Mmm sounds like those pains i was having yesterday. Could be early labour pains for you :-D

Gee_G

no, wouldn't describe it as a sharp pain betsie as it just felt like twas all over pelvis and couldn't sit up. Might pop in for a shower n all just incase ha ha. Wanna be prepared!!
Baby is wriggling like a worm here since it!
I would love if it was but jesus i'd be petrified at same time :-D

Hey girls, the heat has me smothered. House is up in a heap. An electrician here putting in new oven and has to relocate i,t and put in new plugs etc, my living room is full of kitchen furniture and I am kinda pinned behind it.

Just to give first time mums an idea if they are starting ( this is just my experience)

When I had my daughter I got stomach pains that felt like food poisoning, just crampy and nauseous , I thought it was takeaway I had. I was in denial, I went shopping and even to the cinema, v uncomfortable!.
Then they turned into period pains that would not go away for few hours, waves of pain in my lower back and tummy that came and went. They stopped and i had a good nights sleep, they came back stronger the next day. they continued to get worse throughout day.

I kept walking all day and I think this is key. It was the next day when I could'nt handle it anymore I decided to go in to admissions, when I got to hospital I was 5 cm . My waters had to be broken at 9cm and i never had a show.

Gee_G

thanks for that tishandy, gonna keep an eye on these cos lower back has been crampy too so will see.
How did ur interview go??

Betsie_xr3i

that's a great bit of information tishandy thanks so much :-)

i know what you mean though gee g petrified haha :-) good idea to have a shower even with the heat anyway you will feel better after it

Gee_G

as soon as it passed betsie i started crying and couldn't stop! I think its just after waiting for it for so long and its all just been talk and then boom it becomes reality :-D

Betsie_xr3i

i know the feeling its very easy to talk about it but every pain is like uh oh is this it, is it not

Gee_G

Ye i know, its bloody mad. Wel i'm getting little pains down there now but nothing as bad as earlier so wil just take it easy and see.just had to have big glass of milk AND some icecream, bloody heartburn is crippling me!!

pushkii

Thanks Tishandy its good to know what to look out for! Are the pains still coming gee g?
Went quickly to the shops bought 3 pineapples two boxes of raspberry tea and castor oil. I don't want anything to happen over the weekend but ill have them for next week or the week after just in case :-)
Also bought gallons of ice cream :-P

Gee_G

do ya just get the tea in supermarket?
Ye little niggles down there but same as what i always kind of get! And back still a bit. So just keeping an eye now.
You'll turn into a pineapple pushkii :-) ha ha.

pushkii

Ha ha I know i have them sunbathing on the windosill to ripen them :-) i have to get the tea in the health food shop can't find them anywhere else.
I met my aunt today and she said that its a good sign if you are getting pains in the back:-)

Betsie_xr3i

your some woman for the pineapple pushki :-) be careful with the castor oil it can make you sick

i was just told to watch a really sad film and to have a real good cry, can bring on labour too apparently, i think people are making things up now haha

pushkii

Ya betsie i said id get it and only try it if im really desperate in a week or 2
That is gas betsie about the sad film ive never heard of that one before!!
The notebook always gets me or marley and me :-(

Betsie_xr3i

marley and me kills me, i do be almost wailing watching it, i just put on ps i love you and had to turn it off not in the mood for crying really x

Gee_G

honest to god girls, ya'd wonder bout some of the stuff people will be telling ya!
If Ye are in the mood for a giggle, goole old wives tale to tell sex of the baby... That'll surely put ya into labour but crying with laughter :-) not sure if i've said that before but i laughed and laughed reading them, ridiculous!

pushkii

Ya you do have to be in the mood for sad films alright. Had to stop eating the pineapple my tounge started bleeding :O

Betsie_xr3i

feck pushki you need to stop eating them for a few days anyway i would say

Rose35

Thanks Tishandy for the tips, its good to know, im so scared to be honest.
Iv heard pain in back lower back is a good sign, heard that most from women in the know.

Absolutely nothing happening here and im so emotional, crying at least little things, and it hasnt brought on labour so
id rule out that old wives tale.

Pushki, iv tried the pineapple too, did absolutely nothing for me.

pushkii

Ha ha betsie think i went overboard alright :-) are you still getting pains gee g?

Gee_G

no, had a nap n nothing since :-( back is still niggly though but dunno if its anything!
Ye pushkii, maybe give them a break for a while :-)

pushkii

Ya ive them hidden out of sight i bet ill have nightmares tonight with giant pineapples coming to get me!!
Rose no wonder you are feeling emotional, when are you back at the hospital?
Gee g niggly pains are good ;-)

Betsie_xr3i

at least you managed to have a nap today Gee G do you some good


pushki ill be waiting to hear about your dreams now tomorrow haha instead of "james and the giant peech" it will be "Pushki and the Giant Pineapples"

Gee_G

ha ha, that gave me a good giggle!! Poor pushkii will be afraid to shut her eyes :-) just settling in on front of soaps with another bowl of icecream and a big box of rennie ice, this is my first time trying them. Not bad!!

Betsie_xr3i

no they are not bad and i find they give a bit of relief quicker then the fruit ones wouldnt mind some ice cream myself

pushkii

ha ha betsie you made me laugh out loud there!!:D
Right im going to get myself some ice cream too

Gee_G

i've never tasted fruit one's, just the normal mint one's! Its just not letting up at all!
Ye icecream is the job, only i cheated and had smarties in it ;-)

Betsie_xr3i

the fruit ones are grand, but sick of taking them full stop :-)

tishandy

Im on the ice cream bandwagon too, just had a snickers ice cream now onto a magnum almond.

pushkii

mmm.. smarties and ice cream..
just had honeycomb in a cone with a flake
Girls just think of the binning cermony ye will have with the rennies and gaviscon when bab arrives
I got rid of my many half drank bottles of gaviscon a few days ago I swear the smell of it in the kitchen after i washed it down the sink :eek:

Betsie_xr3i

oh my local shop will go out of business when the baby comes haha
