For the last few days I've been having what I think are practice contractions, and last night I began getting regular contractions - every 40 mins or so, lasting for a minute at a time. Not too painful (well, at least I don't THINK they were too bad but I've had a lifetime of shocking period pains so I think I have quite a high tolerance....). It's all calmed down this morning, but I get the feeling it's the calm before the storm!! Or, I could be totally barking up the wrong tree!!
Getting excited!!! ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

Good luck!! Hoope it is happening for you. Just a warning though - I had painful braxton hicks contractions for about two weeks before having Taine.
sorry - my typos were annoying me. |

Yeah, I actually thought of you last night and remembered about that. I don't mind - at least I know "something" is happening. I would hope it will be at least a couple of weeks away - don't want my baby in NICU  ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

Ooooh how exciting!! Hope it happens for you soon Claire. I remember I posted on her two weeks before my due date with lots of niggles etc, but it was two weeks before Hannah arrived. Prob a good idea to finish a week early just in case - you really need to have a bit of YOU time before bubs. Good luck!! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Thanks everyone - well, it really is happening!! I had a 'show' just before!!! My M/W said it could still be up to 3 weeks away, so fingers crossed - that would mean just a little bit earlier than my due date and I'd be happy with that!!! ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

A show is when the mucas plug comes away. there is a little blood and is just basically gross, sorry tmi i know but there is no nice way of describing a show. I had my show and then had baby 5 days later and they were suprised it had taken so long.

I had my show and had Taine two weeks later. And it looked like (WARNING: GROSS IMAGERY AHEAD) after you blow your nose when you have a really bad cold. ( i bet that warning made most of you WANT to read ahead, rather than stop) I really hope you are not like me though Clare. ^*%()*(*&*&)& - baby coming dust!

Yes, we have internet at home - how would I cope without you girls I'm going to finish at the end of the week, assuming of course that baby hasn't arrived by then!!
