This baby has suddenly gone nuts. Properly violently trashing around, all over the place, ribs, cervix, organs. Moving so much and so fast I have just thrown up (although anything makes me throw up these days!).
He has been like this for about 45 mins, and he will not stop. He has not been this active before.
I called the number on notes, put through to the labour ward, who told me to stop worrying, it will settle down 'is this your first dear? have a warm bath'. DH thinks she must know what she is talking about, as she is the midwife.
But I read that it could be a sign of distress if it comes on suddenly?
Great news pavlov

I hope something happens for you. I was in a similar 'it could happen at any minute' position for over 2 weeks before ds2 came!! I sympathise

38+1 wks. Just seen the midwife. Before she checked me and baby, she said most likely reason for the urgent activity was baby moving into position, checked, and low and behold, he is fully engaged

. I said he continues to be rather active, and she said this is normal. Baby's heartbeat is fine, he kicked her a few times while she was checking him and said he seemed fine. She said she would not be surprised if he arrives soon, given how I look, feel and am walking, but cannot say for sure, as it is known for some women to go like for weekd

. But she said, she would prefer he held off a few days, as it is not ideal me being poorly with cold - like he will listen to her if he is ready !
Thanks for all the reassurances everyone.
Yep, nesting

I did mine at 9 weeks

Take it easy, you need energy for labour.
tupperware pots with labels
definitely nesting

DH thinks I am nesting as I bought tupperware pots for freezer food I am intending to make, and
labels and am getting upset at things like the floor being dirty all the time. As I can't clean it easily atm he is having to do it daily! (possibly more to do with not wanting to get dirt from kitchen floor on our nice new carpets

)
Sounds like you are nesting!
Yes it did worsen towards the end, but I had extra stress with work so assumed it was due to that. I found it hard to eat in the last few days as well. Then I threw up again when I went into labour.
What am I doing today? frantically attempting to finish off a defence and counterclaim for the court in relation to the arsehole builder who is suing me (some kind of joke it seems) and who we are suing back. He produced a 100 word letter as his argument, with no evidence as yet. I am producing a 6500 word defence and counter claim and a TON of evidence - see how he likes them apples

. It needs to be in tomorrow and i keep having at the back of my mind, baby can arrive any time, so best get it done today.
Then, i am making butternut squash soup. I have tidied the entire place, almost, as i feel this baby may make an appearance soon. But not right now. He is still very very very active, i keep getting strong kicks with legs.arms visible on my RHS, followed by steong BH and pushing on my pelvis. He is up to
something.
kathy did you find the sickness worsened again towards the end? I have had some respite for a while, only sick a few times a week, but these last few days been sick every day several times.
OMG how EXCITING!!!! Great news about the show. I was 10 days overdue and I could not take anymore - I could hardly bear it by the end!!!
Good news about the show Pavlov

I always found that after a lot of movement from my baby I had more show/dishcharge. It's like the baby moved and wriggled ad pushed more out. tmi!
Wa-hey - sounds like you are soon to be released from the 9-month sentence of HG! (time off for good behaviour?)
Keeping everything crossed that you will be posting a birth announcement soon.
