lol..........alcohol, why do i want to breast feed?!?!?!

Just checked my book and it suggest a shot of whiskey! Which would be stronger than what you ahve taken.
Sounds to me you have an irritiable uterus ! I presume you have tried paracetamol?

oh NJ just push the baby out.....dont wait for contractions to get worse get pushing (i am joking btw) am very jelous that you seem to be progressing better than me.........my contractions have trailed off this evening, was hoping he was gunna make an early appearance.....obv not yet!

hope it doesnt get too much worse without much action NJ you sound much worse off than the rest of us!

Paracetamol wouldn't touch it. The midwife (and another MNer) did mention irritable uterus, but didn't go into any details about it or anything.

Whatever it is that is going on, I wish that one way or another it would hurry up and bloody stop!

Why do you say you would not touch paracetamol?

NJ i felt the same with dd.......had contractions for 2 weeks before she put in an appearance (sorry that doesnt help you feel nany better does it?!?!)

You mean it wouldn't work. I have found it did on some mums... it takes the edge off.. would help you get some sleep.

Stacey this is the problem though, although the chances are very good for 34 weeks, there can still be complications, although it does seem to be few and far between that the complications are serious. I don't want to risk him being born just yet, ideally I would like for the consultant to say he will induce me at 38 weeks if it carrys on as it has been, that way I know I will still need to live through the next few weeks, but at least the end would be in sight, whereas at the moment, it could carry on into the middle of December!

Pupuce, I am a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to pain killers of any kind, and I really believe that paracetamol in partic only work if you believe they can - and I don't! I don't take them to relieve any kind of pain, pregnant or not.

Actually neither do i!!!! But with DD I was strongly encouraged and have to say I was gobsmacked as it gave me 3 hours of sleep! I never ever take pain killers otherwise !

i know how you feel NJ when i had the scare at 33 weeks i wanted to stop it all but the midwife in hospital wasnt going to if it was all happening, she was just gunna let it happen........made me feel strange.

now at 36 weeks i just want him out....and thats bad i know but true!

right am off, will be back tomo i expect! nj il be thinking of you!

Stacey, I think there must be something about 36 weeks, it is my aim in my head, I can put up with all this to make it that far, for the babies sake, from then on... anyone ever tried breaking their own waters? (I am completely kidding BTW!!)

See you tomorrow no doubt, g'night xxx

Hi all - It has taken me nearly an hour to catch up you have all been sooo chatty -
NJ - I feel for you, I have had friends that have been in "pre-labour" for weeks, with nothing productive happening, it must be so annoying especially not being able to sleep, but at least your ds is at school during the days, so I would try to rest then when you can - also completely understand your MIL issue (but I won't go there)
Stacey - you sound a bit down hun, remember that we are all here for you and that soon you will have another lo in your arms and a great new life as a newley wed mum of 2 how exciting.
Welcome to the newbies again. Sorry if I have forgotton anything but as I said it took me an hour to catch up!.
Well as for me - had midwives appt yesterday and I have a urine infection, which they say can harm the baby if I still have it when in labour I am due in 2 weeks, so they have prescribed me antibiotics - but I am like NJ and Charlee with medication and although I really don't like the idea of taking them, I think it would be better for the baby if I did? I don't know what to do - any advice anyone? My ds is not very well at the moment, so I am also having restless nights and I want to kill dh again Sorry - was adament I wasn't going to moan but he does nothing at all (except go fishing) fall asleep on the sofa all night and moan about how little I do!
Example of my day today:- 1) Up at 5:30am with an ill ds, made dh tea for when he got up, did a load of washing up and washing and tumble drying, Ironed all the washing (because dh has been moaning) made breakfast for ds and I, got ds washed, dressed etc. Picked dh up from the station at 11:30am and took him to the dentist (with a sick ds) waited for him, brought him home, made him lunch, made ds lunch, drove him all the way back to work only to get a phonecall an hour and a half later to go and get him again because he wasn;t feeling good, brought him home, cooked dinner for ds and dh, cleared up after dinner, hoovered the stairs, put another load of washing in and am now catching up on MN! HOw much more does he want me to fit in!! and being 38 weeks pg aswell
Am sooooooo sorry, wasn;t going to moan - am going to bed now - I wish everybody a half decent nights sleep and promise not to bore you all again tomorrow.

Oh god Mummy2Toby, moan away, LOL I have done more than my fair share these last few days!

I would take the anti-biotics, as you say it is best for the baby

Thanks NJ - (oops, I didn't go to bed!) - I will start to take them tomorrow, I know it is for the best but I feel unable to make any sort of decision at the moment speak tomorrow am really off to bed now

LOL Night night xxx

Good Morning all !

I had my first night of not getting up to go for a wee !!!!!!!! granted I did wake up about 20 times but I didn't have to get out of bed it was heaven ! Not gonna shout too loud cos it might only be a one off LOL

My hormones are shot to peices, i'm crying about everything, I asked DP for a cuddle last night at a really inconvenient moment (he was having a shave) LOL he said I will when I've done this ... I burst into tears, he thought there was something really wrong and then spent an hour consoling me cos I had got so upset over not getting the attention I wanted when I demanded it !!!!! Then I got upset cos I said he would get fed up with me crying, being paranoid and moaning and will end up walking out and I don't want him to leave me .... stupid pregnant bint that I am LOL All of this is in my imagination, he has done nothing wrong, it's just me ... when he says he wants the old Debbie back I can see why LOL ! Time this pregnancy lark was over with I'm boredof it all now LOL !

morning all!! god you lot were chatting yesterday!!

i have my mil here at the moment.. she is driving me insane (which kicked in about half hr after her arrival) managed to get a break from her yesterday for half hour, phoned up my mummy had a major rant! made me feel better - although she still driving me nuts.. shouldn't complain too much, she bought ds a load of new clothes, pratically a new wardrobe - and as he's nearly outgrown his current size i should be more gratefull! i could rant on here forever about her though!!

when i saw consultant the other day he gave me some codiene for pain... their amazing! it still hurts in the night but i can actually turn over on my own and get in and out of bed on my own (was having to wake dp to help me - so undignified!) i'm just taking them at bedtime though, they make me feel very drowsy.. and my god i'm constipated on them.. shall be adding a bottle of lactulose to my diet today!! worth it for the pain relief though i think!! i'm actually sleeping!! still taking my paracetamol during the day (it's not a myth, they do work and have the least amount of side effects/adverse reactions compared to any other painkiller - they tend not to work when people won't take them)

nj - goood luck at consultants appointment today!

oh debz, ow funny... you is slightly crazy!

i do the same to my dp

Morning all, I will let you all know when I can what goes on, and I will catch up with everyone later, DH is off work so I probably won't be on till after the appointment.

sarahlou - slighly crazy does not begin to describe it LOL ! I do feel sorry for DP poor sod, if i'm not moaning about my bloody SPD, sore boobs, aching back, twinges, not being able to do this that and the other I'm crying my bloody eyes out LOL !

Good Luck NJ let us know when you are able xx

sounds just like me debz...

gotta go get ready... have been summonsed by the mil
