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.

speed is about the last word to use where this labour is concerned lol!

Is that it? Sigh..........

Youre right,Nj and speed.

I got all excited then, I thought someone was handing out speed, thought it might have worked

Nothing doing today, loads of discharge, but that seems to hapeen when I move more, the very odd tightening here and there, nothing to write home about. My belly is killing me though, don't even want to guess how many muscles I've damaged today!

(I feel I must add I have never done or had any inclination to do speed before BTW!!)

am back...DH going out tonight...shall i be a piglet and order in for the second timethis week>>>>

Lulu DH is on a bit of a late tonight, only 7-ish but that is bath and bed time and so by the time everything is settled it will be getting on for 8-ish, I think we might be looking at delivery for the second time this week as well!

but i am not heavily pregnant.....DS is at my MIL;s for sleep over...and DD is in bed... i am supreeeeeeemley lazy ! and getting quite fat!!! LOL

LOL that is Marsy's fault with all her cakes and LG&T's fault with all her alcohol.

What are you going to order, I think I fancy a Chinese.

OK, Laydees, I can't drive because I've had 2 glasses of wine, but I can make pizza......olives, roasted red peppers and maybe even some real mozzarella.......

get down with them bangin' choons frumpy!

Nat - have ordered prawsn in oyster sauce and boiled rice...am in full piglet mode!

Nope not for me thanks, I've got rice and prawns on my mind now!! I will be offering the chinese menu in a bit for anyone that fancies it!

prawns? oyster sauce? you've upset my karma!!! What no homemade pizza with olives, roasted red pepper and mozzarella? I even have a lovely hand painted dish to serve it in.

We always share a main dish so we can have seseme prawn toast and prawn crackers, else we'd never fit it all in, and in fact knowing me recently I won't fit even half of it in tonight, but even the smell of it will be worth the £15!!

Frumpy, kepp mine to one side, it will be lovely in the morning

Keep I am out classing myself today!

NJ if you eat all that I feel a clear out coming on , tis a good sign

LOL How nice, I shall think of that when I am eating my prawn toast - thanks!! LOL

No, I don't think he is for shifting yet, and in fact the longer it goes on for, the more I am coming round to the fact that I will end be being induced. If all that has gone on in the last 7 weeks hasn't got him moving, I don't see why or how it change in the next 2 weeks.

Just takes us straight back to what on earth are we going to do with DS while I am in hospital, the whole point of the homebirth was because we've no one to watch him for us, and now it looks like we are back to that again. Anyway, that is a moan for another day I think!

LOL!! i wll also save my pizza for brekky!!

take DS with and stick him in the rellies room with the telly on , some snacks and a colouring book!!

BUT YOU WILL HAVE A HOMEBIRTH!

I HAVE LOST THE BET NOW , NO?

Hello all, still here, no change...still erratic contractions, more show though...yuck...and have had the longest bath in the world and even managed to shave legs!

Am craving spicy food (sorry DH if this repeats on us later in the birth pool) but we're having chili poppers for starters! Yum....oohhh they're done....see you laters...

I could really go for Eggplant Parmasean, but that is mainly because of my tomato obsession I've been having. Tomatoes are my only real craving.

keep it up cals!!

aubergine parmesan MKG...another favourite !!!

Actually just give me the marinara sauce. When I was pg with ds I drank a whole jar in about 2 minutes. I knew I was pregnant a week ahead of finding out with this one because all of a sudden I had to put ketchup on everything. I love tomato products in generally.
