Nearly 35 weeks now. Loads of pain in pelvis and pressure like it's 'full'.
Woken up today and can't stop pooing (sorry for tmi) but not upset stomach iykwim.
Strong uncomfortable braxton hicks every 20 mins.
Just been feeling generally crap last few days, no energy and like I'm coming down with something.
Can't sleep properly and all of a sudden feel very pregnant.

Just a self indulgent wail really as I can't do this for possibly 7 more weeks- I'll lose the plot!!

Ginger try and get some rest. Might help a little.

Lairy glad the hairdressers went well. That waa quick! My hair normally takes 3 hours!

Ooo still having a show!! That's better than nothing! if dh won't do anything try solo. An orgasm causes uterusto contract

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 14:46

Just realised hes not moved a lot today. Ive had 1 kick. Since 11ish

GingerRodgers · 02/08/2014 15:39

Lairy, hairdressers sounds lush. I'd love some pampering. All sounds good with the show! Fingers crossed.
ilove, can you pop up and get checked?

OP posts:

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 15:43

I dunnoo if I had a bit more show? In a bit of pain now. I cat napped for about half hour. Ds1 is being a good big brother amd entertaining ds2 (ds1 is 4 next month and ds2 is 1) its very sweet to see.
Feel like im cramping really bad.

baby has moved (shuffled) and was pushing down a lot. Ive had a bit of movement too.

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 15:55

Tmi

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 15:56

Tmi but think it was more plug without blood just really thick mucus not like thrush like when I had show minus the blood iyswim

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 15:58

Shouldn't have but did googlw image and looks like more plug

GingerRodgers · 02/08/2014 15:59

No such thing as tmi here!
Hmm, with dd I only saw the first bit of my show- was like a big blob of blood stained snot.
I know it got more bloody and loads more of it but the midwife dealt with it as I was too out of it by then!
As long as you're happy baby is moving?

OP posts:

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 16:37

Yep hes moving more now like hea trying to wiggle out of me lol

GingerRodgers · 02/08/2014 16:55

This baby makes the most painful movements! I'm sure dd wasn't this bad or I've blocked it from memory but it's awful, great big breathtaking movements.

OP posts:

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 18:43

Lol. Wheres the eviction notice
Getting irregular painful tightenings alongside a pulling sensation. Also had bit of a clear out.
Dh thinks I have to wait until the date ive been offered fora sweep he doesn't quite understand how childbirth works lol.

Not been able to eat all day which isn't me! All of a sudden fancy a take away so its on its way.
lost some pinky stuff too

LairyPoppins · 02/08/2014 20:19

Still waiting here. More regular tightenings, some of them a bit painful, but not quite 'contractions' yet. I think it could still be days...... :(

ilovemonstersInc · 02/08/2014 20:26

Ohh lairy

ilovemonstersInc · 03/08/2014 06:40

Had pain every 4-5ish mins lastinf 1min. Quite painful.
Then nothing. Then at stupid o'clock this morning they woke me up then nothing and again been awoken by pain

how is everyone

LairyPoppins · 03/08/2014 06:47

Oooooh ilove, that sounds promising!

I had no niggles in the night and have woken up feeling like I will be pregnant FOREVER.

It's double bad because my family know something has been happening Te past couple of days and they all think birth is imminent!

It's crap, all this waiting, isn't it?

Are you having pain now? How bad is it? Anything regular?

ilovemonstersInc · 03/08/2014 08:47

Pains have bloody stopped.
Been like this for weeks now.
Im tired from it all now.
Tired from not sleep properly last night but feel like I have the energy to clean so will get some cleaning done.

I was reading on baby centre that sex/diy and nipple tweaking are good ways of helping things along.

Id love to have more sex but im just so big lol. We still have sex so its nice to know even at this size dh ia still attracted lol.

Have you got anything planned for today?

Ginger how are you doing?

ilovemonstersinc · 03/08/2014 20:10

Is no news good news??

GingerRodgers · 03/08/2014 20:36

Not a great day, very tired and emotional. Off to bed shortly.
Just been out for tea and when we got home realised my feet and lower legs are massively swollen all of a sudden. Feel very dizzy and short of breath so hoping it's just aches and pains and a good sleep will sort it.

OP posts:

ilovemonstersinc · 03/08/2014 21:02

If you don't feel any better ring mw and see what she says.
hopefully it's just because you have been out

LairyPoppins · 04/08/2014 05:20

Morning ilove and Ginger

Ginger, I agree, get swelling checked out today if possible - in my last pregnancy that was one of the main signs that I had pre-eclampsia starting.

ilove any pains picking up again?

I have been woken every 1/2 hour or so in the night (starting at midnight) with pains and contractions - just got up to have some tea and toast and hoping they progress. I have an appt with the MW at 9am.

ilovemonstersinc · 04/08/2014 08:18

Lairy thats what ive been worried about this time.I have kidney problems and so I more at risk of p.e and upto now apart from kidney infections ive been fine until last appointment. It was one of my highest bp's and protein+2. They should have checked the amount of pro but it was a different dr who didn't read all my notes so didn't. Ive been getting headaches but just watching everything.
ginger how are you feeling today?

Lairy I hope they progress for you. Nothing here apart from period pain back ache but im sure I have another uti.

Timeforabiscuit · 04/08/2014 08:21

Swelling in feet gone this morning. Was there all night though. Felt awful, very dizzy and short of breath. Must have over done it yesterday.
Thank you for asking!
Hope everyone else is doing ok?

OP posts:

ilovemonstersinc · 04/08/2014 09:11

Keep within your limits so you dont get like that again. Must have been horrible
feel crampy again....

Lairy good luck at mw

LairyPoppins · 04/08/2014 10:49

Am back from MW. Very depressing.

Am still only 1cm dilated. MW said I was NOT in labour. Could still be a week. She offered to break my waters but said it would be likely that I would then end up with a section as they would then only give me 24 hours to have him.

Even more depressing is that on Friday they said he was fully engaged - he is not engaged now, and she said my cervix wouldn't dilate unless he was engaged. My bouncy ball deflated on Saturday, but I have bought another one this morning so will be back on it bouncing today.

Grrr, so frustrated.

Ginger, glad you are feeling better :)
