Am I in labour???

[NatalieJane]

I know it has been done 1000 times before, but if nothing else I just want something to do with myself while my body decides what it is going to do.

I felt fine all day, got to about about 5 o'clock-ish, and very suddenly started to feel sick, didn't want to eat dinner but DH made me eat some toast which perked me up a bit, have been having fairly mild but intense contractions (can you have mild and intense at the same time?!!) with a tiny bit of back pain, coming every 8-10 minutes or so. The contractions aren't painful, but just really tight, and the baby has dropped really low.

Anyone who has followed the last 5 weeks with me, this is completely different to every contraction I have had before!

I actually feel really silly posting this, in case it turns out to be nothing, but I am bored and can't concentrate on the telly, so thought it would at least take some time up.

Gorden bennit, were you bored?!!! It must have taken you ages!!

But yes it is lovely to have all of this support, especially when DH is still at work, although I suspect most are that fed up of my 'is this it' questions, they would like to support me right out of MN!

DH has had a sniff, poor bloke!! He says he could smell a little bit of wee, but I had just had a wee so understandable, and he said he could smell something else that was stronger, but he wouldn't describe it as sweet.

Make of that what you will...

Likewise mellow, just poking head round door to share very funny event, not even bothered about NJ's period type pains.....

Just tidied kitchen after tea and spotted a lump of jelly on the floor...greenish...picked it up it was quite firm...thought long and hard about what it could be, Could only think of NJ's show.....PMSL until one of the dt's came in and whipped it out my hands, with a very enthusiastic "thanks mum, been looking for that" Apparantly it was a bit of an alien mummy. You know those awful alien pod things that come in an egg, the baby 'hatches' out of the mothers head, now there's a thought.....

No, he doesn't think so. It really does just smell very bodily... LOL I know that doesn't help, it wasn't a partic. nasty smell, and I know this is going to sound really daft, but it smells warm.... I know I said it was daft but it does smell warm....

I am never ever ever going to live this thread down, ever

LOLOLOLOL LG&T

This will be us in a few months! My due date is now 13th may NJ. We live in house #13 and my friend said she wanted the baby to be born on her birthday, also 13th may! not hoping or anything though.....

LOL at Dh sniffing your pants NJ....

Oh, it isn't a Friday is it??

And he didn't actually sniff the pad, I touched the pad and he smelt my fingers.... not sure it is any more dignified though! LOL (Deja vu, I have just explained all of this on my AN thread LOL)

Nope its a sunday, which makes me suspicious....all the others came on a saturday or a thursday. Weird i know.

So anymore stuff on the pad NJ? Not that im bothered......

Hello LG&T (waves at everyone else)

Ive been lurking on this thread for ages but missed the pad sniffing, ive heard it all now It feels like we are all having this baby NJ, i dont even know you but have found myself checking out the birth announcements waiting for yours. You have obviously made it too comfy in there
