Hi everyone,
I'm 37 weeks today and since last Saturday I've been getting contractions and cramps. They sent me home Saturday and I was getting cramps for about 6 hours not close enough together etc but they could see that they was coming on the machine!
Then this Wednesday it started up again I had contractions and tightenings from 8pm till 4.30am I was examined by the midwife apparently I was 1cm dilated and she could feel baby's head, so she's very low! I know this anyways because I'm constantly feeling pressure down there! My waters haven't leaked I don't think I've had a show either 🤷🏻♀️😩 then woke up Thursday morning contractions again from 9.30am till 3.30pm and they stopped and I had random cramps here and there. Yesterday same thing happened random cramps throughout the day until about 5pm then they started up again stronger and very uncomfortable loads of pressure down there lightening crotch and pains down my thighs and bum! Woke up this morning and I'm just so sore and achy and tired I feel soo drained. I rang the midwife up and she said it sounds like I'm in early labour and my body is trying to go into labour but I need to relax and be stress free which I've been trying to be, she said have a bath and get on a gym ball, when I told her about midwife feeling baby's head Wednesday she was quite shocked! All she could say was to relax have warm baths and bounce on my gym ball. I've had a bath, been trying to relax and I've bounced a bit. I'm getting cramps again after having them on and off this morning and early afternoon but now I'm getting them again my body aches I'm tired and I don't know what to do with myself! This is my 4th baby and my first girl and I feel she's being stubborn 🤣 but jokes aside yeah I'm just so fed up as I've been having this on and off since Wednesday! I've got a midwife appointment on Monday and I want to examined again to see if I dilated anymore and if these cramps etc have even been doing anything!!! Anyone have this? If so how long? I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel at the moment and I can't have this going on for another few weeks I won't be able to cope with it and while having to look after three boys! 😩😩😩😩🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
