God Debbsy I am very I can barely manage half a slice of toast at the moment, I am sat with a tub of grapes in front of me all day and I just keep popping one in every now and then to try and give me some energy! Having said that I am carrying that much extra water at the moment I think it is as much to do with that as the baby pressing on my stomach!
Pressure is good in that it is the baby pressing down, and obviously the lower he gets the better, but it is another one of those things that doesn't mean labour is going to happen within hours or anything, having said that, I think we are all sat here like sitting ducks and any of us could go at the drop of a hat, sit tight, bounce about, keep eating and drinking, and toggle between walking and resting, it is all we can do at this stage.
I don't know if it helps you in any way, but the only way I have managed to live a fairly normal life through all the contractions is to completely ignore them, I stopped clock watching, I stopped letting them stop us having dinner or going shopping or whatever else. Like I said I don't know if it will help at this stage, my mind set is now when they start I don't think 'this is it', I think 'god how long will they go on for this time'!!
