Exercise ball eh?? I'll def. check to see if the hospital has one!
Tomorrow should be interesting!
I have my Dr. appt, then a hair appt, AND my baby shower.
If this membrane sweep works right away, I may be having contractions at the hair salon!!

Guess we'll find out!

Hey Ladies,
So I may be starting labour - I woke up at 3am-ish with cramping and pain, so much so that I couldn't sleep and got up went downstairs to walk around and threw in a movie.
That really didn't help...they weren't contractions that I could time, it was just constant pressure and discomfort all through my uterus, and bizarrely, my knees, thighs and in my throat. (<--felt tight)
At around 4:30-5ish I decided to try to sleep, my head was so tired even though my body wasn't, but I only rested maybe an hour and a half before getting up again.

A pre-cursor? Maybe in the next 24hrs??
I feel so clueless and its annoying, how on earth can I tell if I'm getting close to labour if I've never felt it before??
..I think I'm grumpy from lack of sleep. lol! But prayers would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks!
- Niff

Yay! It sounds like progress, at least. I went into full labor on a Tuesday night, but the night before I had had strong, close contractions all through to Tuesday morning when I finally decided to take a cool bath. After that, they subsided to just bad period cramps until Tuesday night.

A good way to tell is to take a cool shower or bath because it will either slow or stop the contractions if it's not real labor . . . and if it isn't real, why go through it if you don't have to?

Niffer went to the hospital at 3am this morning and she is currently waiting for a labour room. Please keep Mom and Baby in your thoughts and prayers. Hoping that little pip will be born this afternoon or evening!
