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.

I'm not sleeping lulumama - just waiting for the appropriate moment to do my thing............

don;t know if it will work twice...NJ will be expecting it now.....! lets try the silent support thing....

hmmmmm, we'll see.........

ta very much lulumamma, very tasty indeed. you do realise it will take a bit more that a sausage and pickalilli on wholemeal to thwart my plans tho?!

Good morning everyone, I'm glad to see nothing has changed. I'm feeling better and ready to spend the day with y'all.

You lot are bloomin' fruit cakes!!

Well I went into town, have made a nice big dent in the christmas list, a huge great big dent in DH's bank account (and my own ) and have managed to pull just about every muscle in my belly!! Really shouldn't have kept shopping when I couldn't carry any more, but if a bit of ovedoing it gets this baby shifted then it will be worth it!

I had a lovely fresh ham salad roll and a chocolate muffin for lunch in my favourite cafe, it is run by the campest, gayest, funniest man I have ever met, he is such a sweatheart, always cheers me up, and I always leave with a smile

I am going to catch up with the Nov. thread and then go and try and hide all these pressies, no idea where I can put them that DS won't find/see, we always used to put them in the spare room, but it isn't spare now...!!

can we talk now mars, as NJ is clearly not birthing ?

hope cals is ok....

maybe half whispering...

Hi mkg..glad you are feeling better...

debbyandbibsy back from hospital as contracting but no dilation.....

yes,yes, NJ and when you've done all that, go and have a nice lie down, maybe a little snooze, close your eyes...

lulu can I have some chicken salad? my cheerios didn't quite fill me this morning.

LG&T don't forget to ask me about cabbage patch kids.

Yeah why not? lol!

Considering you were all not talking, you sure did chat a lot!!

Can't imagine how much I will have to catch up on now Marsy has given the go ahead to talk again...

I am off to hide the pressies now....!

Well as you're not likely to give birth before mid Feb... you could always stand in front of the pressies. No one will see them!

LOLOLOLOLO!

MKG- help yourself , i made loads...and there is some left over mac & cheese ( see i can talk american!!!!) too !

LMAO

And I don't think I'd even call it a waddle anymore, more of a shuffle....!!

I am going now to hide these pressies, this rate I'll have tham stuffed down my coat when I go to get him from school!

Mars that was mean, funny, but mean.

Tham??? ...Them....

I am gone now...

mac and cheese m m m. . .

we have it once a week at least, MKG...it is DH;s favourite, never mind the kids!! it is one of the only things babylulu has consistently eaten!!! she is a horror for not eating!!! bless her...!!

Hello all, have had forced exclusion this morning, Hugs did something to the computer and i couldnt log in....it was very frustrating for a while there.

So no news then NJ, glad you are doing your xmas shopping, it would be no fun leaving it for 2 weeks and having to go out with your little bundle.

MKG i love cabbage patch kids, so does my sister and dd, over here (backwards obviously) we can only get the regular kids, hair covered newborns and cornsilks. I would like a preemie or bald baby with a dummy are they still available there ar have they died out everywhere? I just love the smell of them, have you ever whiffed one? LOL

My mom just made mac and cheese with lobster the other day. I usually put a little ground beef in so it is more of a meal in a bowl. MMM.

My ds is the total opposite of your dd. He eats anything you put in front of him. It doesn't matter if it's super spicy of piping hot, he swallows and opens his mouth again.
