Hi there
So I'm baking bread in the kitchen and I have a contraction and I think, This is the start, in no uncertain terms. I have another one about half an hour later. Not that it's really strong, just that i get the feeling that this is different from the two weeks of irregulars etc that I've been having. This morning I had a damp sensation and went to investigate and it was just some mucus, no pinkishness and it's not the waters, so I just put it down to discharge. (Anyone??) I am now feeling ever so slightly lightheaded, or not exactly.... but... sort of strange, a bit odd, removed from reality slightly and very very elated. Could be anything, so I am very calm and I don't feel panicy in the slightest, just a little high and my body has subtle pins and needles, sort of like a very slight buzzing. My DP is out at work christmas do and I have no need to get him back just yet, rather be on my own quietly for a while.
As I said, could just be a continuation of the pre labour I've been experiencing for two weeks, and I'll keep an eye on the contractions and dull back pain, which seeems fairly constant but I just wondered if anyone knows about this "high" feeling.
Hhhhmmmmm.
p.s am 39 weeks today.
