Is it Contractions?

Oh how exciting bubs is on its way.
I know its difficult especially with your first, i only had braxton hicks once but its totally different to labour,you'll know when your in labour and dont let the midwives tell you your not if you think you are, sometimes its hard to explain the feelin so they think its pre-labour but if you really think its labour go in.
Good luck :hugs:

thanks guys - DH works an hour and a half away, so I'm nervous to make the call for him to come home without really being sure. But I think i'm going to go with the intensity of the pain - once it gets more intense I'll call him to come home (he's only home on weekends).

It is exciting to see you guys say I'll be holding bubs soom - is this all really happening? does that sound wierd?

we're really going to have a baby soon aren't we? OMG!?!?!?!

Hi Mel,

This all happened today - before that there was not much happening at all. Got excited this morning when I saw 'the show'. But still can't believe that it might be happening. Am i going into denial or am I just used to reading about everyone else that you never really think it's actually going to happen - I'm not making much sense huh.

wonder if the full moon and a stormy night really does mean anything? but derr it is my due date.....but how often does bubs really come exactly on due date?....can you tell I'm extremely confused at the moment? is the not thinking straight all a part of it? i'm losing the plot......slowly but surely?!?!??!

Jules - to quote my OB "they won't stay in there forever".... lol

So bubs will come when good and ready... but I've read the more pre labour you have, the shorter your labour is likely to be... so thats a good thing!!!!
Try to relax, have some peace and quiet and time to yourself before the silence is interrupted by screams.. LOL

thanks Mel

have been reading up on the July BB thread - heaps happening there. Say hi and good luck to the girls - I don't know everyone that well and feel like i'd be intruding a bit to just bring myself back in at this late stage. I'll still keep looking in every now and again.

Off to have a shower and then settle in for a bit of telly, cup of tea, and choc coated scotch fingers.

thanks again
