^ Yeah I'm pretty sure my DD was posterior throughout her birth, OH MY GOD the pain my back with her...!!

Thanks again for the replies ladies Still nothing as yet... but one more question for you experts
Actually, 3 questions.

1) A friend of mine who is due said the other day that her baby was still kicking heaps - which I took to mean that labour wasn't going to happen for her any time soon. Is this true? Does bub stop moving around/kicking/sticking limbs out etc before labour, and if so, how long before labour starts does bub usually do that?

2) I had an antenatal appt yesterday and the doctor mentioned that he would probably see me before my scheduled appt next week (3 days before my due date). I asked what made him say that, and he said that my blood pressure was slightly elevated compared to normal (I have shockingly low blood pressure all the time and he said it was now in the 'lower end of normal' range, so quite high for me), then handed me back my book and said goodbye lol (he hasn't got the greatest English and can come across as quite blunt at times). Again, is this true? Does elevated blood pressure indicate labour isn't far off, and again, what kind of time frames are you looking at if it is true?

And 3), I had a nap earlier and ever since I woke up and got DD out of her cot (actually, *she* woke *me* up, but that's neither here nor there lol), I've been feeling really dizzy, sick in the stomach, and a bit *tingly*, if that makes any sense. No headache or anything, I've been drinking heaps of water today and had a sleep so I should be feeling quite refreshed (oh, and I actually ate lunch today so I should be feeling *awesome* instead of miserable like I do when I forget to eat lol), but instead I just want to go and sit under a hot shower and throw up? Again, does this indicate labour? A friend of my mum's told me once that she didn't know she was in labour because the contractions were making her throw up and she thought she had a tummy bug or something, I mean I'm not having contx but was wondering if feeling really nauseated and dizzy means something is happening/going to happen soon??


Lol thanks guys... I didn't go into labour with DD, and my mum didn't go into labour with either my brother or I (c-secs for both of us) so she can't tell me anything hahaha and I haven't got a clue myself!! Just wondering if anybody out there can sort the old wives' tales/myths from the truths and shed some more light on things for me. Thanks in advance!!
