Frustratedly Bored Waiting

[amberj]

LOL, EJM, I think you will know when you are in labour- maybe not early labour, but certainly established labour. I hear the pain is fairly compelling, and if its not, then, hey, lucky you!

I am currently freaking out about whether or not I am losing my waters. Its probably just watery discharge.

The thing I drive myself a bit crazy with in waiting in always trying to be well rested/ appropriately fed etc. I want to go out and do things, but I either don't have the energy, or I worry that I will wear myself out and then go into labour totally exhausted!

DH is suddenly concerned that i need to rest as much as possible in case I go in to labour and am too tired from walking etc - so he has told me I have to have at least one rest a day... there is not much activity I can do anyway - he has the car at work (although driving is uncomfortable anyway) and I dont like going for walks by myself anymore in case anything happens.

he's going to be funny when he starts his paternity leave. It is good though, because he does a lot for me, and he's just as excited as me!

Also he can help keep me entertained.. play scrabble or a card game so I dont go insane with boredom!

If it is your waters Yay!! and good luck!!

Eustacia, my advice to you is to enjoy the peace!!
You probably get told that a lot, i did too but life really never is the same when bubs arrives.
Enjoy doing what you want to do when you feel like doing it as you won't get that back for a very long time!
Having said that, being a mum really is the best thing ever and i don't think you'll have any problems with being bored when bubs does arrive!
