3rd pregnancys/birth

[beckie90]

Wondering if anyone thats had 3 or more children. Is past 30wks just full of pain and false alarms?

I'm nearly 32wks now and past 2wks the braxtons have ramped up a lot more and more of them in a day, I've now got on and off period pains in my back and belly, and my ladies bits (sorry tmi) really hurt feels very heavy and achey constantly like I've got a football down there also feels rather bruised, the tightnings Today are tightning so hard that I can't breath when they come. So is this normal? I cannot imagine the next 8wks been like this I may go a little crazy lol. Xx

Im the same! I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and experience just that... Think positive hun, 8 weeks is not that long really xx

My third, born 3 weeks ago, followed the same pattern as my first 2 and settled in quite comfortably for a long stay. Induction needed for all 3, with my latest being born by c-section. My last few weeks were fine, so hopefully you're not guaranteed discomfort till you deliver.

For my third I had loads of braxton hicks and yes at times I was thinking 'is this it?!'

But he was still 18days late and had to be induced, about took three hours once it got going but was a bit stoppy/starty but was very straightforward once it kicked off properly and ds3 was born at 5am and we were home by 10am :) just in time for xmas as it was 23rddec.

Oh dear :/ well since I wrote this I had a few hours of contractions Saturday night all lasting for 2 mins n 3 mins apart been loosing bloody mucus in bits for few days now. I told the midwife bout it but seems unconcerned

Really if it continues i would just call labour ward.

Losing plug doesnt mean much, i lost mine weeks before i went into labour and it regenerates but best to go get checked out.

Yea I know I was loosing mine for a while with ds2 just the clear one though not bloody. It started with blood around a week n half before I went into labour. Had some urine sent off too as there was some lucocytes showing in it, so its been sent off to see if theres any infection but that could explain the pains.

Yes coukd be infection but do just call labour ward and get checked out if you are concerned. Xx

Thankyou :) the period pains in my back thats driving me insane lol xx
