Morning mummies
This forum is such a comfort to me. Feel better after reading what some mummies also felt. June, I oso thot contractions last night.
Last night I had a scare. Afternoon started getting sort of menstrual cramp pain in lower abdomen. I asked mom she said contractions shud come in waves. The pain is dull and slow, nothing sharp. So I wasn't sure. Went home and body start to ache all over, starting with lower back pains. Went to bed abt midnight with stomach ache. I thot maybe I ate something wrong. But can't sleep at night with body pains and stomach ache. After abt 5 hrs, bb not moving so I panicked cos bb usually active at night. Even when I sleep oso can feel her movts. Felt worried cos just read a section on stillborn babies. Woke hb up and insist he use stethoscope to find heartbeat. I tell you, if he can't find heartbeat, I would have beaten the poor guy to a pulp! But yeah, he found heartbeat and convinced me bb was ok.
Question: Contractions supposed to be like cramps right? But is it like sharp cramps or dull slow pain? All my life, my cramps are those dull, slow type, except for extreme case when the pain is acute. Mummies who already delivered, can advise?
Moi dar, all the best. Wish you luck and quick quick delivery.
Stephie, CONGRATS!! You're so brave.
