I was thinking about you the other day Jane, cos I remember you having contractions for ages.
I dont think mine is as bad as yours was, but I know what you mean by one long contraction cos the other night I seemed to have a cramp that woudlnt go away, I felt crampy and achy constantly, but then it kinda just faded away.

I havent had anything now since wednesday really, so Im just going to cruise along until something happens again lol.

I was getting false labour for a few weeks before Chloe was born, too... I would get contractions which would be irregular, like 10 mins, then 2 mins, then 15 mins, then 5 mins, etc. It happened more often at night for me. The WORST is when I got ONE LONG CONTRACTION that lasted around 3 hours, I was about to go to hospital when it finally went away. I just had heaps of baths and stuff, wheat sacks good too.

Just make sure that you sleep whenever you can, even in the middle of the day, so that you aren't already exhausted by the time you go into labour properly.]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 13:06:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=399130&title=eeeeekk-cramps#399130 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : All I can say is &#034;Thank god...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=398797&title=eeeeekk-cramps#398797 Author: Shezamumof3

I had a few days of this with Greer and I was about 38.5 weeks as well. Two nights of early labour that then stopped and by the third night when I really was in active labour I wasnt sure anymore, and didnt really believe it was the real thing until I got to the hospital and m/w said I was 9cm dilated. So even as a second timer I didnt really know when I was in labour.

Good luck ]]> Thu, 29 May 2008 20:26:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=398470&title=eeeeekk-cramps#398470 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : swallowing sperm apparently brings...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=398464&title=eeeeekk-cramps#398464 Author: WRXnKids

I had what you've been having Sheza but they were really regular for 2 1/2 weeks before Jack was born, and it was early labour not BH, the m/w at the hospital could tell by the CTG when I went in for monitoring. Jack was posterior though so that was the problem.

The 3 days before I went into full-blown labour I did the EPO trick (3 up, 4 down IYKWIM) and had sex only a few hours before my waters broke.]]> Thu, 29 May 2008 19:32:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=398387&title=eeeeekk-cramps#398387 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : Maya wrote:LOL, I tell you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=398163&title=eeeeekk-cramps#398163 Author: Shezamumof3

Hi Sheza

Another thing you can try is eating fresh pineapple! I was almost a week over due so ate some fresh pineapple, started having minor contractions (or BH) the next day, then they disappeared. So had some more pineapple and went into labour the very next day. This was on the advice of a friend who had been told to try pineapple.

May not work but unless you don't like it - it can't hurt!

even as a first time mum who had prett painful bh during the preggy from about 25 weeks and had pre-labour (that's what they call them aparently) for almost two weeks, i just knew when it was time. i woke after two hours sleep, adn told dh to go to bed knowing i was having contractions, nto major, or regular, but having them still teh same. i knew i wasn't goin back to sleep. this is midnight, by 2am i knew it was real as they were lasting 50-60 seconds. and every 5-6mins from memory. good luck for tonight sheenz, and i really really hope they keep getting stronger and more regular AND lasting longer. that's the key. the length. my mw told me anything shorter than 60-90secs isn't doing any thinning of the cervix...]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 21:53:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=397527&title=eeeeekk-cramps#397527 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : Mmm I think what im getting is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=397491&title=eeeeekk-cramps#397491 Author: Shezamumof3

Things have gone quiet again now, havent had anymore, so I think this is just going to go on until I acually go into labour.

Sheza it still sounds like early labour not just BH but I wonder if baby is posterior and that is making your labour not set in at this stage?

Theres heaps of old wives tales to help bring on labour, try crawling on the floor, doing squats, eating curry, sex - doggie style, going for a bumpy ride in a car, nipple stimulation, long walk, rasberry leaf tea.....haha cant think of anymore but even if they dont work some are fun to try.

Good luck! Sounds like an irritable uterus,

I had this for about 4 days before I had Charlotte, I was almost 2 weeks overdue, though! I was booked in for an induction on my 2 weeks day, but I was sooo tired from the up and down cramps etc she induced me a day early - got a valentines baby that waya s well.

It does suck, I had wicked bad ones in the supermarket, as well. the checkout lady told me I was stupid for being there if I was in labour. Cow.

Hope it comes to something soon for you!]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 08:22:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=396513&title=eeeeekk-cramps#396513 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : hehe thanks everyone.

Im still in one piece lol!

When I woke up this morning things had stopped, but as soon as i was out and about things started up again.

So Ive had cramps on and off all day and constant ache in my lower back and the front of my bump.
Then while I was in foodtown with nana I had a reallll bad one, it hurt and made me have to hunch over, then got another one about 10-20mins later just as bad and had to crouch down, and had another one about an hour later while driving.

Now Im feeling achy and crampy still, had a shower and it made me feel heaps better but as soon as I get out the cramps start up again.

Also had some yucky stuff when i wiped, wasnt much but it was like thickish...gooey stuff, but just a little bit.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 18:11:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=395943&title=eeeeekk-cramps#395943 <![CDATA[Eeeeekk Cramps.... : im lurking too!!! eek!! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17637&PID=395930&title=eeeeekk-cramps#395930 Author: mum2emj

Sheena, how're you feeling lovely??
I am squealing and getting all bouncy for you!
My labour started on Thursday midday with lower back pains every 10 mins, lasthing about 30 secs each.
On Friday night at about 7:30pm I have a sharp stabbing pain that knocked me over and then my show at midnight. In hospital by 7 on Saturday morning and Hannah was here by 1:34pm.

Sounds promising!!

Oooh Sheza, exciting! Sounds exactly like how my labour went with Maya - cramps and back pain every 10 mins or so and after 24 hours of that things intensified and she was born the next day. I had a show after the contractions started but no waters breaking, I had them artificially ruptured in hospital later on.

Best of luck over the next few hours, hope the walk does the trick - but you do realise you're not allowed to have this boy yet, coz once you do it means it is waaaay too close to when my wee minx is due!

My waters didn't break until later too, but once they did it was all on. It's a really odd feeling, like there's a balloon inside you and suddenly it pops.

Great that you're going out today, good to try and keep normality while you wait for things to happen.

Sounds like your definately not too far off! Get out walking, that just may be what your body needs to get it kicked started again, just take it fairly slowly though!

Mine started with a back ache too and walking definately brought my labour on!

Well not much had happened at all, I didnt get wokrn up by painful cramps or anything, although I do still feel crampy down low its not contraction like.

Am going to go for a big walk today to see if they start up again.
