Dory dont be sorry about the selfish post sometimes we just need to vent and let everything out. Thanks for that info about the tightening, it sounds quite similar to what ive been experiencing but have had it happening for probably the past 6 - 8 weeks. I just assumed it was bub moving really close to the front IYKWIM
So its past 2pm so im assuming your little fur baby is home and hope the extraction went well and he/she isnt too sad. Also how did the ob appointment go? I hope you got the answers you were after.
Take care hun
