[ASD123456]

I feel really rubbish today!!
I was up through the night, felt like I had a really bad hangover!! This morning iv had the runs and been getting crampy feelings.
My mum came past and first thing she said was "you look awful, thats things starting". Dont want to get my hopes up but I do feel really weird.

That all sounds very promising, I really hope this is it for you

Nothing Here again, I dont think I need to post updates anymore as I dont add anything. Moofa and Jodielou sounds like things are starting for you ladies. Alex I trhink i will definately be an overdue club next week

 

[Strangeness]

Feeling really weird today I don't think anything is happening but I just feel really yucky! I had a few period type aches in bed last night so thinking baby may be pushing down again. I feel like I have put on loads of weight the last few days though but my mum says I haven't, could just be me getting fed up of being heavy I can't stop eating though!!

Today i have woken up with period type pains and after having a shower i had a lot of snotty brownish mucus. Im hoping this is a show. What do you ladies think?

The period type pains have carried on until now and having quite a few braxton hicks.

Im exactly 1 week overdue so i really hope this is the start of things

Oo I think that is a show!

 

[Moofa]

Nothing to report but mild tummy aches and upset tummy again (probably related).

Did the Ironing, sewing, changed the bed, washing, found a wedding anniversary present (1 month in advance), and tidying up so not sure if that is me nesting!

If you know me then you would be surprised as I am not the tidiest person and hate housework but strangely reallly enjoyed ironing

Ok I am now dusting and cleaning the bathrooms!

 

[jennifer1981]

i hope you're right moofa. I would love to go naturally than be started off. Period pains have eased never thought id want period pains back so much!! Im gonna have a little bounce on my ball and see of anything progresses.

I think you are nesting Moofa. My friend went into labour last week and she had the sudden urge to clean all day

Just been for my term MW appointment, the baby is fully engaged at last

The HB was pretty slow today, between 110-120, but the MW didn't seem concerned about that???? My fundal height is only 35 weeks but I think that is own to the baby being so far down now.

I've a sweep booked for a week on Monday which seems like a lifetime away, please let me not need that appointment.

 

[xJodieLoux]

JodieLou- that defo sounds like your plug!!!!!!

It wasn't bloody though? And I haven't had any more since

My back has been killing all day, but now it's not period like, just back ache. Anyway, pumped my birthing ball up and sat on it for 20 mins and now my back feels so much better Keep getting these waves of feeling really sick. I really think I've had a good third tri, no complaints really up until a couple of days ago when all this started happening. I've got this feeling I'm going to go overdue though

Ooo I hired a tens machine yesterday aswell

YAY For baby being fully engaged

Really hope you don't need that sweep hun

 

[jennifer1981]

Alex - Brilliant news that the baby is fully engaged - wow!!! My LO is still only 2/5ths palable but MW said the first few contractions will pull it down. Dont be concerned about the baby's HR if the midwife seemed ok about it.

Jodielou - Iv been losing bits of brown stained mucus since yest. Apparently this is the plug. It can come out all in one or bit by bit and doesn't have to be blood stained. It sounds good for you with having back ache too. That's a really good sign.

My crampy period type pains have returned Hope they carry on and kick some meaningful contractions off.... i've never wanted pain so much

 

[Moofa]

We ordered curry takeaway - Rogan Josh for me, hope this works!

 

[JoAnn&Aimee]

A LOT of fanjita stabbings for me today. Some period like pains. Decided to get the bus over to my parents house today. There is a lovely big hill to walk up to get to my parents from the bus stop so I hoped the walking would encourage Aimee to get her lil bum out. It hasn't. Just the fanjita stabbings! I was aiming to get her out by Sunday, don't think it is going to happen!

 

[Sandi4Paul]

not really anything to report but wanted to bump this up.

BH have continued, also had a good bout of nausea lsat night and the trots on thursday, thought it might mean something, until OH said he had trots too, so must have been something i ate.

Have a pineapple to eat today and will go for as long as walk as i can manage. Tried for Rumpy Pumpy this morning, but OH wouldn't as he will be in London for the day, but he promised for this afternoon when he gets back. holding him to that.

Hi ladies, how is everybody today?

I feel alot better today, the odd period type aches and pains but nothing to shout about. I'm feeling alot of pressure down below and getting the odd 'fanjita stabbings', but still I don't think it's anything to get excited about.

Sandi... can I just ask about the pineapple? Is it supposed to set you off? Never heard of that one before

 

[Sandi4Paul]

Hi JodieLou, yeah it is supposed to help, but apparently you have to have heaps. There is some enzyme in it that helps it si highest in the core, so if you suck that it might help.

I'll do anything except the currie anyway.

Sandi

 

[Moofa]

Had period pains and the odd 'fanjita stabbings' (try explaining that to your DH when your out shopping)! but nothing else

 

[Laur_250]

Sorry to interupt here before my time, I like reading just to be nosey and see what happens!! I'm interested in these fanjita stabbings!!! Is it literally like a feeling of someone stabbing something up there?? Sometimes when I bend down to pick things up I feel like something sharps poking me up there and thought this description sounded like it??!! xx

 

[jennifer1981]

All my crampy pains etc have stopped.

Im starting to get really frustrated and upset today. I didn't used to understand people getting so worked up at going past their due date but i can completely empathise now im 1 wk 1 day over and every day feels like a lifetime.

Im try best to keep myself busy but im constantly reminded that i still haven't had LO yet.

I think im starting to get a bit worked up that im gonna have to get induced on tues too as i work better when thrown in at the deep end rather than know the date that things are going to be 'started'

Ah well... sorry for moaning girls, just needed to get some things off my chest xx
