Glenglen - A HPT should still show positive whether you're mcing or not so sadly that isn't of much use right now. I would call whichever of your medical people (GP or OB) who is the easiest to get a hold of. If not, call both. Try to relax tonight, and keep your feet slightly elevated (above your hip level) and keep your fingers crossed. Let me know what happens after you speak to your drs tomorrow. FX hun!

Melster - Yeah it's a tough situation. I don't want to take too much or even any painkillers... but I also don't want to have a headache every day. It's really horrible, and I am prone to headaches and migraines, so I've definitely had enough of them in my lifetime. FX af stays away for a long long time and you're utd this cycle! When are you testing and when is af due??

Dory - I've tried essential oils before.... never made enough of a difference to help and right now strong smells aren't so good! Massage seems to help, as well as cold compresses. I hadn't considered a chiro though..... interesting idea. I did visit one when i was a little girl because of a badly pinched nerve in my neck. Perhaps it's something to do with that?? I don't remember having a headache too but i was only 5. Maybe you're onto something! As for accupuncture, um.. no thanks, I don't like needles.. LOL. Just freaks me out the whole idea of it. Any action yet? I mean baby action, not ah.... other action LOL. You are very close. It's just wonderful to see you come so far. I really feel like all will be well, and all you need to do is keep your eyes on the prize. Don't ask me how though, I'm not that clever. Are you definitely having a cs? (sorry if I should know this one.. I'm struggling to think today) if not, do you have any coping strategies in place for labour? Just interested to know. I'm so excited for you hun, really I can't wait.

Clairesmummy - I hope you enjoyed your weekend away

AFM - Felt a definite baby thump earlier... it was amazing. Actually stopped me in my tracks because it was so obvious and well, obvious! I've got a thump in my bump! lol.. sorry I had to make up a stupid rhyme to go with it. Anyway, it was great to feel something and be sure it was bubs, and not a potential er... expulsion of accululated air.
