hi ladies, bumps and LOs

this is my first bump and i am due 27th july
however i always thought that she would come early - prob will be late now haha!
for the last few days, mainly at night i have been having shooting pains in bottom of bump, baby was 3/5 engaged last thurs, but i think has moved back since then
last night the pains were quite bad for a few hours, and everything felt a little loose - like how id imag just before waters break, they died down and then restarted on and off again all afternoon, feel quite sicky and not fancying food, and tonight it feels like period pain

just wondering is this something that just happens around now and i should just get on with enjoying last bit of time just us or should i be thinking that things are getting closer??

any advice ladies who've done this before?

cheers!

BE ate my reply........grrr

I think the pains are your little girl getting ready to come meet you, but she could still stay like that up until 42 weeks im afraid...but chill out and enjoy the time u have before she comes!!xxxxxxxxxx


such bad advice im sorry :lol:

Have done this twice before but was induced both times so not sure I'm gonna be very helpful! But didnt want to read and run.
Sounds to me like you could be close but then sometimes this stage lasts for a while, sorry thats not very helpful at all!!

no i guess i need to hear that if thats what it could be or every twinge i'll have my hopes up!!

thanku!!

well in my experiance.....which has only been once......and im no midwife.....lol......is that shooting pains in ur lady bits or up ur bump - for me- was the aches and pains of sam being engaged....period pains are a great sign though!!! it wont be long at all dont worry, u will be holding ur little girl very soon. worst pains for me is when sam was fully engaged (day my waters broke and day i was induced) i couldnt bend over from the pain and took me about 10 mins to sit down on the loo lol. there is also trapped nerves too and then there is early labour which im hoping is happening to u xxxxxxx

hiya hun your bump buddy here! Ive been having exactly the same thing for the last week! I feel like my hips are going to snap in half! Saw midwife last tuesday and baby was still sitting at the brim of my pelvis am really hoping that when I go next tues shes going to tell me shes started to engage. Have you got a gym/birthing ball? Ive found bouncing on that and rocking my hips helps a little with the back pain as does leaning on it and stretching your back out. I guess we are both just getting closer to B day and our bodies are preparing themselves for it I have a nasty feeling im going to go to 42 weeks though even though i always thought she would be here sooner!

hi guys
amky - welcome to our little 27th july club - louisa there's someone else due same date too?

well the pains have gone - boo - went shopping and felt sure they would carry on today if not strengthen, but no - disappeared!! boo! altho we did set the birth pool up earlier, it looks so inviting but a little on the large side for our living room - i am determined to leave it up to try to entice her out though

i've also got the feeling im going to go over...so don't want to be induced!!

louisa - you all ready now? how was your last day at work?
