    Congratulations Luella xxx

    I don't know whether this is a silly question or not but what do Braxton Hicks feel like? I don't know whether I have had any or not. Also if I am not having them does that mean the things are behind and I am likely to be overdue?

    VickyVics, I was wondering this too! Everyone keeps asking if I have had them but I really have no idea!

    I think if you had them you'd know what they were - with my first (sorry TMI) I had them after we had sex more or less every time and it became quite painful to the point I was avoiding it (afterwards not during...just to point that out) He was two days early.

    With my second I didn't have BH all the way though and he came 2 weeks early.

    Everyones body is different - every pregnancy is different, it means nothing to not have them :-)
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    Braxton hicks - I have only had during this pregnancy - not my first. I was a week late, but I don't think that was a factor. They just feel a bit achey / tight / like mild cramp around my bump and for me it has been one side or the other not all over.

    I'm 34+4 and I haven't had Braxton Hicks either - or leaky boobs.

    and thank you very much everyone for the birthday wishes, I had a lovely day. back to work tomorrow!

    been out and about and grabbed a few baby bits today, I'm going to have to ban myself from next and I'm hopefully not going to buy any more clothes until she's born now but it's so hard to resist!

    Well ladies, time for me to join you if you'll have me! I'm now 24 + 5.

    Due on 16th July team yellow. if someone could add me when the list is updated i'd be grateful. I've been lurking for ages and have worked my way from trying to conceive upwards!

    Just got back from a babymoon in Mexico which was amazing. Congrats to all those who have recently given birth.
