ktgrok Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) So, it is 1:30 am. I spent most of the day picking up and organizing to get ready for the cleaning company coming at 10am tomorrow. (or, I guess, today at this point). And now I'm having contractions. This had better just be an irritable uterus!!!!! We stirred up more dust, the floors are FILTHY, etc. I cannot have a homebirth like this!! And I am NOT going to miss out on having my cleaning crew come! Drinking some water, timing contractions, and waiting for them to just GO AWAY! NOT labor! Just irritable uterus from too much cleaning/being on my feet/etc. Finally got to bed around 2am. Thanks for keeping me company! Edited August 29, 2012 by ktgrok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflections Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Probably irritable uterus. Maybe. Happened to me too with a cleaning binge (involved a toothbrush). You know the drill: lie on your left side, drink fluids... How cranky are you? How out of tune? I've noticed that people are *somewhat* crankier when in pre labor. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 You are much more patient than I ever was. I would be trying to push the kid out right now! Good luck and happy birthing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Right there with you. Except it defi itely is labor, just not too painful yet. Wishing away the contractions for a few hours. I'd really like it if everyone could get a bit more sleep before we get this going. Hugs and no contractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuff Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Glad you got what you wanted. There's a bit more to think of with a homebirth. I nested with the others, but i didn't care if my fridge was cleaned out. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuff Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, you know. Contractions through the night and are now slowing down. MW says that's normal for a 5th pregnancy. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Stop cleaning with a toothbrush at 9 months pregnant. If you must clean, come and I'll get you to do some light cleaning here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myeightkiddies Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You definitely need to settle down your nesting and rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
