Yep it sucks, happened during my pregnancy sometimes its so bad you actually thin your in labor and get sent home(walk of shame!)

good luck I cant wait to see your lil m&m(pics)

it wasn't really painful. It was just extremely uncomfortable, it felt like a band of pressure on my stomach and back and I felt "heavy/achy" in my pelvic bones. I thought like I said that I had eaten something bad and I truly felt like I was coming down with the flu. I hope it doesn't get any worse than that because i'll be a super b*tch if I think i'm in labor, go to the hospital and then get sent home... :evil:

How far along are you?

I've got 6wks 3 days to go. So 33 wks.

uggghh...Don't even go there I had a lot of painful braxton hicks and farkin heart burn this past few weeks and I felt like bashing my hubby's head :evil: if he starts talkin to me. Finally my mucus plug came out 2 days ago and i'm still havin few spots of blood which midwife said hopefully would start up labor. 38 3wks today

God that sucks..It happened to me the whole week before I had jace and I seriously went to the hospital everyday...Which was 40 minutes from my house...And they always sent me home ..No medication..No baby ..I was ticked..So finally when the day came I was so excited..And so ready for him to come out!!!!!!

I can't wait for all of this to happen to me. It sounds like so much fun.....Oh wait....I can't go into labor. I am soo happy that I won't have to go thru all of this. Ack

Don't worry or let it upset you, this happens to a lot of pregnant females that is why my 1st son was on it's way out when the time was happening, he did not believe me but the dr sure told him off it was even too late to give me anything for pain until I was being stitched up after having a 10 lb 2 oz baby boy.
Try to get some rest!

How frequently would you guys say it happens? I'm trying to get a clue about what i'm going to have to go through. The doc is saying that it can keep happening or not until I go into real labor. Which could be anytime. I have to go in for an appt today to check on m&m and I have to schedule my next ultrasound. I'll try to schedule it for next week...

sunflower if I didn't love you i'd be jealous! :lol:

I am glad someone does, I am not feeling too loved lately. I would really like to experience all of that stuff. But I need to do what is the best for me and the baby.

I hope everything goes well for you.....I only wish you the best. But I heard .B.H. Are a health forum. I guess I will get to find out when I get closer to the big day.

Luv you too. :wink:

Trust me you don't want this. You simply can not concentrate on anything important and you turn into super b*tch. I feel like I should have an "s" on my chest or something. I don't like anyone that I have to deal with in person right now. Least of all my doctor because she's the one who told me that there's nothing to be done about it. And I still have to work... :evil:

I have heard that they dont' really hurt but they are just really crule to the pregnant woman. It's not bad enough that we have this really large skoot in us and we are very heavy and tired and we don't need false labor. Not too much longer for you.....But I am sure that it sounds like an eternaty. I have like infinity left to go.. It will all be fine.

I can't wait to see ur little m&m.

this may sound like a health question question,but what is the difference between false labor and real labor.I know a false you wont actually have the baby but you still have contractions???? : ?

i think it depends on the person. Medical books say that they don't hurt. But what the heck do they know. I've had some people tell me they hurt like crazy. For me they don't really hurt, they are just extremely uncomfortable. It feels like I have an elastic tube around my middle and the tube is getting tighter and tighter. Not really pain, just very uncomfortable pressure. Plus the baby (or my adbdomen or whatever) feels very heavy. Like a weight is going to drop. Warm baths help. Sometimes water helps. Getting up when i'm sitting (or vice versa) helps too. I feel okay today though. My doc thinks that I keep getting them bcos i'm overtired, overstressed or overworked (they keep happening in the afternoons). I can't wait for this to be over! Hurry up m&m!

I got my cradle today. I'm going to take it home with me to refinish. I'm wondering what color I should do. It's an oak finish. Should I strip it and refinish it with the same color or should I go natural or white? The baby's room (when it's actually finished) will be layette blue (dutch boy) with white trim. All of his picture frames are white. But his bookshelf is oak finish. I have a desk in his room too, and it's oak finish as well. But I could just as easily refinish everything another color... What do you think, genipher?

Hhhhhhmmmmm, I would keep every thing one color like the oak or the white. I like oak colored furnature so I think you could strip it and go with the oak color again. But if you really feel like it you can strip everything and do a white finish and just acent the room in white. But that way sounds like a lot of work to me. Just to strip the changing table took forever, I started to get really faint and dizzy, so make sure the room or the place you do it in is very well ventalated. You don't want to be inhailing in all them damn fumes.

For a boy I would do the blue with the oak color, so I would go with that. Like my baby's room is lavendar with a natural wood finish. So I do like the lighter for a girl and a darker for a boy. But it's totally up to you. What color are you doing the bedding?? Blue too?

Sunflower_pie81, who did you hear this from, a man, lol, only kidding to me, a lot of it was the pressure but I was soooo big! No, it is not as badd as the real thing but it is not great either like was said you are tired and stressed and you feel like no one understands and you feel miserable and you are not comfortable.

Tigresacanela24, please be careful painting when you are pregnant as the paint fumes are not good for the pregnancy, yes, color is good in a nursery, I was always into off white and some antiquing(sp) boarders of coarse I do not know if they do that anymore as this was along time ago and beings the 1st was a boy I put a blue, green, beige top like thing over the top, I know it probably does not sound good but it really turned out great, at least a lot of people thought it did, my husband at the time built the cradle and the father of my children.
Good luck to all!

I don't really know I was just going off of what I have heard, I havn't gotten that far yet. However as far as being uncomfortable, I so totally am. I got into bed last night and finally got comfortable (well as good as I could) and then relalized that I had to pee. I started crying and my husband was like "what now? God, calm down and go and then come back to bed and you'll be fine." so yes I know that people (men) dont' really understand.

I will figure out what they are like pretty soon. I am driving myself crazy....Wishing I was as far along as some of you ladies are. Ack

Sunflower...I promise it will fly by and before you have any time left to do anything, you'll be 37 weeks and hugle like me!!!!!

When I fist came here I was about 20 or so weeks and thought I would never make it. But now that everything is coming to a close i'm freaking cuz I need more time!!!
