Panicking a little

[FluffyFlowerFace]

In 34 weeks and I've been up all night weeing ! I've got period type pains, sore bump and pressure in my bum. Does that sound normal? The cramping is every 6 mins or so and at the front

[NerNerNerNerNerNerNerNerBATMAN]

That sounds suspicious...I'd definitely be giving your midwife a call

[FluffyFlowerFace]

It eases off I'm hoping it's Braxton hicks. My bump hasn't dropped and I've had no mucus plug loss and no back pain

[ScotsLamb]

I would call the midwife too.

[FluffyFlowerFace]

I've left a message on their answer machine

[Ilovechocolate111]

Sounds like your body practicing 😀 you will know if it's contractions.

[FluffyFlowerFace]

Phoned them they said it sounds like Braxton hicks

[FluffyFlowerFace]

If I'm finding these painful I don't think I'll do well in labour

[Ilovechocolate111]

You'll be fine. Everyone says that lol.. I always think the pain was worth it in the end xx

[FuckMyUterus]

OP please dont worry yourself about labour, when I was pregnant with my son, I found BH way more painful than the real thing.

[FluffyFlowerFace]

They were not braxtons they were labour

[FuckMyUterus]

Oh, congratulations! Have you had the baby then or still in labour?

[ChocolatePancake]

I was just about to say I'd definitely go and make them see you because it sounds like labour and then I read your last message! Congratulations! Is all well?

[FluffyFlowerFace]

Got to hospital at 15.15 8cm dilated boy born at 18.18 he's ok in an incubator xx

[Sunshinegirl82]

Must all be a bit of a shock OP given that you thought you had quite a few weeks to go. How is baby getting on?

[Sunshinegirl82]

Cross post. Glad to hear baby is doing well, look after yourself.

[Roseandbee]

Congratulations! Glad he's doing ok:) Well no wonder you found them painful! If you get a chance I'd be curious to hear at what point you realised it was really labour?

[FluffyFlowerFace]

When I got to thr hospital rose honestly I was 8cm and didn't know!

[Ohwell14]

Sounds like you did a lot better with the pain of labour than you though you would xx i was crying my eyes out when i was 2cm dialated
Congratulations x

[Mustang27]

Well done and congrats. I’d be really miffed they didn’t take you more seriously but you did amazing.

[ChocolatePancake]

It sounds like you did amazing. Not many women can post when in labour! I'm glad he's doing okay. I know this isn't what you had planned but things will work out, and you have a tiny little early eager beaver to look forward to taking home for cuddles!!

[InThisTogether]

Ooh well done OP x
Glad he and you are doing well x x

[ScotsLamb]

Amazing! Have you told your midwife it wasn't braxton hicks?

You were right to be concerned about the pain level then. Well done x

[FluffyFlowerFace]

Yep trust instincts ladies. I'm awaiting a review from medical team to find out what happened but he seems ok. Out of incubator and passed hearing test x

[crazypenguinlady]

Congrats on your baby boy! Well done on getting through most of labour without realising

Hope you both go home soon. Keep us updated

[WineAndTiramisu]

Congratulations!
