I'm Currently Feeling: | Contractions.. Yesterday I had four, in a row, about 5 minutes apart and they lasted 20 seconds. I called my mum and she told me to stop cleaning, lay down, and see if they continue. They didn't continue and everything was fine. Today I've been shopping all morning. After a case of hot flashes, and some back pain, I decided to come home. Now I'm getting pains in my pelvis and a few niggling ones in the top of my bump. Nothing compared to the pain of yesterday but still, I'm on alert! Hoping this all turns out to be a case of too much housework.
Think I'll have to take my own advice I gave to Tezzy yesterday and cross my legs and sit on a "not yet" sign! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yep, slow down, drink lots of water. My midwife has also advised me to have a small glass of wine when I start cramping/contracting. It is a great muscle relaxer. I had a contraction last night, then a small glass and it realllly helped. I had maybe 2 oz of wine. |
