I took Adela in to see about her cough and the Dr said they only do something if they have a high temp that cant be controlled with paracetamol or are short of breath, but I'd say call NHS direct if you're concerned.
she's a little less snuffly today, am keeping her doesed up with calpol to keep her nose dry, in the hope it wont go on her chest.
we went for a walk in the snow and she got too hot! started crying til i peeled a layer off!
then we went shopping.
at the mo she is sat on her teddy, infront of the tv playing with a wall-e tin.
I thought kyle was cute hun!
my contractions started out as a sort of rubbing not even pain where chloe head was laid slightly to one side. like she was moving her head and it was a pressure there. As they got stronger that got tighter and i started having peiod-y like cramps in that area too. But i was 4cm by the time i had my first kind of pains. Also i would like to say although the pains were more intense, it was the squeezing i didn't like, the pain was actually less than my period pains, but sharper (instead of a dull ache). I only had an epidural coz the gas and air were making me sick and they said i had hours to go (When in reality 5 more mins and i could have started pushing).
good luck, go get checked out if you want. you can always go on the machine to see (although the machine said it wasnt labour and i was 4cm) mand x

could be contractions, do they feel like braxton hicks but stronger, more painful? if baby is back to back with you, you are likely to feel more in the back than front.
if you are having contractions you could do with timing them and seeing if they are coming at regular intevals, speak to your midwife and see when she says to get checked (how far apart they are). also if oyur waters break then go get checked because of infection and also as labour can progress quite fast once the waters are broken.

to be honest I'm not 100% sure hat braxton hicks feel like, Baby is back to back and doing my nut in lol!
i've only had 4 tightening feelings since silly o clock this morning, god how on earth to people go 2 weeks overdue? I'm going potty and I'm due today!!
Luckily I'm at the hospital thursday morning if i havent had him by then =)
i could tell she was tired. but she was fighting it. so i have decided to just let her play and when she's ready she'll sleep. that way she has a proper nap instead of 10mins.
so she was playing with her winnie the pooh piano, kinda sat, but her top half lay down to the side with her head on the floor. then she moved to teddy, she usually stands up and bashes the shelf the tv is on, but today she sat playing with her wall-e tin, with teddy almost wrapped round her. then she just put her head down and started snoring! she slept for 30mins before my dad woke her up by taking a proper piccy and the flash went off.
