Oh the pain...f&@*.
I am having bh contractions which of themselves are not painful but they are pushing babys head onto my bladder in the most excrutiatingly painful way- like the worst cystitis on the planet. 2 Nights I have been up now every hour and I am exhausted. Its relentless and whats worse in no way productive like real contractions.
Has anyone had this and can give any advice on relief? sorry for moaning but i am just so tired.

Oh tea, I hope it's the start of something :D The baby's head pushing down like that may trigger something more substantial soon. In the meantime the only advice I can give is to sit on a ball and roll with the pains. I also found paracetamol helpful when I was at that point.
Hope you get some rest, it's all very exciting now :biggrin:

I was exactly like that for around 2-3 nights before ds2 was born. Hope it's the same for you and this lo makes an appearance soon :-)
The ball and paracetamol worked for me to ease things a bit.

Thanks ladies. I am close to certifiable at the moment from lack of sleep.

I was like that for 3 nights on dd2 and went into labour the 4th. I slept on the couch and moaned and bounced, whinged and bounced and moaned some more :lol: I also got big into come dine with me :lol:

I'm all jealous of you though because soon it will end and that brings with it a spanky new baby. Good luck

Tea, get back in line!
I have found this time round that my BH are a bit more painful than just regular BH.
I was sitting on my ball yesterday and had slight backache with them, so much so that I started to time them and breathe thru them. They were pushing the head right down on my nether regions.
I think it was the pressure of the BH and me bouncing on the ball that was doing it.

Hope we both have news soon, but like I said, get back in line!

Had this on ds2 too but was in hosp so had nothing to do but try and sleep. Managed to get 3 or 4 hours anyway. Phew.

Had a lot of painful BH just before the real thing, so hopefully this is the start for you!
