You have a while to go still. Take it easy.

Dont have any soluble paracetamol in the house I suppose using normal ones dissolved in water wouldnt work the same?

Don't think so...just take them and make yourself a hot drink and hold each mouthful over the hurty bit to kill the bugs, then. x

hugs supermaiden - it's rotten when you can't take anything but hopefully will go in a couple of days

Congrats to those who have had & best wishes to those in the middle of it at the moment! I am one down from the boldies, everyone seems to be overtaking me! 39+5 today due on sun 20th. Feeling like a beached whale, back is agony & as for those pressure pains I swear the head is half way down the tunnel & i've not realised!! had last midwife appt on monday and booked in next wed with consultant at antenatal, midwife says I will have a sweep then. Nesting instinct hasn't kicked in so the house looks like a mess & do I care - NO! lol. I keep dropping off so much I swear I am sleeping more than the cat & that's saying something!

advice on monitors anyone????

i have no clue - at first fancied a video one but after reading reviews not sure if the range would be any good if we're in the garden (supposing we get a nice summer lol) currently looking at the bt range which seem to have good reviews - anyone got BT?

p.s. This labour business is all so confusing, you get told to look out for all the signs, braxton hicks(i've not had any), looking for a plug, waters breaking etc, then get told you might not get any of these! Look for signs of backache yet I get that anyway. Help I realise I haven't got a clue & I haven't got much time left. Think I am having a funny 5 minutes of panicking !!!!!!!!!!!!!

your right I had no water breaking or plug with DS, but the backache was different. Low down and it came in waves. Same with the period pains. Mine didnt hurt for hours but I was aware of them coming and going. So dont worry you WILL know when it happens. Especially as it builds up.

dont worry about tidying etc, just enjoy all the rest and take it easy. Or go for a walk if you want to try and get things moving.
