Me too! Had lots of cramps pains and backache all yesterday, spoke to midwife this morning who thinks I am having a very slow progression into labour - eeek! Not too slow I hope!

bogwoppitinatree · 16/05/2013 09:51

Yay! Have you got lots of good DVDs to watch? I have brought complete sets of two of my favourite comedy shows so hopefully I won't be too tempted to blitz the house or anything. :) Good luck, hope it goes well.

NewlywedUpTheDuff · 16/05/2013 10:20

no, im still working from home so using that to keep me occupied! Just trying to keep my mind off it as it could be a while yet. midwife says that the paind could fizzle out, but i hope not! i wish they would start off properly though because at the moment its just like strong period pains and aches which are horrible :(

Hi all, I'm due 30th may, but am booked in for c section on the 24th may. I'm pretty sure the baby's head engaged yesterday.

preggersbycheggers · 16/05/2013 10:33

Still 2/5 engaged and still back to back :( boooooo baby. Move your bum!

Still at least the right way up!

Was feeling alot of pressure last night and was sure my waters were going to burst out of me at one point! However nothing doing so another day of waiting. Boo!

May look up clary sage....

NewlywedUpTheDuff · 16/05/2013 11:56

Awww im so jealous, sounds gross but I've never wanted to mess my pants up so bad! I've had no signs of impending labour whatsoever!

If it makes you feel any better all the signs I'm having could go on for weeks Confused

mildred37 · 16/05/2013 13:24

Yes, signs mean nothing - I've been having them for weeks, or at least I think I have!

Have had a burst of energy today - so far have been out to get shelves and grocery shopping, cleared out our small bedroom, bagged a load of stuff for charity and emptied all the bins as well as organising our clothes drawers. Now having a test before doing some batch cooking for the freezer!

It's not normal...yesterday I could only manage a gentle amble around a garden centre with the MIL for an hour, I got home and needed a lie down lol!

That's ok then....feel less lazy now. Im not sure how tired im supposed to be! It's like being ill with no illness if you get my drift? I can get out of bed and then go and lay on the sofa all day and still be knackered!

OP posts:
mildred37 · 16/05/2013 16:28

I know exactly what you mean - Infact I've been on the sofa with a blanket for the last hour as I've just completely flaked out!!! Make another cuppa and don't worry about it - the way I look at it is that it's one of the only times you can get away with being lazy! ;)

True, also I seem to always get back ache whilst doing the washing up....wink wink....so the other half obliges Grin

OP posts:
mildred37 · 16/05/2013 18:27

Haha! All these aches and pains, it's just too much sometimes....and I couldn't possibly get up and make my own drink or get something myself as it takes me too long to get up....what a shame haha!

SucksToBeMe · 16/05/2013 19:03

I keep getting painful twinges in my pelvis. This is my 2nd and DS was born at 36wks EMCS so I'm clueless as to what labour is like. I'll be watching you lot like a hawk!

Had a dream last night I went into labour alas nothing today! I'm still getting lots of twinges/period pains/braxton hicks, but then nothing... I'm probably still weeks away!

mildred37 · 17/05/2013 08:25

Not a sausage :( have woken up feeling ravenous and with a banging head so am going to go and get some fresh air. Doesn't help having our sewers dug up right outside our door....Angry
