Getting ready for labour??? Sorry if TMI but TMI warning

[mumtobe123]

I'm 34weeks 35weeks Boxing day, with a baby boy :) first baby :) but have some niggling questions, I'm an over worrier lol

Okay, saw the midwife today and as I suspected, the babies head is moving down, not engaged but lower than last time and moving down, it feels lower every hour!!! The pain is unreal down there (tmi) but feels as if his head is just rubbing against 'it'. lol

Also I am so so so so tired, I cannot get enough sleep, I am constantly tired and I don't feel right, I feel off, and not 100%.

Think I'm getting an increase in braxton hicks, loads every day for the past week, loads and loads, cramping like before a period in my lower back and belly.
I was real breathless but as he has gone down its better now.

I am always cleaning and house working, get annoyed really easily by mess, I'm not one to care usually, I'm one of the worse offenders!

Still have a huge appetite, toilet stuff is normal if not increased now, since I have been pregnant I was a bit 'backed up' till recently, sorry tmi lol

I was a premmy so was my whole fam, I was 33weeks, my dp was 37weeks although he tried to make an appearance at 29weeks lol I think the baby may be early I just have a feeling.

I also can't see me or my body going till the 30th of Jan! I am always ill at Christmas and miss out and have a belated Christmas so it would be typical of me for something to happen Christmas, but I really wanna eat all the nice food at Christmas and enjoy it, so of course sods law!

There was troubles with me and high blood pressure/ pre-eclampsia, but thats all good now, family history of babies early and pre-eclampsia etc.. but I'm managing to control it all, just been resting more. But I am so tired and I get more than 12hrs sleep, well baby moves allot and likes to painfully jump on bladder etc. and keep me awake a bit, but it's ok, he is sweet cute and perfect!

Just wanted to know if I'm over freaking out, over analysing etc. lol
Thanks for letting me get a load off my mind.

Oh and how do babies know to turn upside down because they know they are upside down so surely it's weird for them after being the right way for however long, mine turned upside down at 27weeks and has stayed and is going down down down!

Merry Christmas

Thankyou and good luck, I hope you have a good christmas :)

Try not to worry to much about the baby coming early.

I was born 6 weeks early and my sisters were both 5 weeks early.
My DD was 1.5 weeks early, but DS was a week late! I was convinced I was going to have DD really early, but it's amazing how much more pg you can get after the point when you feel like you might well pop!!!

oh everything has been ready because of all the stuff with the blood pressure got me sent to the hospital lol but i was sent back, I don't think he will be stupid early but now I'm just having a feeling, but I also feel after all this he will be ridiculously late! I'm not worried about early that much, I and everyone else was absolutely fine and things have moved along so much and lots of babies do just fine, I would rather he stay in till he was definitely ready and fine. Hospital birth all the way! I'm a wuss with pain, but scared of having the pain relief, I'm a big chicken, but billions of women do this every day so I figured I need to suck it up!
I don't feel like I'm going to pop, I can put my own socks on and stuff and can pick up things from the floor, but then if its awkward places I can't.
I'm an over thinker an over worrier etc., thanks for letting me rant it out tho, I do feel a bit d&v ish now though...but whatever will be will be as the song goes!
