Well done kitty for starting a new thread.
No news here Sad
Found this link on another thread indicating that even with a few contractions it could still be weeks to go ...
m.birth.com.au/physical-signs-of-prelabour/differences-between-prelabour-contractions-and-first-stage-labour#A2H

So trying not to get ahead of myself.

Afternoon all, I'm lounging in bed while partner is at the park with step-daughter. Very uncomfortable now, can barely lean forward as it feels like there's something crushing my rib cage constantly, and always on the right hand side.

Have any of you 30+ weekers felt the baby drop down at all? I hope that helps when it finally happens, not sure I can wait another 8-9 weeks though.

Hi longlegged, same due date as me! Race you :)

Weekend has been good so far, thanks. It's the longest she's stayed with us and it's settled into normal family time, which is nice.

That's great news angel, your obviously putting your mummy skills to good use already!

So, as you can see I'm in the 4.00 club again (hip pain oh and now I'm hungry grrr). Only thing that usually helps us getting into spare bed but I've obviously pissed Dh with my tossing and turning as he's beaten me to it!

Ooh an dicking station kitty I expect that will be the last thing on your mind when giving birth!
Hope you are feeling better.

Horrid start to the morning here, sickness always seems worse after a late night when I've overdone it. Spent half hour hugging the loo whilst trying to stop a double nosebleed. Oh what fun! Easter Sad

Hope you are all having a better Easter Sunday! Easter Smile
