Anyone else think they are starting to go mad?

[milk]

Seriously every time I feel a twinge or an ache I'm getting all excited thinking "ooh, is this it?!?" to the point that I think I'm starting to go mad :( Anyone else nutty like me?

I'm 39+2 btw :)

I had rib pain the other night and was thinking mad thoughts...Im 34+6 :o

38 today. Not normally prone to things like this, but every twinge is being very carefully analysed. I felt a bit sick earlier (not at all having to do with eating too much lunch, of course) and was sure it was a "sign".

DD1 was 2 weeks late - who am I kidding!

I am 39 weeks today and my sleep in shocking. I keep thinking my waters will break in the middle of the night and the same as you every pain could be it. I think as we are getting so close to our due dates the anxiety grows and grows. Night time is the worst, but those little babies have to come out sometime xxx

At the moment I can't tell if I'm having contractions (approx every 15mins) or if I'm about to do a poo I feel so silly!

Oh milk! That was what I felt like when I went into labour with DD.

Have you felt off all day but as the day goes on it comes in waves?

Yes. Still getting what I think are contractions every 13-15 mins... we shall see...

Good luck :)

I just feel miserable now. At 40+9 i'm ready. Had a little cry earlier - dont even know what over.

Induction booked for Monday, so not to wait now. :)

Milk I'm the same!

Keep on thinking I'm having a contraction then just pass wind! The DH thinks it's hilarious!

I'm 37+4 and haven't felt anything! Not a dicky bird! Baby's head is still free and it doesn't seem like she is coming anytime soon.

I'm of people having braxton hicks or 'tightenings'. The most I've had are a few period type pains which have just been me needing to fart

Good luck Milk I've got my fingers crossed for you butnotmylegs--

but not my legs

The contractions got to around 10 mins apart, then I fell asleep at around 9:30pm and they haven't been back since :P

Oh me! 39+5 today (40 by my own dates... Even worse!)

(Driving) to the supermarket is possibly the only place I've been "allowed" to go on my own all week- mother has accompanied me everywhere else as if I'm about to give birth.....NOW!!

Last labour was 6 hours and I keep thinking- if it starts now, I could have a baby by x o'clock.... But I could also wait another 2 weeks!!

Urgh and that stop start thing is annoying. Had it every 10mins for two hours Sunday night. And nothing

Glad it's not just me with the farting/contraction confusion issue (40+8)!

Milk: I sympathise. I twanged a ligament under my bump on Monday and it set off braxton hicks - kept going for several hours and were 7 mins apart and 30 seconds long by that evening. And then they stopped and I haven't had one since! (am also not convinced it was a ligament - I think MW was just being nice and didn't want to say it was just wind!)

I would like a little red light in the middle of my tummy which switches on when actual labour is actually starting. In fact, a countdown timer would be even better.

I have resigned myself also to thinking that from now on all days are equally likely/unlikely, and that I will definitely have had baby within the next 28 days.

I'm still working for another week or so, mostly for the sheer entertainment value of seeing the terror on colleagues' faces whenever I have a twinge. Priceless!

Totally, 39 weeks tomorrow and every stomach rumble or twinge of any kind and I'm on red alert!

Keep getting stomach aches/upsets (which I'm used to because of having IBS) but because of my stomach being shoved up, it feels in a different place and I'm forever wondering if it's contractions!
