Think it's happening but can't tell

Oh here we go again!

All yesterday and all last night I've been in really bad pain, it feels like I might have strained all the muscles down there - possible as I was moving furniture

(Won't be doing any more of that for a while...)

Woke up properly at 6 with awful pain, thought it'd be going away by now but it's very crampy and painful. Thing is it is a bit like 2 wks ago, ie. nothing really timeable, but constant nasty pain that won't go away and is really upsetting iykwim?

Doula is coming at 10 for some exercises/breathing practise, so will be nice to have her around...but how do you tell if things are really happening? I suppose I could get the midwife to come out but am scared of her just saying 'see how it goes', seems a bit pointless really.

I don't really want to be having baby on the floor suddenly with no help though!

Am 39+5 btw

She was round earlier, knows situation but I don't want her to have to be here all night and all tomorrow if nothing really moves...

She's so near, I'll just call her when things start to hot up I think.

News time...Eurghhhh, just spent the whole evening/night feeling extremely sick...contx have stopped, I think it might have been Ds's stomach bug he had last week, and I think it has scared off the Ctx!

Sorry for lack of posts...was sitting with head in bucket...

But feeling a bit better this morning despite total lack of sleep!

Is this baby EVER going to make an appearance!??!

How are you, Lyndag??

NEXT WEEK???Noooooooo!!!!

Gos what an awful night you had. Hope you get some rest and when you wake up your body produces a little contraction and bambino pops out (this is my birth fantasy).I'm due today -thinking of having him or her at 12pm so I can have a bite of lunch afterwards

flightattendant · 08/06/2007 10:08

Beckmo, sounds perfect! Good luck getting through your due date, whatever happens!!

You know the first thing my DH said to our DD when she was born 'ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO!'

Don't sweat it FA - soon enough you'll have a baby shooting out of your fanjo.

beckmo · 09/06/2007 16:57
