It's Getting Closer..
Posted: 11-14-06 15:56pm

Well, all day i've been experiencing sooo much pressure low down.. I've never felt it this bad even though my baby dropped about 2 weeks ago now. I've got bad backache too.. And I know it's still fairly early, but I can't help wondering if things are gunna be happening soon.

I know it's probably wishful thinking though, I can't wait to go into labour despite how much i'll miss being pregnant.

I've had a few contractions today, and they're lasting longer and getting more intense, even though they're still not very painful. Is it possible to only have mild ones for a while at the beginning, or are they still classed as braxton hicks? I get confused.. Labour can start in so many different ways, and false labour just makes it even harder to tell when it's actually time or not!

37 weeks. I know I could easily have 3 weeks to go if the doctors decide not to induce me.. So i'm just getting plenty of rest, but still taking the dogs for walks and spending time on my birthing ball, in an attempt to get that baby in the best possible position for birth!

Yeah, friday.. I'm pretty nervous about it! I think the baba may have grown since my last scan though, because my bump has gotten bigger and i've gained my first stretch marks over the last couple of days.. So i'm thinking that maybe they won't need to induce me after all.

Hehe i'll post another belly pic if I get to 38 weeks! Fingers crossed she'll come on her own when she's ready to meet her mummy Mr.
