hey pinky i've been getting those sharp pains too.. makes me jump and have a sharp intake of breath!!! (or swear!)... i think it's babys heaqd against my pelvic bone but it flippin kills and then leaves me with aches afterwards. i'm getting tightenings too but not painful at all - just a bit awkward sometimes. Them shooting pains are horrible and not like how i remember contractions being. Hope something happens soon for you -it's pants waiting around for it to happen eh?!!!lol!

Yep they do hurt but because they're so quick its not too bad. How are you sleeping? I've been awake since 3.30, 4th night in a row. The pain in my back is getting slightly worse, have had a few pains that I can only describe like constipation pain I just wish someone could tell me if this is early labour. I think the only thing I'm worrying about now is that it happens really quick while I'm at home on my. But tbh I'm feeling quite calm and not sure I'll actually believe its happening when it does.

Morning, how are we all today?

The weather is beautiful here! Really warm too.

Pinky it sounds like baby is bouncing on your cervix and that's where the pains are coming from. Hopefully you won't be too long now!

I've been up all night with a cracking headache and regular braxton hicks. So bloody annoying. Im off to Asda this morning, fingers crossed my waters go or something haha.

Apparently you get free asda shopping for a year if your waters break in the shop. Not sure how much truth there is in that!
You must be Very fed up now hun! X x x x

 

[jodied]

Yes hopefully your waters will go in Asda pp and you will get free shopping!

 

[jodied]

Im here stıll no sıgns of baby though ... was out all day shoppıng ın bırmıngham yesterday so never made it online ... thanks for the text last night pinky id just fell asleep, i started texting you back but then just couldnt be bothered finishing so sorry ..... Still no signs Nothing Nada Nilch! ....

Ive decided my midwife may not be too useless anymore, she popped round while i was out yesterday and spoke to my mum.. she was only meant to be ringing me but never mind. She promised shes going to try really hard to get me booked in for either tomorow or wednesday so hopefully hospital will be able to fit me in .. If not ill have to wait untill next Monday! So I should be getting a phonecall today with an induction date wish me look that its for this week

Ohh and pinky your pains sound promising I think your gonna have you baby by the end of the week

 

[cherelle]

Thats good Beth - sounds like the midwife is being proactive!

Pinky im exactly the same, getting the same pains really down low and also the constipation type pains but im not constipated!! Also been awake every night for at least a few hours in the middle of the night xx

Morning everyone. Another day of waiting begins for all us overdue ladies.

Nothing much happening here, just the usual niggles, aches and pains.

So far I have
- Occasional stabby cervix pains
- General constipation like aches
- Irregular BH

I don't have
- Any pressure (don't think he's engaged yet)
- Any bowel clear outs
- Anything I could honestly describe as pain with tightnings

It dosn't sound good does it?

Any tips on how to get baby to engage. As far as I can tell there is no real chance of labour starting until he moves down.

Anyone else got any impending signs of labour?

[xx emma xx]

I think if you bounce on a birthing ball that can help baby to engage catty. I have one but I'm really lazy and never actually sit on it lol xx

 

[catty1]

I got one yesterday. Well I assume it will work, it's just a cheapo excercise ball from ASDA for £6. Bounced around a bit yesterday evening but the urge to play rather than bounce was too strong and my OH confiscated it because he was worried I would hurt myself!

Will try again today. have also heard that all fours is a good position so might try that for a bit.

I'm getting desperate now. I didn't think I would be like this. I always said I would have many years of having a child so a few more days before my life changes forever would be good thing. Now I just literally can't wait for him to come out. I feel like a child on christmas eve, I'm literally pacing the house waiting.

Hi All,

I haven't posted much today as I am fed up and quite bad tempered. Yesterday the girl who served me coffee (never given birth herself) asked how far along I was. It was a mistake to engage her in conversation. She began to give me advice on being induced and how I'd need an epidural after as the contractions are much worse! Stupid cow, I only ordered a coffee, not shit advice. Then my brother rang me and thinking he can also discuss childbirth with me.... After my response to this he has told my mother he won't be ringing me again until Isabella is born! I don't know about you all, but I only like pregnant people at the moment (or new mummies)! I have not been suffering from hormones till now, but suddenly I am a lunatic! Lol

I have had period pains, tightenings, low down stabbing pains, clearouts, for days, and still nothing. I am too knackered and uncomfortable to enjoy these last days and really want to avoid being swept, induced etc., but nothing has worked, even sex. I am considering the swallowing tonight that some of you have mentioned, but will need some chocs handy to finish with

 

[xx emma xx]

I'll be exactly the same if I go overdue. I wont be able to bare it, I'm the most impatient person. Mines was a cheap exercise one from argos too. I'm the same I end up not bouncing and doing silly things on it, I've had so many incidents of almost falling off and grabbing the closest thing to stop me falling to the ground. They should come with a warning on them xx

 

[setdse]

i had pre eclampsia and was induced in hospital and i was bouncing on the ball watching a film on my laptop. Try distracting yourself when you are on it so you arent thinking about bouncing.

It majorly helped bring on my contractions and if mine hadnt started that night they were going to do a c section! Worked wonders!!!

GET BOUNCING!!!

 

[catty1]

I'm bouncdinig now. It's really hard totype

aargh the sleeping is a bit rubbish too for me.... i'm getting really bad acid reflux.. so bad the other night it made me cry and hubby thought i was in labour!!! But i took 4 gaviscon dual action before bed last night and they seemed to do the trick.

Have to get up at least twice for the loo and just spend all night turning from right... to left.. onto my back and then start all over again - so achey at nights. I am well impressed if i manage to sleep all night with only one trip to the loo!!!

I just got rid of thrush last week and then this morning a mean little pile has put in an appearance... grrrrr!!! As long as i don't get piles as bad as with my first pregnancy i think i can cope with just one!

bet you wished you never asked now!!! lol!! during the day i feel fine apart from them horrible stabbing sharp headbutts to the pelvic bone!!!! oh well not long now eh... i was 10 days over with my first so i'm thinking it'll prob be similar this time - might even be a June baby!!!

 

[xx emma xx]

I actually hate bed time now. I go to bed around 11 and I am never sleeping before 2am, sometimes im up until after 3.30am. It's my bad heartburn and acid reflux keeps me up. I end up sleeping in the morning until about 11am to catch up on sleep.
And as for thrush, aaaargh I have it again after being on antibiotics. It's doing my head in! Xx

i think you should write us a made up story whilst bouncing just for laugh and to keep us all amused hee hee

 

[cherelle]

My ball is the Asda one too, i love it! I put a music channel on and bounce along to the songs, it gets quite energetic when a song i like comes on lol! x
