Thanks Derek! Also got aches near my belly button too, so I'm now reading lying on my side.

Afreshstartplease · 01/10/2016 17:16

Tea it could but the start, but it could just as easily not be!

Nothing is the start. I'm going to be like an elephant and be pregnant for 2 year. I sense it

I spent yesterday feeling tired with period pains so I thought that it was starting but I've just woken up and feel nothing now. I also have a feeling this is going to go on for a while!

Aargh sorry have been lurking..

Please can I join? Due dc4 on 12 oct. BUT my other 3 had all arrived by now and stupidly I'd been counting on it as we're completing (moving!) end of the month.. !

I'm huge, uncomfortable (ate 6 kiwis in one sitting yesterday) and 38 +3.

Oh and I keep having days with on off period type pain and then nothing!

Afreshstartplease · 02/10/2016 08:32

Morning all

37+4

Lavender I made that mistake in my third pregnancy and drove myself insane! So I am trying not to make the same mistake this time. My earliest so far was born 12 days early. I now have 17 days til due date, so I'm saying anytime but remembering it could be the full 17

I don't however know how I would cope with going over due! I've never done that! I think I'd go completely insane

TeaGirl3 · 02/10/2016 08:47

Thanks everyone, that's really helpful. Fingers crossed the babies arrive soon and aren't overdue!

Afreshstartplease · 02/10/2016 08:57

Well about two hours ago dp and I tried out one of the wives tales to bring on labour. I've just had second pain in ten mins. Could it be? Or is it just a tease?

Think I'll have a bath see how that goes

Have a bath!

I have a feeling I'll be the last poster to have mine Grin

Had one more before I got in the bath, and then just some acheyness since

DerekSprechenZeDick · 02/10/2016 10:23

I'm just achey too.

I just want her out.

Get an exercise ball. Aching is eased by sitting on that

I'd just like my body back and to get settled in new routine!

However my house is not tidy enough for midwives and the like

I'm a bit gassy today...

Is that a sign or is that just the spices I've eaten in the last few days? Grin

Afreshstartplease · 02/10/2016 11:24

I've been gassy for weeks, since I felt baby drop down. Maybe yours is moving that way?

How will I know if it's waters or not?

Very watery discharge now and again for a couple of days now.

Hospital can swab you

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 02/10/2016 12:49

Hi, can't remember when I last posted. Waters went in boots at midday on Thursday. Little girl finally arrived Friday morning at 02:53 exactly 7ilbs.
Wasn't anything like the birth I had planned but have to say all the hospital staff were great and am happy not to be pregnant anymore!
Never had an early one before, know how frustrating it is at the end so hope you all get your babies soon.
