Hellobee Boards

@abmamma ahhhh! Fingers crossed that this is the real deal for you!!!

I just walked about 3.5 miles. Had to take a break halfway. I feel like my pelvis is going to split apart. I hope this does something, otherwise I'm going to be really mad I made myself suffer for nothing, LOL. I am having some painful contractions now, but nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Does anyone else occasionally get a tingling feeling in your boobs/nipples? I am guessing it's just the equipment getting ready to start working, but I have noticed it a lot more recently. I also occasionally notice a few little drops leaking out on my bra.

@FliegepilzHut: happy due date! Can't believe we both went early!

@abmamma: that's exciting!! will be watching for updates!

@MrsADS: good for you! DH and I try to walk our dog at least a half mile every day and I am hoping it helps! No tingling or leaking at all for me. Boobs are sore though.

@buttermilk: for you!! You've been having BHs though, right? Just completely non-painful or crampy ones? Pretty amazing that you've gotten to 2cm without any pains - maybe a good sign that labor won't hurt as much?? Not that I know anything but seems like that would be the case!

Been having Braxton hicks roughly every 10 mins apart while I've been sitting on the couch for the last hour. Don't hurt at all tho just tight. Think it means anything? Ugh why am I even asking!?

@buttermilk: It seems like your BHs are doing something to help your body progress! But I think it may not mean much in terms of immediate action until they actually hurt. My closest coworker friend said her early contractions didn't hurt at all, though, and my mom said the same thing. They both said it wasn't until after their waters broke, and that was when the contractions ramped up to a painful level.

I believe my coworker but my mom's memory is a little suspicious - I am her oldest and she has said I was 14 days early and then 10 days early and then 17 days early. Make up your mind, woman! Haha.

Ugh- having painful contractions every 4-5 mins. Went to hospital and got checked but only a 2-3. Walked for an hour and thought for sure I'd make some progress give pain level but they sent me home and toe to take a Tylenol and Benadryl and get some rest. I may have ugly cried for a few mins. Supposed to come back when water breaks or am 2-3 mins apart.

@abmamma: what mean nurses! Hang in there... Baby is on the way!

@abmamma congrats, wow that sounds like a crazy night you must have had!!! Welcome baby!

I need someone to talk me down from the crazy. I just feel like my belly is smaller this morning since I got up. I don't know. My husband says he thinks it looks smaller. I ran a few errands and of course had about 8 people ask "when are you due?" and when I said "in a week and a half" literally ALL of them started going oh you are so small, I would never have guessed you are so far along, blah blah.

I have been measuring behind this whole time and baby is fine on ultrasound. I'm assuming he probably just dropped a little more. My husband says maybe I should call the doctor. That's crazy, right?? I mean, I think I would feel dumb going just to say "I think my belly looks smaller." I don't know...

Edited to add: also this morning, I ran into the grocery store for like 10 minutes to get a few things. While I was there, I got a very bad wave of dizziness, like had to hold onto the cart. But it only lasted a minute or two. And I was really hungry so I thought maybe low blood sugar or something?

@Laurabear yeah, that's what my OB always says. So, I think unless I start feeling really weird or something is wrong I'll probably not call. It was just like all those people were messing with my mind!!

spiciest Chinese ever last night and it did a whole lot of nothing ha.

I was mega uncomfortable trying to sleep last night. Having a hard time taking deep breaths when I lay down and it seems like it's getting even worse. Also happens whenever I have a BH. Usually it settles down after a few mins of lying but last night I felt like it kept waking me up throughout the night.

Not sure how I will survive this wknd with nothing going on, just going to try and take my mind off baby. Like that's even possible.

@MrsADS: @buttermilk: it feels like it's just us but I know there are others out there! Maybe they aren't FTMs so are more patient??

Yes, good idea to do something this weekend you wouldn't otherwise. Besides dinner tonight with a friend, my weekend is empty. Decided I'm going to go to a friend's winery bday party on Sunday even though I originally wasn't going to go since not drinking at this point is torture But definitely would be a pain to do with a baby so bring on the date nights and going to the movie nights...

@buttermilk: fingers crossed!

@buttermilk: oh man! I'm not sure, as I was induced... Keep timing them, and follow the 5-1-1 rule before calling your midwife! Hopefully this is it and you aren't doing this for another week!

I've been following the boards but haven't posted in a while. So happy for all you mamas who have had healthy and beautiful little ones! I'm 1 week away from my due date and feeling so ready.

Has anyone else felt more nauseous than usual? Agh.im so nauseous after eating. Not dilated at all. Second baby ! My first son came 2 days early... So ready to hold this little guy in my arms !!!!!

@buttermilk: I'm not sure about the false labor vs. early labor except for the obvious progression. But period-like cramps sound promising in any case! Hope you are progressing!!

@buttermilk: Walking made mine fizzle out! When I was in the hospital they had me walk around and they went from being very close together to like 7 or 8 minutes apart. They had me sleep for a couple of hours and they went back to less than three minutes apart. Lay down on your side maybe... that's what worked for me.

@mommygrace: welcome back! I haven't been feeling nauseous but have had some diarrhea the last few days so my stomach hasn't been feeling the best. Still two weeks til Edd for me!

Any babies want to be born today? It's a great day!! Just sayin...

@Mrs. J: Haha, is it your birthday or something? Sigh August 17th sounds like a great day! But like @MrsADS: nothing is really going on over here except for the same crampy BHs I've had for a week. Pelvis is feeling achier than before but I also did a lot of walking and house work this weekend. Little guy still needs to bake a while I think!

@Mrs. J: happy birthday!!
