The first time I've gone more than half an hour without holding E she has been so fussy and needs to be held today all the time. I haven't showered today either.

What do early contractions feel like? I was induced with DS, so I'm lost over here. Tell me what to look for because I think I could be having them.

Like painful menstrual cramps.

I wasn't sure either, having been induced to. But when the real thing hit it was clear to me. And they become more regular. I used an app to time them

Why don't we have decent snacks in this house???

Ditto contractions feeling like painful period cramps weeklyplanner.

I see mh snuck into your house and stole all your snacks too. Way to eat a $7 back of tropical trail mix that's for the toddler in two nights. Psh.

[lakegirl]

Hugs peaseblossom55. Been there, done that. I hope she calms done soon so you can take care of yourself and get some me time. One of my biggest regrets was not asking for more help last time because I'm stubborn and didn't want to bother anyone.

I remember feeling this way with dd, I had her 9 days late. She was supposed to be a may baby and was born June 1st. I was so mean that last week.

The other half is eating them faster than I can get them in and hide them.

Being on this ball all day has at least made some kind of progress. Definitely increased and gave me SOME kind of contractions, but they're not painful and they're at the top of the ute. Sometimes I cant tell if its baby pushing her butt up or actually a contraction. Also in the TMI dept, it has helped move things aruond in my intestines and I've managed to poop 3 times today. Very exciting, and I can now bend over again to reach my socks.

Had a bloody show but nothing major to report. HURRY UP BABY.
I'm a touch worried he'll take his sweet time and be born right at the end of the month when my mum goes back to work. I'm really praying its this week.

IL's were going to come over today but FIL had surgery Friday and wasn't feeling well. H & I were looking forward to a long nap together,  Hopefully later this week.

I think it's usually 24-48 hours after the sweep of anything is going to happen.

My mw recommended finding distracting activities...

heybulldog56 I think we used it for about a week until the lc showed us how to do paced bottle feeding

[silvermelody]

Meds helped DH feel better, my parents kept DS busy and then they watched him so that DH and I could go out to lunch by ourselves. Which was very nice.

Just had blood drawn for labs for tomorrow and about to go home. Mom is making chicken and biscuits for dinner

[heybulldog56]

Thanks for the encouragement, friends. So far so good. I'm a little overwhelmed but I know we'll be fine. I think my post-pregnancy hormones chose the moment I arrived home to show up. I feel like crying over all sorts of stupid shit. And of course DS1 wants to watch The Good Dinisaur...

heybulldog56 glad you're home! Take it easy (as much as you can!)

weeklyplanner how are you feeling, is it the real deal?

opheliainwaders awesome to hear!!

I sent MH grocery shopping, he's called 3x already asking where things are 😄 I did not have the energy to go. DD is asleep and I'm about to start a new book, we'll see how far I get before Thursday!

They seemed to have stopped. I have aches in my hips now, but no more contractions.

Lol! I sent DH and DS yesterday and DH couldn't find anything. He ended up going to two different grocery stores and still couldn't "find" stuff.

This is my supervisor. What part of I don't know and I will text you when I do don't you understand?

I'm not sure whats worse. When I send my DH to the store he comes back with more bags of shit than I know what to do with... He's dangerous.

DH does most of the grocery shopping in our house because we have one within walking distance of our house. So he has the layout memorized.

My bf buys the most random stuff at the store and then expects me to make meals out of it. And he buys way too many fruit and vegetables that we just throw out.

[judyblume14]

pibblemom - after my water broke and my contractions started, I only felt them at the top for a few hours before feeling them in my lower abdomen.

[judyblume14]

Had a busy first full day at home. Lots of couch-sitting, and getting frustrated that A was too sleepy to nurse.

Made a big big pot of soup to have for the week.

Got short term disability stuff in order.

Didn't order a pump just yet (still in denial that it wasn't as easy as last time), but did manage to find my old pump and all its parts.
