Back pain

[AugustMum]

Right, Im going to jinx myself and I dont even care! lol

I had my sweep yesterday (as said in another thread) and since that I had mild contractions during the evening that were coming about every 10 minutes. Some of them took my breath away a bit but nothing to write home about.

Went to sleep...then woke up...and nothing. Was very upset.

However, the pains have started to come back now. More in my back than anything this time but I can feel my belly tightening as well. There not as regular as last night so Im not going to bother timing them or anything.

A bit of a tmi moment here too, but last night and this morning Ive had a loose bm, and keep wanting to go to the toilet. Havnt had any plug come away or anything though, but that doesnt phase me. Im just hoping maybe this can go somewhere

Im going to toys r us later to have a little walk around and help things along a bit. Might buy a few things as well lol...I cant help myself!

lol toys are us!! i used to love that shop when i was little lol. well i really hope it happens for you today! my fingers and toes are crossed for you xx

sounds good hun. I was just gonna start a thread with the same title! Started to get some mild period type pains with my BHs across the front and back very low down.

Ill race ya!

probably totally jinxed mine, and I havent been timing them either....maybe I should start. Or maybe I should get on with cleaning the bathroom so its not totally gross when I have to bath my baby for the first time!

 

[AugustMum]

The race is on tiny!!!

Mines very low down in my back as well, whoop!

Lets hope Toon hasn't lost her magic

Good luck girls - I am soooo jealous! Still nothing further here. Sigh.

 

[titch]

I just text OH, think its jinxed now. Told him not to get excited or come home but....

and now theyve stopped. dammit.

 

[bobkat]

Hope they come back Tiny, sure they will, your body has probably just got used to first gear and now needs a little breather before pushing into 2nd

and

GO MEL!!!!! Come on baby, it's about time! Let us know if there are any good bargains in Toys r us as well though! lol

 

[AugustMum]

I did that last night!!!

I text FOB about half 11 and said to get some sleep but keep your phone on loud as theyre coming every 10 minutes, but it could easily stop. And it did lol.

It did amuse me that he text back saying 'so as a rough estimate if you can....like how long, rough time frame, would it take you to start pushing out a person' lol. i explained that he had a while yet lol!

Kiwi - dont worry, its probably my body gearing my up for a big disappointment again lol. Not long! Have you been told an induction date just incase?

Im starting to get back pain at the top of my back. It seems pointless and is more painful than at the bottom. Silly body.

 

[bobkat]

let's hope baby's sense of direction is ok then mel

 

[Tasha89]

Hope it progresses into full blown labour hun! Sounds like it could be the start of something!

I keep getting my hopes up at every tiny bit of back pain I get! lol! Had a HUGE BH last night with period pain and then a whole lot of back ache - was sooooooooo excited! Then nothing else happened...! Grrrrrr!!

 

[AugustMum]

Well shes been pretty awkward thus far so Im hoping she knows which way to go!

Ill deffinatly let you know if there are any bargins in toys r us x

 

[ERIN84]

ooooh, how exciting! My labour started with back pains xxxxxxx

OMG men never cease to amaze me. OH has booked annual leave. We had days and days of discussion about the due date being an estimate and you cant just book time off, you need to ask your boss (who is a woman who has had a child!) what the procedure is so you can take 2 weeks off without booking leave in advance. I really thought he understood.

He then said he was booking friday off, for my bday, which is fine. Then came home and told me it was all done, that he'd booked friday off then 2 weeks from them so he could have time with the baby.

noooo, it doesnt work like that!!! Now hes saying, Im not sure if I should go into work on monday cos hes not due til tuesday

OMG, hes a smart guy, really he is. We seem to have a real barrier on this issue tho!

 

[inky]

haha, my OH struggles with the whole due date thing as well, he can't understand how, if it takes a certain length of time to 'cook' a baby, why it doesn't come out when it's expected to. I keep on telling him he will just have to stop work as and when it happens, which thankfully he can do as he's self employed, but he keeps saying he needs to give his clients notice - and can't understand why I'm not being any more helpful lol!

 

[AugustMum]

I really do think its just a man thing.

Even one of my friends asked how long Id stay in hospital, so I obviously said as little time as possible, hopefully no more than about 10 hours after baby is born. And he was like omg! so if you havnt had the baby by then...what happens. At first I was confused but then figured out that he assumed as soon as my due date arrived I would go into hospital and have the baby within a certain time frame. some men have NO IDEA.

 

[titch]

can you imagine if we all rocked up at the labour ward on our due dates and had to wait in there until the baby arrives Its bad enough waiting as it is!!

Apparently they'll book me in for an induction on Monday for middle of next week - really hoping it doesn't come to that! I am sure this is it for you Melio x

 

[AugustMum]

Well everythings pretty much stopped now. Even after my walk round toys r us (no great bargins ) and the car journey in a very old jeep, making sure FOB went over all the bumps. My mum thinks Im going to be one of those people that rocks up to their inductions and already dialated to 7cm and just say 'well I had a bit of back ache....'

Ive got a bbq tomorrow with FOBs parents and him, and his sister and family, and his sister who was due 3 days before me had her baby almost 2 weeks ago now. I think his mum organised it hoping we would of had our baby by now

 

[Tasha89]

Awww - don't feel deflated Every little pain is your body preparing itself for the big event so you cant be far off now! Really hope it all kicks off soon for you though x

 

[adele88]

god melio its a shame for you i do feel very sorry for you i would hate to be in your position. maybe just relax and you never know xx
