Hi I also feel small from couple of days, not sure if it has anything to do with baby dropping. If you hear anything please let me know.

we just moved into our house about 3 weeks ago or so and I am still working on unpacking. I got all the things we use on a daily basis done, but there are some things that are still in boxes and will probably end up in the attic. It's been difficult. My husband has been doing alot of the carrying of things upstairs just because it is not easy for me. I get a lot of pain down in the pubic area when I lift a lot of weight or when I am exerting myself too much. I just hate putting more housework on him. He works all day and I am home with our 4 year old. I should be the one doing most of the cleaning and not him. Luckily he is very understanding.

Don't feel about taking your maternity leave and then quitting ... just don't tell your bosses you're planning on doing that! : )

mrswood - Tuesday, 30 September
I'm glad you have a sweet Hubby that takes care of you too.

Mama Bear - Tuesday, 30 September
Hey, Ive never experienced any cramping or false contractions yet, but it sounds like what you experienced might be braxton hicks contractions. I'd still ask the doctor about it though.

mynameisellie - Tuesday, 30 September
Yes. I've had those cramps - no bleeding, but cramps. I went to my doc the next day (a day before my scheduled appointment) b/c you just don't want to mess around with that. My doc kept asking me if they were like contractions and, to me, they felt like period cramps. They happened at night and again the next morning. My doc said to make sure I'm staying hydrated (with 6-8 glasses of water a day at least) and that next day, I just kind of rested and took things easy. I never really did get a good explanation about the cramping, but from what I gather, Braxton Hicks aren't really supposed to hurt, and apparently they're not supposed to be constant, like cramps. I hope that helps!

tammie1 - Tuesday, 30 September
I get the cramping quite a bit. Especially when exerting myself too much. I have actually been dealing with the "menstrual" cramping today. I just laid down, put on a hot water bottle and relaxed and within a half an hour they were gone. They very well could be braxton hicks, they are described as feeling like cramps, As long as you are feeling your baby kick and move I really wouldn't worry about it too much.

I have trouble with the stairs now too!! My house has lots of stairs and everyday gets harder to get up and down and I am starting to dread them!!

lemonysickness - Wednesday, 24 September

Aydansmommy - Monday, 22 September
Glad to hear your test went well!!!! I hear ya we can swing it with out me working but it will be an adjustment that is for sure. I am going to stay untill after the baby is born just because I have short term disablitity and my christmas bonus should be $1,100. I have a boss like that too who will not give special anything and hates giving time off it just boils his bubble I used to cry over it but now I just let it roll off my back fire me I will pull the pregnancy card for unemployment and then I can still sit home lol just look on the bright side and things will turn out ok! good luck
