OK, I feel like a stuck record - "they could be real" "they might not be real" "they could be real"....well, I think they might be real this time - even if I am a long way off!

Still not terribly painful - some are like bad period pain, lasting maybe 30-40 seconds, like I'd expect my period to start any minute, some are just a coming and going of achyness rather than a contraction as such that I can pinpoint a start/end to. The last painful one gave me a show though when I went to the loo - yuck! I'm trying to time them but I think I only get the really painful ones every 20 mins/half an hour and I haven't been timing the achy bits.

Also, when I had a nap earlier, my underwear was a bit damp when I woke up (tmi I know) but doesn't smell of much and doesn't look like discharge so not sure if I've sprung a slow leak It was like that this morning but I didn't really think much of it but that's twice it's happened when I've lain down for any length of time. I've stuck a pad on and I'll call the unit if that's the same in a while.

Could I please have some speedy/quick/painless labour vibes!?! I don't much fancy this going on for days...

ETA - x-posted with fernlie - Hope we both manage to get off the bold list soon - good luck with the results of the sweep

Thanks Fuzz and Fernlibee think must be getting bigger and squishing things up. Isn't too bad, feels like have eaten too much in a way. Can't believe this is the last 3rd for me!!

Good luck Fernlibee and Esio.

Help!! Feel like I can't breathe as got massive pressure on my ribs. I'm just gone 28 weeks, would bubs be that far up by now??

My bump is all up by my ribs... in fact it might as well be a third boob!!;):rotfl: I've been in agony with pains all under my boob area where bubs has been for weeks. Head is "right down there" so I've got a long baby!

This hot weather isn't helping with the breathing situation:(

Bubs is being quiet but I think I've felt enough movement to be not so worried now.

Well Esio... you've got a few more hours left to have a bday baby!!;)

Fern... hope you're sweep does the job!!

OK Rach??? I did what you told me to:p:)

esio good luck hope it speeds up soon for you x

fernlie hopefully the sweep will get things started x

I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow at 16+6, I've loads of questions so I'm going to write them all down tonight when I'm at work otherwise I'll just get over excited at the appointment and forget them all. I had my GTT on friday but I don't think the results will be back just yet, apparently they write to the gp with the results so just have to wait to hear from them.

Esio.. sounds like you might be getting somewhere.. albeit slowly.. I suggest you go have some food.. and go for a mooch.. and if you DO decide to go up to be checked at the hospital demand a sweep.. seriously.. it will hurt like bejeepers but will help!..

fernliebee

Thanks for all the labour vibes.

Getting definite twinges now that I haven't had as yet, so it's changed something, however doesn't mean much at this stage so I will just keep my fingers crossed and my legs uncrossed and hope!! I'm bouncing on my ball as we speak! I had these kind of twinges for about 5 days with DD but hoping as it's my second that it'll be quicker than that- no guarantees though- meh! Just more of the waiting game!

Esio- huge labour vibes for you, sounds as though things are getting a shift on! Wooo hooo! Speedy, painless vibes for you too. Oooh happy birthday too!

Had really bad BH tonight it was very painful. Also went a bit mad at OH as I felt so groggy. I was just annoyed as he expected me to cook as soon as I got in from work and he had been sat on his backside all day! Felt bad for shouting at him. Gota do some housework now, got antenatal class here tomorrow night so I want the house to be clean. Any ideas what the class will involve?

Esio and Fernlie - I hope this it for both of you. Sounds promising anyway!

Smartie, I can totally empathise with the 3rd boob thing, although mine likes to stick its butt as far out under my rib as possible. It looked like a wedge of cheese earlier, goodness knows what the hell bubs was up to in there. The left hand side was huge and round, and the right hand side was really long and pointy.

Kitkat, sounds like he deserved a shouting at, so I wouldn't feel too bad. Good luck with your antenatal classes though. I think they cover things like breastfeeding, breathing techniques, and baby safety.
