Period pain/ligament pain/baby engaging? How is it that I have no idea? LOL

[Janie]

Thanks Div! Yes, consistent growth is GOOD! Although we had to explain to the ILs that the problem hasn't gone away as they thought, just that consistent growth means bubba gets to hang out in utero longer Gunning for 34 weeks now

Was woken by cramps just after 11.30pm last night . With some lower backache too. I tried to stay in bed and ignore it, but I was obsessing over all the things that needed to be done. So I got up and did some nesting LOL, and was eventually marched back to bed at about 1am by DH (I hadn't told him what woke me, wanted him to sleep). It had all died down again by then, thank goodness. Just feeling very achy in my pelvis this morning, which I'm sure is totally normal third tri stuff. Had to call my Ob this morning anyway, and mentioned to his receptionist that I would talk to him on Wed about this prelabour stuff. She freaked and said I could go in today, but I declined.......I'm on my own and want to sit on the couch all day! I assured her that I know I'm not in labour , but she said she would get him to call me later on.

So I'm thinking that I'm starting to get to know about prelabour LOL!!! Thanks for all your advice ladies

Hi girls, thanks for checking Had some niggles during the evening yesterday, but fortunately nothing overnight! My Ob called back, I briefly explained that I had scared his receptionist LOL, and that was why he was calling me! We had a chat about things, CTGs and the like, and I told him about the cramps. I said I knew that it was something that could go on for awhile.........he kind of said "well, it can" in a way that made me think that he thinks it possibly won't for me. So he wants me to watch things over the next day or so until I see him, and I might have a shot of steroids tomorrow and then some more on Thursday.

Soooooo, we wait and see some more! I'm really, really hoping to get through at least another 10 days, for a variety of reasons Anything beyond that will be a massive, massive bonus!

So glad that things have settled down. Sounds like you have a caring OB.
Try and rest as much as you can

Hi hun, I really hope that bubs hangs in at least a few more weeks for you! I've also been experiencing period like pain and sometime having a full day of BH, usually when I overdo it. Make sure that you sit and take it easy please!!!
Take care
