Lost feeling great. Have an odd back ache have started getting quite crampy down south. Not sure what to be expecting!!

What will the contractions feel like?

Just ate a curry going to sit back and look at the soaps.

I know what you ladies meant now about wanting to turn off your phone.

Aww how cute betsie :-) Excited those crampy pains sound promising:-) You could do one better and change your number like a few of us had to on this thread :-P
When do you have your next hospital app?

Betsie_xr3i

any cramps are good, i was the same i had no idea what to expect but my god once you get a contraction you will know

keep a watch on the contactions to see if they have a regular pattern. my ones were just like period pains but regular and only for me taking them seriously cos they were regular id have had the baby at the side of the road!!

Congrats Belfast delighted for ya!

Just had a call from the hospital saying I tested positive for group B strep and have to have antibiotics during labour for any future pregnancies. Anyone else in the same boat? Apparently 30-40% of women carry it and it can pass to the baby during labour

Belfastmedic

I'm feeling ok, went for the natural birth. I think it hasn't sunk in yet that i'm a mammy now

Betsie_xr3i

It will sink in quick enough once you get home :-) hope ye are both doing well x
