Ow ow OW! Effing Braxton Hicks!

[MrsChemist]

I'm fucking sick of them.

I actually thought I was going into labour a few days ago, they were so bad. They weren't like this last time.

I've got at least another 7 weeks of this. It's bad enough that the baby seems intent on kicking a hole in my sides.

I'm so fucking uncomfortable.

I need a but a will have to do

Oh me too I am 36 weeks and feed up. Even had projectile vomiting last night and thought something was happening but NO .
Really want a bottle of wine never mind a glass! This dc4 and my other 3 have all been 5 days over so no hope of going early!

Oh dear, you have my sympathies. I feel a little queasy, but I'm attributing that to the iron tablets I'm taking.

Luckily, DS was two weeks early. Fingers crossed this one is a teeny bit early too. Not too early obviously, but 38 weeks is fine.

It's just so bloody uncomfortable all the time. Even lying down, something aches.

Ditto, I too am 33+3....

They get stronger with each one. I've had 2 OP labours (dc1 was perfect textbook labour & birth) and the last one was particularly hard. This baby (36+5) is also OP so all my BH are like OP labour.

Which has got dh to realise that asking for a section may be no bad thing...

Seriously, they've got to the point now where I had to pull over today as I didn't feel I could drive with my eyes closed while counting and breathing through a 'painless BH'.

Painless my eye.

I didn't have them with dd1 but with this pg (twins) I have said to dh on a couple of occasions "I don't think I'm in labour but...."

I've been told that dehydration makes them worse and I have seen a link - drinking seems to help a lot.

I do need to drink more really, I'll try that.

that it gets worse with each pregnancy. Is it just that your
Body becomes more masochistic as you go along?

Nah - I think it just thinks 'oh, hang on, been here and done that' a bit like you normally show quite a bit sooner with 2+ babies than with your first.

You also get contractions after the birth (to help your womb contract) which are normally pretty painless with #1. By #2 they mean business and with #3 they were toe curling. Am really not looking forward to them with #4
