How are you getting along??

Oh Reebok hun, I can't help you, but keeping fingers crossed this is it and sending positive vibrations! (ride the wave! :D

cogitosum · 24/07/2013 22:12

Congrats moomin

Reebok I'm having very similar and also concerned about timing.

Reebok · 24/07/2013 22:28

Stomach hardens every 8 mins or so but pain constant

cogitosum · 25/07/2013 00:34

I'm having lower back pain every 6 mins (approx)

I wish I knew whether it was contractions. I'm just trying to sleep through it and it's not working.

Not helped by roadworks going on incredibly loudly outside.

reebok and cogito

talk to antenatal ward or triage at your hospital.

they will tell you what to do.

Let's hope this is it, fx for you both! x

TomDaleysTrunks · 25/07/2013 07:19

Any news?

Reebok · 25/07/2013 07:28

Not from me. Been in pain most of the night And morning but seems to have subsided for now. Haven't slept and absolutely shattered so going to try now. I can't take another night of this.

cogitosum · 25/07/2013 07:38

Nope... Still having the pains but they're now about every 10-15 mins... I'm going backwards!

wavesandsmiles · 25/07/2013 08:02

I want to die. Pain is now everywhere pretty much, completely exhausted and am going back to hospital as early as possible this morning. Even half an hour to step out of my body would be amazing. Splitting headache, still the relentless back and leg pain, which is now transmitting up to my chest. And contractions which are erratic but strong.

I've had around 3 hours sleep in 2 days now and have not had a break from pain for about 40 hours.

I think someone needs to have a quick baby to spur this one and others on....

Reebok · 25/07/2013 08:33

Pain in back and tightening again. Doubt this is it but don't think I'm getting any sleep!

cogitosum · 25/07/2013 10:25

Now coming about every 10 mins. Spoke to midwife at triage and they think this is it! I'm not too worried as going in tomorrow regardless so it's nice not to have to be really impatient!

It's not really painful but definitely coming in waves and building to a peak so fairly sure it's contractions.

marushka82 · 25/07/2013 10:36

Yay Cogito! Great news!

Nothing from me (grrr).

cogitosum · 25/07/2013 11:40

Hmm went to every 6 minutes and now the last couple were 15 mins apart.

Reebok · 25/07/2013 12:26

What does show look like? I had this sort of whitish yellowish gross stuff I noticed on a pad this morning...more than my discharge usually is. Is it just thicker discharge?

mrsspagbol · 25/07/2013 13:46

Hi Reebok - google images for pics of show, it's like a lump of snot (large one) but varies in colour.

Best of luck cogito!!!

ZingWidge · 25/07/2013 14:19

reebok yep it is probably the plug - it comes out in bits, varies in colour :white- pale yellow- pinkish-orangey- red

good luck to all of you, I predict 3 babies by Sunday night
(getting brave based on good signs!).

TomDaleysTrunks · 25/07/2013 14:23

Think I'm the only one not doing anything! All quiet here.

Hope this is the start of something Reebok.

Reebok · 25/07/2013 14:24

Thanks zing and Spag Bol.

Went for a walk and been cleaning again. Pain has started up again all across bump, lower pelvic area and back. Trying to keep active and distract myself.

Reebok · 25/07/2013 14:25

How far along are you Tom? Hopefully this is it for me...and hope things get started for you asap!

mrsspagbol · 25/07/2013 14:39

Good luck Reebok - really hope this is it for you.

Zing please can you predict me for Saturday arrival instead as my DF is leaving the country soon and I want him to see my DD before he does, Sunday is cutting it fine Sad

TomDaleysTrunks · 25/07/2013 14:45

39+5. Had DD at 36 weeks so this is unchartered territory for me! Bah!

cogitosum · 25/07/2013 15:12

Coming about every 7 minutes now. Looks like I may well be going in before my induction tomorrow morning!

ZingWidge · 25/07/2013 15:15

Spagbol done!Grin

mrsspagbol · 25/07/2013 15:22

Yay Zing!

Good luck Cogito

marushka82 · 25/07/2013 15:31

Tom, you're not the only one. I cleaned the flat today, went for a long walk yesterday, I'm bouncing on my ball and nothing. I'm 40+1 today.
