Good luck Angua !
I am not a happy bunny today. Possibly need soe doula-y advice re positioning as well.
Dh told me last night to have a nap whilst he cleared up, I ahd cooked etc so thought fair enough and did so- woke about 9 and the place was a tip! he'd not looked at clearning up, but was building a lego model (alone- boys watching a film). Said he'd do it when he finished, is aid well we'll do it together- except he finished at 11, 6 hours. He was getting anrky with me as well as his shift re-starts tonight and he was hoping not to go in as his Manager has arranged cover this week but not longer- so I should have had baby now apparently .
Anyway, about 10 started feelingr eally narky and PMT-ish so rubbed in loads of lavender oilo (myself, DH still bvuilding bloody lego) and went upa t 11.
About 5 (BST) woke up with good contractions- real period pain like draggys ensations, relaxed into them and they were strong and regular. Thought if I have 4 more I shall wake DH. Had 4 more, but then got an awful pain in my back which I immediately recognised as being the relics of an old coccyx injury. The pain from that became sosevere that I had to get up, and I just couldn't find any position that would relieve it- bendning over a birth ball, whatever. After a while I felt baby shift dramatically, and it was as if he'd been stuck against the coccyx and given up. contractions stopped after that and his head went quite high. So maybe need advice on getting past that point?
Couldn't resettle due to Dh's snoring so only one up, with a mountain of housework to do (DH won't do it today as he's back at work tonight. Also have killer level PMT again, really bad. And the childcare for ds1 and ds2 for thsi week fell througha s the application form / cheque got lost in the post (fottball scheme) and the places all got allocated, even though I applied early- they dont let you know until Friday for a MOnday start and by then it was too late.
Of course, with the PMT everything seems ten times worse but grrrrrrrrr
