I am 38+6 today and up until yesterday have felt pretty much fab all pregnancy (lucky i know). Have been energetic and except for the odd night or two of bad sleep generally OK.
Saw midwife on Thurs who said head is engaged and the fact i have had some mild cramping/diarrhea could be a sign it won't be all that long.
Today i am exhausted (but slept well last night) and have period pains (on and off) which radiate into my lower back. Nothing too painful but baby feels marginally less active and v low and all in all i would say i feel as if i have PMT combined with nausea on and off. Diarrhea seems to have stopped but i have no appetite and generally feel a bit rough and tearful.
Is this the start of something or am i just ill? I am not wanting to get excited as we are having home birth and want to stay as relaxed as possible but wondering whether OH should set birth pool up or not or is it all just wishful thinking?! ;-)
