rest more in bed... that will help to "delay" the arrival of BB... dont move abt too much... im now in midst of 38th week.. though i think my BB on the smaller side n i want her to grow more n be bigger at birth, i alrdy wishing she can come soon... one thing is 1st time being a mummy.. cant wait to hold BB in my arms so very eager to meet my BB... second thing is that recently really not getting enough rest bcoz of heartburn... so a bit impatient n buah tahan the discomfort liao... like now, actually i wanna go rest n lay down one but i know once i lay down sure feels the burn again... plus i think my BB is moving n groving inside now.. dunno whats she doing also.. but not comfy lor...

relax n take deep breaths... i think 10 min apart still shld be ok... u dun walk abt alrdy... ya dawn soon so wait and see a while
i drink water to soothe the burning sensation of heartburn but i think if i drink too much, i will feel very bloated n will make me feel like puking.. so i try to take small mouthfuls at a go.. usually when i drink water, i like to drink one full glass or more... now cant really do that.. will feel terrible after that...

Haha... snuggling in bed now...
I used to have heartburns from just drinking water. You know, I sleep in a/c room, so sometimes the throat will be parched. After drinking some water, I would end up with heartburns and cannot sleep for the rest of the night...

hey i just googled online... a few sites say that if ur contractions are like 5 min apart n lasting abt 1 min each time n been having that for an hour, then it's time for u to go hosp alrdy... so urs, 10 min apart still got time, even if its real contractions... anyway might be bhc...
now i alrdy feeling the burn lor... im sitting up straight in the chair at the com still feel the burn... plus my BB groving inside... what did u do last time to relieve ur heartburn? mine can be so bad that i can be awaken by the burning sensation many times at night during sleep leh...

Mine should be BHC cos though regular, I still don't have the feeling that 'this is it!' It's still about 10mins apart, 1-2mins long. Baby is moving quite a bit!
My last labour started with pelvic pains before spreading to the back. Then followed by waterbag break.

Initial contractions will sometimes feel like severe menstrual cramps. That was how my first labour started and I was thought it was BHC.
Good thing (and bad thing) water bag broke, so confirm I had contractions and was going into labour. But hor, contractions after waterbag break is a lot worse than just severe menstrual cramps. Cannot straighten when seated or walking. Kept shouting at hubby to slow down when driving, though there's no one on AYE/ECP at 5am. Hahaha!
But remember that there's no textbook answer when it comes to pregnancy and labour! Everyone of us will go through labour differently.

Maddie, did you just wake up? Yar, BHC more common in the night... But mine's been going on for about an hour.
gbh, my hubby just stirred and saw me awake. I told him about the regular BHC and his only comment was 'uh-oh!' then went back to sleep.
How I woke my hubby the last time was I told him that it could be contractions and I'll be monitoring it. When the water bag broke, I hit him hard enough to make him stir and coupled with a shout,' Water bag broke liao! Get up!' he really jumped out of bed...
Don't worry about not getting to hospital in time, especially since you are having your first baby. They tend to take longer to come out. That said, still must monitor cos my nephew came out in 4hrs from 1st contraction. But hor, chances still quite low lar... Most firstborns will take at least 6 hours to come out and most births take place in the wee hours.

Maddie, jiayou! Try and get some rest! You will need all the strength for later!
gbh, I also wear glasses and have seen floaters all the time, just did not know they are called floaters... Thought I have microscopic eyes and can see bacterias! Hahaha!

Maddie, another way for you to rest more is that after birth, refrain from informing your family and friends first. Get some sleep and after you feel more refresh then you inform.
Baby feeds on reserves on the first day, so you can take the chance to rest more. Don't worry about offending visitors, you are the boss and you have the right to reject people and get your well-deserved rest.

My gynae v cute! After she delivered #1, she went to church and saw my mum and announced the birth news to her. In the end, I did not really get to rest on day 1.
My gynae is a family friend, so she watched me grow up one.
