF jab or not and have decided against it.

the girls have been good and not had any wobble moments on a new arrival... so far!

has anyone noticed though that the youngest is acting like a baby?

its like dd2 is jealous already!?

only 30 days to go! so of all you that are due early dec!!!

I've managed 3 in a row so far so 5 times is good going I reckon!

*'have a wee, stand up and immediately feel like I'm desperate for another'!* - absolutely, I think I stood up and sat back down about 5 times in a row last night. Went for 36 week appointment today, still breech. Very of those engaged in any way.

Happy Birthday Scorps

LaDiDaDi - had a similar thing with DD today too. She's been happy enough with us talking about the baby and that she'll be a big sister etc etc. Today my Dad came round and helped me put up the border in the nursery so it does look more "finished" now, and she was very quiet. Once he'd gone she's asked for cuddles and then while she was on my lap she started saying she didn't want me to have a baby and that I just wanted her. Tried telling her it'll be nice, she'll be able to give Baby hugs and that I can cuddle both of them but it wasn't working. She then came up with a solution which seemed to pacify her. "You can give different hugs to Baby, Mummy". So thats how we talk about it now. I'll love her and I'll love Baby in a different way.

Am currently kneeling on the floor with the laptop on the sofa as it's the only comfortable position for me - do not think Baby has dropped!! Should get round to packing my hospital bag really (even though hoping for Homebirth)

HAppy Birthday Scorps

Here just feeling very tired and wondering when I'll give birth. Will it be during the 2 week visit of pil in 8 days time or will it be three weeks early like before. We'd have to call our friends on our emergency list but they also have kids and work & I'd worry about dd5 who's 2yrs as we've only had a babysitter three times so she's not used to being looked after at home by other people. Also hope it's quick as before so dh can be able to get back home for her.

I had loads of trapped wind pain last night too, it was terrible.

Feeling this evening as dd suddenly burst into tears and told me "I really, really don't want a baby Mummy. I want him to not come out of your tummy so that it stays just me and you and Daddy" [sob]. She was so insistent and upset it was awful. I just kept on telling her how much mummy and daddy loved her and that she would always be our girl.

Any advice appreciated!

Happy Birthday Scorps.

i still feel miserable. baboo's head is pressing down loads and making me feel really uncomfortable. went into town today to meet up with friends from NCT and do a bit of shopping with DH. By time we had walked back to the car, i felt like I could have cried!! Just for no reason, just sick of heaving my massive body around and having to walk slowly everywhere... I shouldn’t complain as I have had it really easy up until now, but just feel so uncomfortable. And people keep telling me to sleep and i am really struggling as keep having to get up in the night to go for a pee!!
saw MW this morning for 38 week check and she said that everything was fine and then also added "hopefully won't see you in a fortnight because you might have had it!!!" Head still 3/5 engaged, so no change. Off visiting rellies this weekend so hoping my waters don't break on my Gran's carpet...she is very house proud!

Bleurgh I feel sick

That's it, just wanted to share!

Hi everyone

Just back from my 34 week appointment with the midwife and the head is 4/5ths enagaged - eek!! She doesn't seem to think I'll last til my due date which probably means I'll end up being induced at 42 weeks +

Am desperate for DH to get back from offshore next week so I can get some help around the house as DD seems to have hit the terrible 2's early . Feels like he's been away for ages not just 5 weeks!

Am also constantly needing to pee - usually about 2 seconds after I've been

Hope everyone is well and has a fab weekend
