Oooh been out all day and now catching up, thought it was a bit strange my phone had gone quiet Kat!
Blimey you will have great leg muscles after all these stairs , gotta look good when in labour stirups eh? ha

Hope your contractions get there times sorted out soon!

 

[Momma`Kat]

No more contractions still Dead disapointed, was hoping tonight would be the night!

That said my entire pelvic area and bump are REALLY sore when im standing up now, so the muscles have certainly been doing something!

 

[Momma`Kat]

Ok so damn typical.. as soon as I post that I get one LOL god I wish they wouldnt focus on my back though..

Going for a bath either way now

 

[Heulyn]

Sounds like a right to-do Kat
I think I'd die walking up and down stairs like that!
Hope it sorts itself for ya soon chick, and you get to meet baby

Enjoy your bath

Well I did kind of cheat.. I walked -down- 12 flights of stairs... then got the lift back up LOL

Worked wonders on my back, too bad it killed off contractions though.

Will remember that and try it if/when they start again amy thanks!

Haha! I wish I had a flippin' lift, 6 flights of stairs up to my flat!

Has your bath helped any? x

 

[Momma`Kat]

Well I went for bed at midnight.. am now awake again because was in too much pain to sleep.. Not sure if its contractions, or just general.. pain, either way cant sleep through it.

Also got up after feeling fluid running outta me (while layin down, before it was when standin up after it had pooled) sp im sorry midwife, i now do not believe you about it being discharge. its a leak. shush, you said yourself you saw it trickle, and i think you said it was discharge just so i wouldnt worry.

Anyway, have the midwife at 8:40 (Screw getting the bus at 8am!) for a sweep.. hoping it will set things off.. but have to say I dont much fancy the idea of being sat on the buss for an hour back having contractions lol! They might not hurt but damn people would notice.

And have just found out.. it is contractions keeping me up.. cause im getting one typing this.. somehow less painfull now that im awake and sitting up.. Hmmm was writhing in pain and whimpering a lil while ago in my half asleep state LOL

Anyway will let you all know how it goes.. im so tired though.. half tempted to call the midwife and go "Nu Uh, Aint goin into town, Screwwwww YOU!" cause everything hurts when im walking

 

[Momma`Kat]

Bah, no more actual contractions. Just a generalised pain.. Really doubting my ability to get into town for the midwife.

Was leaking more while sat in bed (Have a protector on the matress thank god) and there was blood there aswell so heres hoping.. Have stuck a pad on now and got up to watch STV Nightwatch.. Did have to freak out the presenter though..

Poor Des..

"Aaaaand Kat from Edinburgh...(Obvious pause while he read the rest of the message and paniced) ... In labour watching the show !? Wow Really !? Good luck with that!!"

 

[Momma`Kat]

Ok post overload lol, But I have nothing else to do.

Getting contractions again now, still stuck in my back which is horrid, starting to be a bit painfull.

8 minutes 38 seconds apart
12 minutes 43 seconds apart
10 minutes 10 seconds apart
14 minutes 04 seconds apart

and lasting :

1 minutes 08 seconds
1 minutes 15 seconds
1 minutes 04 seconds
00 minutes 44 seconds

I think i might be having smaller ones in between.. but not sure so not logging them yet. Will do if those twinges get more intense though.

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Hows things now? Are they getting closer?

 

[SKR_Derby]

How r u feeling now Kat? Are they getting more regular and are you still going to see the midwife?

 

[Momma`Kat]

Havent been timing them for the last hour, as went to try and get a little more sleep, managed to doze off between them, though they are definately getting stronger and more painfull, yesterday they pretty much disapeared when i was in bed, but were still coming pretty regular this morning, dont know, but dont think they are getting closer

I am still going to the midwife, but have roped my mother into taking me rather than having to trundle through town!

 

[indigo]

That's quite a trip to see the midwife, hope things are progressing for you so that you don't need to go. Good luck x
