39+3 cant stop eating but .........

[Emsgale]

I also feel sick on and off along with going for lots of soft number 2s!!!????
what a combination!!
im exshausted fed up headaches and lots of braxton hicks and back ache!!!!

I feel like a absloute moaning wreck!!!!

This could be the start of labour, you know! It's exactly how I felt a few hours before mine kicked of 2 months ago today...

I posted on here at the time because I found it weird I couldn't stop eating. In my case it was my body getting ready.

ooohhhh I hope so!!!! I feel so ready in lots of ways just need the baby to agree!!
I got my.mum to come and help today as I just felt eeurrgghh and look like a pale ghost!!
the lead up to my labour with dd was so different much more spontanious but labour itself was very slow etc.

Sounds like early labour to me too :o

Oh, I hope this turns into a live labour thread !

im very much hoping so thank you MrsHuxtable and MonsterBookOfTysons

Oooh! I do hope so, Emsgale! although if it is I'll be mighty jealous... Just 1 day behind you!

All the best!!

spannermary im thinking I wont be that lucky ill probally be still be sat here moaning next week!!!

...and I'm pretty sure I'll be right here with you!

lol :-)

well just had a upsett tummy again!!
I may see if I can sleep but feeling very restless and hoping I can sleep through the tightnings not sure if there bh or very early contractions!?

oh my i think you are in labour my dear!

morning
well it was a long sleepless night with awfull period pains tightnings and lots of pooing!!!! iv woken this morning after a little sleep with back ache period pains tired and grumpy my dh says "that was a clearout I rekon" well dh if thats the case wheres the proper labour or baby this am??huh midwife!!!

Boo! I was hoping for a baby!! Here we have tons of snow...so now hoping to hold off for a day or 2

Keep us updated!

boo indeed im so fed up!!!
oh blimey snow!!! yes you want that to melt first!

I was tempted to ring the midwife to see what she thought of it all but then thought is there much point!?

Emsgale, I could have written your post!

Yesterday woke up to upset tummy which has continued along with killer appetite, BH and backache!

I am due on Sunday, but said the same as your DH that I think its my body having a clear out before things get going!

Got my other three children off school for the holidays, 12,4 and 22 months so got enough to keep me busy and not analyse every twinge!

My eldest cant wait to inflate the birthing pool (planned homebirth)! I think it is def the start of something, nature is very clever just try and get some rest today, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and go with what your body is telling you.

Jeez I'v been like this for the past few days and am only 36+4, plus was sick all Saturday night - hope it's the start of labour for you - really hope it's not the start for me I'm knowhere near home today
Keep us updated I love live birth threads
Good luck xxx

morethemerrier yes my symptoms are still going strong apart from the bh have eased a bit this morning I really hope it is my bodys way of getting me ready and sooner ratger than later as its exshausting!! im due saturday so were just a day apart!
my mums here helping with dd who is 2 as im walking around like a washed out zombie!
justhayley thank you. once you get to 37 weeks your full term so it wouldnt be dangerous.

I tend to get my strongest BH from about 9pm throughout the night, some strong enough to wake me but they don't turn into anything, but it all adds to the preparation!

When I was overdue with my 2nd DS and had a couple of false starts, a midwife put it much better, that with early labour its like trying to start a temperamental car, it ticks over so many times before something 'catches'! And off you go!

I think its exciting that you are noticing changes in your body, albeit a runny tummy is not something we would ordinarily welcome! It will be interesting to see what (and when) things do start for us, and if it was a sign of things starting!

Glad to hear your mum is helping you out, hopefully you will be able to get some sleep this afternoon, its a full moon on Friday, apparently that sets a sudden rush of labouring women, not sure how true that is!

In the meantime, I am going to potter, relax, eat, and enjoy as long as is left of what is my last (sob) pregnancy.

yes mine are at there strongest and regular from pretty much the same time too oh it feels so nice to know im not alone!!

when I had my dd the midwife said if theres a full moon it is always a absloute manic night for them!! maybe itll be friday then!?

what a good way to put it!
I dont know if its true but iv been told that the more on and off you are in the begining tbe shorter the main event is??!!
my dd's labour just started at 39 weeks no build ups etc but the labour was v long and fairly conplicated.

gosh reading this thread has made me realise there are a few of us in the same boat.

I'm 40+1 weeks had awful backache the last few days, loose bowels and a few irregular BH (so different to my first pregnancy). Trying everything from nipple stimulation, hot curries and walking to get things going - i may even have to resort to having sex as i am well fed up. All sorted for the homebirth so it's just a waiting game now.

Hope all goes well for you and the little ones make a safe, happy entrance to the world :)

hello ladies little update all symptoms the same but I think my wayers are leaking iv put a big pad on to be sure (doesthat sound right?)

OOOhhhh Emsgale that is exciting! Mine started leaking with DC3, felt a trickle in bed went to the toilet had a wee, got back in bed and it wasn't until I got up a couple of hours later that I started to suspect it was my waters.

It continued throughout the day, I soaked tons of pads, and my bump went a funny shape!

Nothing more to report, had a frenzy of cleaning at about 5pm, hoovering dusting etc, and just had strong BH, baby been grinding down all afternoon!

Keep us updated!

did your waters leaking kick of your labour or di you have to be induced??

well done you for having the energy to clean!!

Waters started leaking at about 6am (remember waking to a 'twang' type feeling then the trickle!)

Contractions finally started at about 7pm, continued until exam at 12 midnight when was 3cm, straight after which things ramped up and DD was delivered in pool at 1.40am!

They had an oaty kind of cereal smell and had a slight tinge of yellow.

More gushed out if I lay down for a while, or changed positions, and when the contractions started it came out with each contraction!

How are you getting on?

im feeling ok not very eventfull still getting a light trickle! im pretty dissapointed I was exspecting somthing full on by now!?

How are you this morning, not much going on here still got dicky tummy, was actually worse this morning, and also feel nauseous now!

My midwife told me it was probably my hind waters that went, and then as the head moves down it blocks of the cervix hence the trickle! I was waiting for the spectacular tidal gush but it never happened!

I have my three nieces coming for the day, so with my three its going to be a very busy and noisy day! The sun is shining so I plan a waddle to the park with them all.

Hope you have a nice day x
