My lovely midwife is all but convinced DD1 will arrive anytime now. Had bit of a show early Thursday morning and lost plug early Friday (apologies if TMI) and have had fairly consistent period like aches since then. A few rounds of distinct pains for a few hours at a time, but nothing that I have really thought of as a contraction or seemed worth timing.
Don't want to rush her or anything, as long as she is healthy she can arrive when it suits her, but am feeling a little ambushed by calls, visitors and texts. My mother is overly anxious and in tears if she doesn't hear from me. I know everyone is just excited and means well but am I awful for wanting to just retreat? Will a bit of peace and quiet help do you think?
My first so not sure if I should be doing anything specific to encourage her along or just ignoring it until its obvious. Miserable out today but am thinking maybe a little walk with mobile switched off might be nice.
If lo arrived today we would share a birthday and after last couple of nights was sure that was her plan!
