Morning everyone!

Another of my school friends had her baby yesterday evening.
She got into hospital and the baby arrived 10 minutes later. No time for pain relief but she said this morning that she feels better for it.

It was her 3rd baby, but here's hoping my first is just as fast in getting here! lol

Not sure Winnie, what do the instructions say? Sometimes some things just disagree with people, and strong painkillers can make you feel really funny.

My ex mil was given Tramadol recently and spent ages wondering why she was so ill, she really wasn't herself at all, she's quite active usually and always on the go, and it really knocked her for six. When she realised it was that she stopped taking them and was fine (albeit in pain)

Just goes to show that sometimes the side effects of the treatment can be worse than the problem!

The instructions just say don't drive (which I can't because my legs don't work) and don't drink alcohol (chance would be a fine thing) but I asked Dr Google and on wiki the list of side effects describes what's been happening to me since last Thursday morning perfectly. So the cocodamol has gone in the cupboard and I'll go back to teeth gritting

I was given tramadol for something a couple of years ago. Magic stuff, didn't feel a thing for days - mainly because it knocked me spark out for about 3 days :rotfl:

i am sooooo uncomfortable i could cry, not in a painful way, i think i am carrying ALL baby and stand or sit makes no difference, there is always some body part of baby squashing against my insides! i want her out now, got 3 days til i'm due but the thought of going another 10 days past that (which i did last time) really depresses me!
i know she'll only come when she's ready and theres really not alot i can do about it but by god i can moan!!!!!!
i know people are excited to meet her but i'm fed up of the calls, texts, writing on facebook asking if anythings happened, i am one miserable cow today.

I feel really good today me and OH just had a massive argument and strangely I feel alot better. We're going out to cinema and Pizza Express, so I'm a happy girl, I get to stuff my face.

Hope all are well, and bumps are planning on making an appearance for the boldies! xx

aww twinkle big hugs. Hope you start to feel a bit more better soon, I'm hoping i wont get many texts/calls to see if baby has arrived as everyone should be too busy with Christmas!!

I'm 22+5 wriggler is now more active then she was at the weekend. Got the routine appointment with the midwife tomorrow just wondering if any1 knows if i will listen to the babys heartbeat?
I sometimes feel like i can feel the baby but at the back at the womb and it feels like i'm farting (but im not:o!) could it be the baby? I need to remember to ask my midwife what blood group i'm in.

Im a miserable cow today too dont worry about it:D:D:D

I know what you mean though people constantly asking how you are , any signs - feel like saying !!!!!! off and bother someone else - have you noticed that people comment on your weight a lot? Why do people think its fine to say something because your pregnant?!!!:mad::mad::mad: boils my blood - i know if i put on weight and i wasn't pregnant nobody would say anything to my face!

Does anyone know if the symptoms I was talking about yesterday could be a side effect of co-codamol? I only ask because I started feeling sick when the hospital starting giving it to me and yesterday I threw up all my tablets and didn't take anymore and now I'm starting to feel better? Just wondering if that could be why I've been so ill.

Everyone in RL is fed up of hearing me whinge so I'm afraid I completely offload on here - glad I'm not the only one though!

Piggers - package arrived yesterday, thank you! Its absolutely perfect!

Labour vibes to all the boldies and anyone else who wants them! xxx

Glad it is suitable... Just need to get rid of the other 6 cluttering up the place then I can start shifting my fabric stash...

Cocodamol is known to cause bizarre side effects in a lot of people.. codeine is actually a cough suppressant and causes massive constipation...

I am hard core.. I can take anything.. but in winter when my arthritis is bad I live on painkillers and anti inflammatories anyway.. have done for years.. which also means I have a really high pain threashhold.. so imagine how bad it is for me to be moaning about this pain.

Bless you Twink, you sound like i did a couple of days ago. I've kept a log and i'm only up to 4 people ringing/texting/facebooking re arrival, surely people know we will let them know when something happens. I knwo what you mean about waiting as well. I'm due Friday and can't bear to think about going overdue to induction on the 14th!

Try to keep smiling and if not then get some choccy and have a good cry:)
