 Topic: Niggles...
Posted: 07 October 2005 at 1:37pm |
Hmm, just wondering if things are starting to happen. Have been getting a lot of period type crampy pains low down in my tum, and HEAPS of braxton hicks (well tightening that isnt painful or regular so I assume its BH). Am 38 weeks today and Doc thinks I will be early-ish. Bubs has dropped a bit too, needs to go lots further tho! Have also had a bit of an upset stomach.  Do you think everything is getting ready for labour? Hope so

Hope it is, but then again it could still hang around in there for weeks yet!  I have been trying to stay really busy - went for a walk and have done housework and baking to try and encourage it out! Am trying to tempt Murphys Law and have made lots of plans for next week, hoping to have to cancel them all!!

Yesterday my midwife told that the period painish cramps are a sign of the cervix softening so hopefully this means you will get to meet your baby soon I remember with my first baby I had the same symptoms as you are experiencing then the next day I got to meet my little girl. The best thing I found to help my labour progress was power walking aroud the block. It might work for but make sure you take a phone with you!  Goodluck!!

I had the upset tummy and period type pains the day before I went into labour with Maya at 38 weeks. So bubs could definitely be here soon!
Good luck!

i had heaps of braxton hicks with paris the night before... with Ayja i just had this weird weird feeling all the day before, but still went out and about and got every last little thing done! YaY Aimee, here's hoping it all gets going for you. keep active, yes, but also, get some rest if you can... you'll need it for labour. sounds like things should be getting going real soon for you.
oooh i love this part.. all the waiting for you to go into labour so we can hear about bubs and you!

What do contractions feel like? Woke up a couple of times last night with kind of period pain and tummy tightening - was quite painful.

sounds like they could be early labour pains. My labour pains with Alyssa were all in my back so didnt have that. But with Jayde my pains started off as little niggles like that and only got really bad and in my back 2 hours before i had her.

I've started to get a bit of a sore low back and that pain is continuing, but not too sore yet. Hopefully its on its way...
