I am writing to vent... lol. I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions all day it seems, and I have been extremely emotional/sensitive lately. My poor husband... Not that he's the most sensitive person in the world.... but I take full responsibility. Things that would mildly bug be normally are just driving me beyond frustration. I just need to relax, because I can't do this for another 6 weeks. I am due on Aug 9. Yikes....

Thanks, Sarah. I am trying to take one day at a time.... The big day will come soon enough for each and every one of us... In the meantime, being kind to ourselves will go a long way....

Geralyn, hun you can't help being emotional and i'm sure Noah will be fine! You are going through a difficult time - you can't always be cheerful, perfect Mummy and we should be glad that our boys feel comfortable enough with their Daddies to know they have someone else to turn to. You keep your chin up sweetheart. BH are nasty and feeling down during pregnancy is a terrible feeling being as we are 'supposed' to be so perfectly happy lol.
You keep your chin up. Once your beautiful little girl is here you'll wonder what all the down times were about - that's what everyone keeps telling me anyway lol.
You know i'm here if you want to chat xx

I like to think of the BH contractions as getting in shape for the big race... lol.... I can deal with them... Terri, sorry to hear what you are going through... Hopefully you will make it to at least closer to your due date....
I even cried yesterday when my 26 month old told me to go bye-bye because he wanted his dad. In all times past, its been "Bye bye, Daddy" because he wanted his mom. My heart was broken. Then, of course, he sees me crying and felt bad.... Did I really need to put that on a 26-month-old? Great... Get a grip....

i've been in pain with what i thought was braxton hicks for 4weeks, they became very regular and painful... i've been in and out of hospital with them... they're not braxton hicks, they're real but everytime they start labour they stop... think yourselves lucky! i have 8weeks left! lol x

i feel like im going through exactly the same...pain nearly all the time and emotional/sensitive and a partner who isnt always the most sensitive person in the world. the pain hurts me so much so its scaring me to think what the real contractions will be like. i dont know if i can do this another 5-6 weeks either as im due on August 8. Its so hard :(
