 Topic: What were your pre labour days like?
Posted: 14 August 2007 at 2:48pm |
Ok, you probably have guessed that I am going insane with waiting and I have only just hit my due date. DH reckons I will go soon as I have been showing "signs" for a few days now. I'm not sure I have or that they mean anything.
I did have a major nesting thing happen on Saturday which was totally out of character.....but that hasnt carried on 
Today and yesterday i feel totally exhausted and want to sleep. I have gone off a lot of foods in the last day or 2.
I feel a little titchy...like PMT
Physically...not very much, no show, no waters breaking. Yes to BH but only at night. Yes to pain and discomfort down there if I walk around a lot.
So I ask....what signs did you have in the days leading up to labour????

So Danni, you felt completely normal and then within 6hrs you had James???
Thats kinda reassuring. I was expecting this long build up of things.

Yeah I had that discomfort, unfortunately for a couple of weeks, but I pushed and pushed myself to keep walking in hope that Kryssi would come early. Especially once I had a hindwater leak AND strep B and they starting talking about inductions eek! But she still wasn't to be hurried, although I am pretty lucky in having her arrive on her EDD not two weeks later like Miss Ella
The baby's movements slowed for the 2 days prior to labour, I didn't have diahorrea but was a bit more soft and frequent. Had heavier discharge for about 3-4 days before labour as well (kept on checking for waters trickling because it kept feeling a bit wet).
The sleep sleep sleep wish was just like that from 38 weeks for me.

What about baby's movements lessening? I've read that that is a sign of impending labour "babies movements seem less frequent"
Only thing is, this worries me!!!! Haven't felt bubs since around 7.30am this morning

Yup Daniel decreased his movement big time leading up, I had to go up to hospital to be monitored because I was only getting a couple of movements a day and MW just wanted to be careful.

I had felt a bit titchy and edgy both times, you know like you just can't sit still - you wanna ge tup and run around or something, but i tend to get like that when i am bored and sick of sitting or waiting anyway, With Paris i was gettinglotsof tightenings, had folded and re-folded and rearranged everything in her drawers, our rooms, the cupboards the labour bag.. a million times, and with ayja i had been sitting at home for 2 weeks beforehand then decided that day to go and finish off all the stuf fi needed to do in town and pick up paris from daycare, and walk all around doing stuff, made me feel not so bored and felt really good, then i went into labour that night.

The other thing to do with a non-moving bubs is take a cold drink of water then lay down for 1/2 hr. If you don't feel anything within that time, call your mw cause she can run the doppler over for reassurance.

Conor was induced at exactly 40weeks, I think it was the night before my due date... I just remember feeling anxious on the days leading up to it.
With Nyah I had a false alarm on the Monday; for the days after that, I could barely walk, I was really tired and slept the day away while Conor was at school. Then on the Saturday, I was doing the washing, and doing household chores etc. I had a few period pains, my waters broke at 3.30, and she was born by 4.30...

I was depressed. I cried my little heart out thinking I was never going to have my baby. I'd seen my midwife in the morning and she was sure I was going to be induced in another 10days. I ate a king size block of chocolate, went to bed at 11pm and woke 3hrs later with pretty bad contractions.

Do you know what station bubs is at?
Have you had a show? I didn't have a show until after my contractions started. I was so disappointed that I didn't have it days or hours before.

I showed no signs at all of going into labour. I was due to be induced on the Monday, and I woke up Monday at 5am with my first contraction.
I didn't even have a show until the midwife was rough with me while examing, and my waters had to be broken in labour.
My bubs decreased in movement a few weeks before birth.
