Help!...

[lv1983]

Hi guys,

wondering if anyone can help me. in the last week I have had 2 bloody shows, 3 mucus plug shows, slight diarrhoea (sorry, tmi!!) irregular cramping for a few weeks (both back, lower abdomen and around the belly button area - feels like someone is pulling a belt tight around the middle...).

Infact, the back pain is pretty much constant and is exactly the same as bad period cramping.

The baby has dropped and it feels as if I have a bowling ball in my pelvis (nice!)

I am also very tired... not had the 'energy surge' that people talk about.

If this is early labour, can anything be done to speed the process up? I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea by the gallon, evening primrose oil, pineapple, curry... you name it...

My due date is 17th September.

Thanks! xx

it sounds as if your bodys doing the perfect job already hun. Keep active is the only other thing I can think of. The day I went into labour I went on a massive walk, mowed the lawn and sat bouncing on my ball for ages.

thanks tillytots, I think (hope!) a good, long walk will get things going nicely

here I go... wish me luck, lol!

Hope this is it for you! I've also had a bloody show and diarrhoea this morning but nothing since! Maybe we will pop on the same day!!

 

[Tillytots]

Good luck

Fingers crossed for both of you don't forget to keep us all updated

WELL... went for a good 1 1/2 hour walk and it bought on intense pains around my tum (the 'tight belt' feeling again, only very, very OUCH!), at one point i had to sit on a bench and try and keep my face looking normal so as not to scare people going past, lol

Just got home so hopefully all the walking has kick-started baby plum into action! fingers crossed...

Thanks for all lovely messages guys! xx

I really hope that this is it for you!!

I have been having pretty much all the same things... except no bloody show and only loss plug twice.

So I am feeling for you... I know it is to early but I kinda hope mine is going to be early labour soon!

As you can appreciate it is draining and difficult....

Baby still snuggled in the womb!

Only things going on today are another 'show', major back cramping and more (ouchy) irregular contractions...

Labour dust, labour dust, labour dust!

and of course, a BIG sprinkle of labour dust to all you mums out there who are ready to *POP!*

Yeah! Keep active! Sounds like things are moving pretty slowly, a good long wal (and sex ) should work!! xx
