Today I have been feeling quite "off"
Have been since yesterday having the odd cramp, and feeling achy and blah Ive had a bit off what I think is my plug, a few small globs of stuff and some more runny stuff(sorry tmi). Today I have felt a bit sick and SO tired all of a sudden, I even fell asleep on the couch, which is so unlike me! Then tonight Ive had loose/runny BM's and that cramp tummy feeling(again tmi) Im getitng the odd twinge under my bump and lower back, but nothing that I can say would be a contraction... What do you think, sound like things *might* be gearing up??? ------------- |

Not that I would know as I was induced but it sounds like all the things they say can happen before hand are happening to you. My sister was exactly the same, and she went into labour later that night.
Fingers crossed for you! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Thanks Aimee
Its so hard to tell sometimes whats going on in there lol. Even as a second time mum Im still clueless lol! With Caden I was well over due and about to be induced when my waters broke, I didnt get any of this before him, just lots of flase labour! ------------- |

kate thats so cruel lol!
Nope didnt have any blood in it, but I remember my MW telling me that the show could be clear or have blood in it. With Caden the first one I had was clear, then when I was well into labour I had a "bloody show". ------------- |

Thanks deb, I hope so  I dont mind being pregnant for another 2 weeks, but I dont want to go over due, so that I can try for VBAC, other wise will be elective CS at 41 weeks *sigh*
Lisha lol, number one was very late, so am hoping number two will be at least on time ------------- |

You girls got me through that ordeal! I am printing off the threads for Cadens baby book, so he can read the comments when he is older ------------- |

Like I told you last night on FB chat , and like im telling you as we chat now (hehe ) you will be in full blown labour by 3 or 4 am at least, and she will be here tomorrow , afternoon at the latest .
Because thats what ive decided must happen ... and she'll be 8 pounds 13 . Because you asked me to be nice , so there you go , thats smaller than Caden -------------

Nothing exciting happening, went to bed cos a few of the cramps got sore, but they still wernt what I would consider regular or contractions.
One or two woke me up, but thus morning I feel pretty average. Am a bit achy in lower back and a bit crampy, but more of a constant cramp, so I think I have a few days or weeks to yet ladies lol ------------- |

I was quite sure Caden wasnt going to be a gemini.. i dont know why. I am just looking at the calendar and my eyes fell on August 13th, now that is 10 days away hun. For your sake I will adjust it to the 6th (but for the purpose of Sheza Watch I am sticking with the 13th).
Hmmm, I suck at weight guesses so again to be nice I will go nice a small... August 6th (13th) at 3.57pm weighing 7lb 14oz. -------------

I'm going to say 14th August, 9.50am, 8lb11oz.
Reason I chose the 14th is DH's nana wants me to have our girl on the 14th as its her bday so I thought it would be cool for us to have our ladies on the same day
And I'm going to be horrible and say that what you're describing happened to me from 27/12/07 until I went into labour in the wee small hours of the 7th Jan 08 (so nearly 2 weeks). I had regular (20-30 min apart, lasting 30-40 secs) contractions that even read as contractions on the CTG and the loose BM's for that whole time so it can happen, but if you're getting it now I reckon you'll have the baby out by the end of next week

I started getthing the loose BM's Saturday night, Im all good tonight though, but last night I went lots and had cramps and lower back ache all night.
Tonight I just have the lower back ache. I had this with caden aswell, so I have it in my head that she inst going to be here for ages lol ------------- |

Hmm my labour vibes cant be working then ill try sending water popping vibes instead (where is a ballon smiley when you need one)

hehe, was chatting to my midwife on facebook tonight and told her of my niggles and she said hopefully she will pop out in the next few days
I see my midwife on Thursday, so might ask about getting a stretch and sweep at 40 weeks or for her to chec and see if my cervix is doing anything interesting! I still think she will wait until right before or just after my due date, or go right over, causing me to have a CS lol. Im so positive huh! (Im trying not to get my hopes up this time you see)------------- |
