So have hit the 38week mark and feel as though I am experiencing that TWW we used to discuss when we were all TTC!! :doh:
- Have no idea what my body is doing,
- Have no idea what all these pains and aches and feelings really mean
- And can do fat diddly squat about it all right now, except wait :rolleyes: LOL!!
Anyone else here as well?!?! :redface: (oh and FYI, imo, the TWW feeling/syndrome can start anytime during pg! ;))
I hear ya LOL. The last two weeks is really hard because you know it is basically anytime from now. I usually go back the being a cronic knicker-checker looking for a show and over anaylising every twinge down there.
Its the worst TWW you ever have to go thru i reckon!!!
I'm with you. I always had a feeling I would go 2 weeks early - I guess not!
I feel like I don't want to make plans since I could be having the baby - which I course I haven't been. I only finish work today. I never thought I would actually have to work right till the end. I figured I would have had bubs by now.
With DS I watched for every sympton near the end and had nothing until I woke with the first contractions and they continued until I had him that day. This time, I had a show, I have had irregular contractions for some time and periods where they are 5 minutes appart and then stop. Now I am relaxing more since I know it is all a false alarm. The baby will come when it comes. When all this pre-labour started I thought it was the real thing.
:cryinglaugh: Sherie!!!!! I too am back having that love/hate relationship with the loo and my knickers!!! Un-beeeeeeeee-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-vable!!
MelH - I admire your relaxed position as I am thinking that a falsey would be more frustrating thinking it's the real deal and then it's not! :doh:
Don't worry - I haven't been relaxed. I think as of today I have just given up after so many false alarms. People have been asking how I am and I almost burst into tears every time.
I'm with you Charly! Now that all the aches and pains are more regular its driving both DH and I crazy with anticipation :D
MelH - oh! Am sending you hugs sweety!!:hug: I had a day of BH/contractions :dunno: but there is nooooooooooo way that I am going to let anyone know (apart from DH of course - although he was around to watch the fun - :doh: LOL!!!) I don't want people asking me more that what they already do! I even had SIL ring today and ask if I think that I am going to go sooner rather than later - at this stage, I'd really rather focus on everything else but!! Bit hard when a) your belly wobbles all the time & b) people keep dragging your attention back to thinking about when baby might make his or her appearance! :rolleyes:
Teepee2 - I know what you mean about driving you crazy - DH included! I twinge and DH turns and says without missing a beat, "Going into labour now?!?!" :D He even wanted me to ring his mum to get her to ensure her bags where packed and ready after yesterday's experience - hehehe!
LOL .. I never really thought that the last 2 weeks of pregnancy could be classified as the TWW!! But it would be the case wouldnt it.... DOH! Time to drive ourselves insane again with over analysing.
Atleast I am a few more weeks away from that TWW! :D
LOL Charly! According to my DH every little niggle I feel whether it be painful or not is a contraction and he immediately asks where my hospital is :cryinglaugh: Half the time he's still half asleep when he says it - like he's on auto pilot :D
I know what you mean! Counting those days, and worrying (or feeling excited) about every little twinge!!! Mind you, in my current situation, I'm not sure I want to go into labour before next Tuesday.
Before he goes to work, my husband asks "are you going to go into labour today?". My standard response is no, I don't think so!
i text my DH the numbers for the hospital & obs the other day so he can put them into his phone. He rang me back, panic, "Do i need to call them now?" I think somehow i will break the 'news' to him a little better then that :D
Feathertop - be thinking of you on Tuesday!
Oh my gosh the two week wait is going on forever!!! I have only four days until my EDD & had hardly any symptoms that indicate going into labor - no show - nothing. I am with you on the love hate relationship with the nickers! Going nuts with the EPO & RLT. The most I have had is one bout of BH. Does this mean I have a FWW (four week wait) LOL.
Hopefully not too much longer for all of us now. Many hugs & warm wishes to you all X
PS mum2bee I love your quote at the bottom of you signature - just beautiful!
Thanks Sarah, i read it in a book while waiting for DH at chiro. Thought it was nice.
After a deliberate looooooooong shopping trip in which the only loss was that of dollar value :D (no plugs, no gushing waters :D ) tapping her fingers impatiently, Charlyfrog sighs and says out loud to no one in particular, "*sigh* still here" :rolleyes:
*giggle, giggle*
oh no! maybe you will wake up during the night in labour due to all that work. best wishes! p.s still cant figure out what tww means!
nelliesbelly :) TWW = two week wait.
Mostly used in the TTC period, between ovulation and waiting for AF to arrive. (i think)
Oops I got the whole TWW confused... I pressumed it was the wait for bubs to arrive from 38 weeks LOL :redface: You can tell Im new at this!
:) you are right in this instance then.
LOL!! That's what I was trying to get at! That the TWW whilst TTC was hard enough but then to hit the 38week mark - it feels like the TWW all over again :doh:: its dragging, taking forever and there is nothing I can do to speed it up!!! :lol:
I hope some of you are off busy having your bubs.
After all my complaining last week bubs came last Friday (8th) at 6am. I woke with contractions at 12.30am and it all happened quite quickly form there. My waters didn't break until DS crowned.
I just wanted to say goodluck everyone and it will happen
Congrats Mel on the arrival of Tyler - Wow, and he arrived into the world very quickly!
Charlyfrog *hugs* Hang in there darl, it will all be happening before you know it! (:crossfingers: for you that your TWW doesn't turn into a FWW - FIVE WEEK WAIT like mine was...)! :)
Can't wait to read your happy announcement...
