I really think one of these should be available, im sure you mums out there all know what i mean. A 100% full proof “Am i in labor ” test.
Something simple that the mother can do at home and you can stop this wondering and asking yourself “Is this it?”

Im feeling something this morning, horrible cramps that are constant - neither sitting/lying or being active seems to make a difference to them. My body is still in “clear out” mode but then again its been like that for the last week.
I *think* i may be having mild contractions but with the cramps its hard to tell if there something more than just regular old BH . Everything seems concentrated in the front with only very mild lower backache - have had no show or leaking waters.

I have searched and searched online and constantly come up with one of two answers - yes this is the early stages of labor or its false labor (common in third pregnancies apparently) .

With the girls it was simple, both times contractions started and so did the show. I had visable proof that i was not making it up and things just progressed from there. I keep telling myself if it really was the start of something i would know. After all this is my third time doing this surely i should be an expert? .

Maybe i am having a little backache now, sitting does not seem to help. Slight nausea to ……hmmm.

Im hoping we will know whats happening in the next few hours, i would love for him to born today for one extra special reason. Its a Wednesday - i know it may not seem like a big deal but both girls were born on Wednesdays and it would just be great if R was to

So im now 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I don’t think he is ever going to come.

Im going to be this huge , pregnant and sore FOREVER. Life as i know it has stopped , i struggle through each day and my poor children are being neglected. At least Rebecca has nursery which gets her out for a while each day but Eilidh is going stir crazy being stuck indoors so much.

Is it to much to ask for baby R to come of time? To put us all out of our misery and just be born already.

There is so much i want to know - Will i get my homebirth? What will he weigh? Will he look like his sisters? Will the girls like him? So many whens/whats and hows.

I know this is normal, part of me really does love this - the waiting, wondering and never knowing while another part of me just hates it. You can not plan for anything as at moment things could change for good.

I just want him here in my arms, i want my family to be complete.

No baby yet, just been battling a stomach bug and general end of pregnancy feeling like crap. Will more than likely be missing in action for a while as just sitting at the computer bugs me.

I do plan to update as soon as anything is actually happening with the baby so if im not around it does not mean im away enjoying newborn snuggles .

Talk soon
