So i was having braxton hicks contractions all the time but now at 32, 33, 34 weeks they have slowed and i only get a few throughout the day but they are a lot stronger. they feel more like a real, "working" contraction. my midwife said that is perfectly normal as you near the end and your body starting doing real work.

ALSO, everything reminds me of my previous labors!!! Sometimes when i wasnt pregnant i would feel a pain or sensation and it would remind me of labor. well now that i could actually go into labor everything makes me think that "this could be it". Like i have had diarrea the past two days, and i am never even remotely regular. Loose stool was always something that happened before or during labor. i was having a side/back ache that felt just like my aches and pains with my first dd's labor. i've been nesting and a little cranky, wanting to be by myself and rest or fold sweet smelling baby clothes!! Anyway i keep telling myself i could have a long time still but it doesnt do any good. i will probably die of antisipation. You would think after three babies i would be more relaxed about the whole "when am i going to go into labor?" thing. plus i am super busy so i thought life would help keep my mind off of it. NOPE its all i think about. i guess its good in a way though. i just am so excited to hold this little guy!!

Well, no previous experience myself, but since first babies in my family tend to be born at 36 weeks, and I turn 36 weeks tuesday, i've been a tad paranoid.... esp. when I had a HUGE burst of energy yesterday, cleaned a bit, worked on the baby's dresser, then cooked a big meal.... now this morning, I'm baking. Yikes! For someone who hasnt had any "nesting" instinct since about 15 weeks... ha! Yeah. :wink

But yes-- on the BH. I had tons weeks 32-33 and debilitating ammounts at week 34, but the past week, virtually none, though, when I do have them, I have to stop and breathe.

Hang in there!!!

Nothing is really distracting, is it? With my first two, I worked full time right until they were born and I was such a head case. I was daydreaming and thinking about baby all the time, work or no work. Now that I'm home, at least I don't have to *appear* that I'm performing for the boss! I think about labor many times each day. I've pulled out the little clothes and folded and re-folded the diapers a zillion times. Every little BH twinge I think maybe soon, maybe soon...

Another new developement is that i have to pee all the time!!!! more then ever. the minute i go to the bathroom and get up i already have the earge to pee again. i would be most comfortable if i could just sit on the toilet all day long.

i was also having these tickly/pains in my cervix area. the only way i can explain it is like an uncomfortable stimulation in my clitoris and cervix area???
I just think his head is really low at this point because i feel like one of those dyson vacuums with the ball in the middle.

When the baby's head presses/bounces against your pelvic floor, it can caue an uncomfy buzzing sensation -- like static shock almost. Bit disconcerting but nothing wrong. :)
