Being angry and having epic BH?!

Ok so this is going to sound a bit weird probably but here goes!

Im 37+5 and for the last 24 hours Ive been having BH and period pain, no other signs, and then an hour ago we ordered a curry, they got the order wrong, I rang them up to complain and the guy shouted at me, I got all stressed (I know how daft this sounds Blush!) and then had THE worst pain like a huge BH. I was shaking and crying and it really took my breath and to be quite frank sh*t me up!! Hmm

Nothing has happened for the last hour, baby is moving fine, it all feels a bit weird though and I feel very spooked!

Any ideas anyone?!

Also, how swollen can my feet get before I sould worry?! I look like a moonin. Xmas Shock

Thank you!

Hmm, let's look at the evidence: period pain? Yep! Contractions? Yep. The Arse? Yep! I'd start timing your BHs and check your hospital bag! Very best of luck!! X

You shouldn't worry about swollen feet unless you also have worryingly high BP, as far as I know. My MW said that oedema is no longer necessarily an automatic alarm bell for Pre-E.

Mine are gross. Sad They were ok until a week or so ago and now I think they're up for the duration.

Thanks for the advice :)
Nothing happened until i went to bed then it happened again but not as bad, but that was a whole 6 hours later...Hmm

However it does definately feel like baby could possibly fall out.
Still have period pain but nothing is actually happening, if it happens again I will phone midwife, DP has just gone to work and we are iced in - what joy!

Feet had deflated a bit this morning, they were actually comical last night which was funny but quite alarming.

Hosp bag is packed, think I have catered for every possible event just incase :)

Bizarrely DP said ages ago that she would be early, 4 days before christmas so that I could attempt to compose myself in order to eat christmas dinner and I said that she would only come out when its a full moon. These 2 things seem to have come together quite nicely! I dont know whether to be excited or scared Xmas Grin

Thanks very much again, will update if anything else happens! x x
