Anxiety now of going into labour :(

[Cheekychops84]

since having a false alarm last night I'm now sitting here all anxious it's going to kick off ! Someone give me a slap please and tell me im being silly :(

i remember that feeling. i had a few false alarms.

i seemed to spend most of my last few weeks of pregnancy scrubbing floors, cleaning out cupboards and weeing!

it's very, very normal!

Don't worry! It'll be fine. It will be over quickly and then you'll forget about it really quickly too. I'm not saying it doesn't hurt but you will be fine and your lovely baby will be there at the end. Just don't think about it and let it happen!!

Thanks you two! I know I'm being silly but it really hurt last night and not nearly as bad as it's going to now I remember what it's like (it's been nearly 5 years) jus hope I sleep tonight ! I'm sure I will as I didn't last night !

Know it might not do much good but try paracetamol ora warm bath if you can!

Yes thanks tamzo I was going to but can u believe we had no paracetemol in the house ! I've stocked up today and packed my bag to make me feel better :)

So you've done it before! Second time is loads easier! DS2 just fell out!

I'm the same. Have been fine right through until 37 weeks but now can't help thinking how much it will hurt and also worry we won't make it to hospital on time as I keep having pains so might not know the difference between what I'm having and labour

I´m really anxious too. DS due Monday and I just dont know what to expect (1st DC) I´m on edge and really responding to every move in my tummy which feels "different". Maybe it doesnt feel different and its my imagination.

We only have 400m to the hospital which is a good thing, but still........ I am totally freaked at what to expect.
I know everything will be fine, but its just the whole waiting game and not knowing when something will happen which is making me insane!
Thank goodness Im not the only one!!

:-)

Good Luck!!

and Cheekychops you´re not being silly. It all sounds perfectly normal to me - thats what I actually wanted to say.

Thanks ladies :) yes peachy I keep telling myself "pull urself together woman this is the third one!" and like u dd2 slid out lol my mum likes to say "u shell em like peas" geez thanks mum and I managed to get as far as her head showing on gas and air with no midwife in sight ! I was away with the fairies ! I jus need to keep very occupied !
