I think I've lost my mind!....updated

[cmoma]

So yesterday and today I have been in really crappy moods, just snapping at my kids (I feel so bad) today was worse. All day I have been feeling a bit uncomfortable baby has been moving a lot and I've been feeling lots of twinges way down low along with pressure when I go to the bathroom. Well after my sons t-ball game we came home I got the kids their bath and put them to bed. Came downstairs really hungry ate small bowl of cereal and then a bean rice and cheese burrito. Not long after I started to really feel "weird" just off. Was having some contractions baby was shifting and I fell some weird jitteryness.

I then made a major dash to the bathroom and had diarrhea have since gone a few times. I started to drink water and just tried to rest sitting on ball, tried going to bed twice! I am having a few contractions but no big deal. Its more of this feeling of uneasiness. I was hoping to wait atleast another week as I'm only 37w1d.

But I can't shake this feeling like I might be going into labor. Its so strong now that I have been running about like a crazy women finishing up packing my bag and the kids bags. I am peeing like crazy and am wondering if it's actually amniotic fluid as it is clear and odorless. But I am not sure?

I am trying to relax but I keep having what I think are little my anxiety attacks/blood sugars drops. Not helping. Ahhhhh

This is nuts. I know I'm not in labor but I don't know if things are starting or what. Too soon Too soon.

Ok breathing now..... what can I do to help me relax. I've got my ipod charging hopefully it'll be done soon and I can have some quiet music.

Thanks for reading I feel like I'm in shock of sorts that I may actually be heading into labor. It was just yesterday I decided I needed to get my act together and start preparing for labor and birth so that she didn't get too comfy in there. I didn't mean to send her the A-OK signal to come out NOW!!!!

Oy vey. can I send my labor vibes off to some of you who are totally ready.

You can send your labor vibes to me!

Actually, I had been so anxious hoping to go early but its like the last couple of days, I've settled into going at least to my due date.

But, it sounds to me like you're getting pretty close! I'm sending you nice, loving, mama-birthing vibes!

You know I'll be watching like a hawk for an update! Hope all goes well tonight!

Between you and Katie, I'm totally going to dream about birthing tonight because I'll be so excited to read up on the happs tomorrow!

Thank you I think I need them!

Going to try and get some sleep...if I can

Sounds like me late last week.... turned out I was coming down with a stomach bug. Not sure which is worse! But I wasn't having contractions

I hope tomorrow is a calmer day and you get a chance to relax. I think you're just in the pre-labour phase and nesting and feeling restless are perfectly normal and not to worry, you'll get through it!

Put on some calm music, dim the lights or close the curtains, and just think about breathing deeply until you feel relaxed. This may be prelabour, or it might just be your body starting to prepare itself for a few weeks' time. Either way, breathe, relax, move slowly, and enjoy the changes your body is going through!

Well I am still here still contracting, they seem to be more regular when laying down. I am noticing that I appear to be contracting without really knowing it but I am also feeling like I am contracting but my stomach isn't hard? Weird

I am much calmer more relaxed, but I think I may be inhibiting things from truly progressing? Not sure but I'm just feeling like this is too soon. I still have 3 more days of watching the little boy I take care of, my sister who really wanted to be here isn't here won't till next week.... I dunno, part of me is saying just let go.....the other part is saying NO its not time, hang on a bit longer baby

I haven't slept much but I have rested. I am peeing nonstop so annoying and to add a little tmi when I had my first really loose bm I got a small hemmroid (sp?) and it now hurst a little whenever I go, not exactly something I wanted before going into labor. Any suggestions on helping it?

Anyway thats about it....only time will tell right?

I've been having similar feelings... ctxs and just feeling a bit weird. I don't know how to describe it, I've been in the best mood and feel sort of floaty. Probably doesn't make much sense, but it's a good feeling.

Anyway, about hemorrhoids - try Bag Balm. I dunno why it works, but it does.
