When sitting up straight, my belly is resting on my thighs. Sitting in the car is highly uncomfortable too, as is walking!! I have another reflexology session tomorrow morning, hopefully Ramlet will decide to make an early appearance...ie late next week.
I just want to sleep too!!
OOeer - do you think you will make it to next week??
WooHoo...it's all happening for you Lucy-Ann cramping sensations,bub dropping,2/5ths engaged too isn't he/she ??
I'm thinking your going to have either a Christmas Eve bub or a New Years Eve bub...goodluck hopefully Ramlet will make his/her grand entrance shortly.
Yay!!! Hope you have him/her in your arms soon! Time for propper labour instead of this mucking around prelabour which just makes you knackered with no result. Good luck!!!
I had the most rotten night last night...couldn't get comfortable and my hips, butt and legs were aching this morning as well as a hellacious headache.
I went for my reflexology session this morning and she commented on how much Ramlet has dropped since she saw me on Monday. She said she wouldn't be surprised if I don't make it through the weekend in one piece. One can only hope!!
ooh it's getting exciting now. Come on Ramlet.
Sounds like bubby might be here to share Christmas with you on the outside world!!!
Very exciting...not long now, keep us posted!
OOOh you are making me envious mrsr!!!! I am 1day in front of you but I think you might pip me to the post. How exciting. Sorry you are so sore and not sleeping well but hopefully not for much longer. You know if you dont post on here regularly from now on we are going to assume something is happening!!!!!!!
Sazzafrazz....I'll race ya. Unfortunately, am still in one piece...ho hum. I guess the up side is that I'm saving my sister and BIL some cash by looking after my nieces from Mon-Thurs this week so maybe chasing them around will get something happening.
Good to see you are finding the positive there! And remember, the longer the prelabour, most likely shorter active labour so enjoy all those BH, pains and aches wont you lol. I am feeling very similar to you but have been so for days now with no change. Period pain on and off etc but I think I will go on the same way for quite a while. I think I dropped on the weekend but then again, I still cant breath when lying down etc and I thought that would change when the bump drops? Will see GP on Wed so find out then.... wonder if you will still be hanging around then?
I feel a bit "spacy" sometimes when even lying on my side...it's not the same side all the time either. I feel as though I can breathe a little more freely though. Am nesting this morning...eeek!!! Make it stop!!!
Did I hear nesting????? Hmm methinks your bubs isnt too far away now. Are you in a frenzy of nesting or just plodding along. I know for myself that I did a lot of nesting when I first stopped work but now there is no chance of nesting at all till "the time" hehe. I have turned into a sloth.
Try not to climb ladders to clean lights and tops of cupboards. That might be taking things a bit too far!
F-R-E-N-Z-Y - this is all happening while babysitting my 11 and 7 year old nieces as well as James today!
Oo Ah, I think you better have a rest this arvo because I reckon you might be having a wake up call in the early hours! Good luck hun :)
I've just had a massage with a lavender, clary sage and something else blended oil from the lady who I see every fortnight and in the last 45 or so minutes, I've had 4 strong BH - come on you little blighter - out!!!
Oh exciting, even sooner than I thought. Was the massage planned or did you just get it done now to hurry things along?
I am so envious!!! I bet I will go a week over.
It was planned from yesterday and she was always going to do up the blend for me and she has left some with me and suggested I try rubbing some on my tummy tonight prior to going to bed. If anything it's relaxed me quite nicely and I feel pretty good.
Ha! I bet I'll probably go a week over...
I'm still thinking bubs will be a christmas eve bubby..... that's only another 5 days away, goodluck!!!!
I'm going to give it a good talking to today and hopefully he/she will decide to make an appearance this Friday.
Fingers crossed for you Lucy-Ann,
It might even happen before then if things continue the way they are....goodluck i've got my phone beside me just waiting for your annoucement
Thanks Leah!!
I feel like I'm having continual BH - but no discomfort around the back as I did with James - he was posterior. If they are or aren't posterior, you still feel the contractions around the back as well don't you?
Lucy-Ann,
No you don't have to have back pain to be in labour, i personally think you are in the early stages of labour as we speak. I have a bad back (chipped disc) and i didn't suffer from any back pain at all during either of my labours.
OK...making a phone call to my midwife!!!
Ohhhh I got here just in time for the fun!!! Glad Ihavent missed anything....
Good luck Hun, not long now
Ok.....so what's the verdict Lucy-Ann ???
What did the midwife say.....she said "your in early labour" didn't she ?
Must be quite a discussion going on for this long...... maybe things are happening.
Good to know early I guess so you can get James organised too.... Does DH work close by?
Have a couple of Panadeine and put a hot pack on your tummy was the advice I was getting - could be and it may not be early labour. Am feeling some good pressure on what feels like my cervix when up and around - but of course, that's pretty normal isn't it?
Arrrrghhh....JUST COME OUT!!! :LOL:
I haven't noticed the BH so much since I've been vaccuming and mopping....hmmm, lie down on the couch and watch a movie or duck out and get DH's drycleaning??? Knowing my luck I won't go early.
ok so not definate then but a maybe? I guess if they keep going when youre resting you will know more.
Must be so frustrating wondering what on earth is going on?
I am having a scan tomorrow to see why mine isnt engaged yet as I am measuring 40weeks already. I might just beat you yet!
Oh well that wasn't very helpful of them was it.....i was told that if you have the tablets and the pains don't go away then you are in fact in labour(early labour for you).
Sazz, i had to have a scan with my second son at 35 weeks because he measured 4 weeks ahead of what he should of....don't worry to much alot of those measurements aren't really correct it just depends on how bubs is laying at the time. Goodluck.
Oh well, made it back home...had this awful vision of while I was out, of my waters breaking and gushing all over the place at the shops. That would be the pits. I did have a slush puppie while I was out and usually that would make Ramlet wriggle around - but there was very little movement.
Glad to hear you made it home in one peice Lucy-Ann.....
Mmm, i was worried about my waters breaking out in public too but then i thought to myself well i'm sure if they did i wouldn't be the first person who it has happened to and know doubt i wouldn't of been the last....just aswell i didn't though otherwise they would of had a ragging river running through the shops.
Maybe bubby's having one last rest before the big event!!!
So far...I'm in one piece...STILL. The big fella/sheila has been quiet again today.
I have heard too that some bubs to slow right down shortly before birth so you never know this is what your bubs may well be doing....maybe you should be doing the same!!!
I'm gazing at a washing basket full of dirty clothes that needs to be put on...really couldn't be bothered. Facebook is a priority!!
Lol, i'm with you on the facebook....it's becoming as addictive as BB
