Apparently your body feels these 'practice contractions' more and more with each subsequent baby. No shit. They are often quite painful too. I've been getting loads of them.... and ouch, they really bloody hurt.
Generally speaking I'm a walking mass of discomfort at the moment. For saying I didn't have much of a bump or gain much weight in the first few months, I've suddenly 'bloomed' and am enormous, giant bump, very uncomfortable, almost the way I'd expect to feel at 9 months pregnant - not at 6. I have non stop heartburn which wakes me in the night, my stomach is sore and painful with these BH contractions, I get exhausted from doing anything, I can't walk far without needing to sit down, my ankles are swollen, and generally MOAN MOAN MOAN MOAN MOAN I feel like crap.
Oh and I'm also having bad dreams. Last night I dreamt that I had the baby and she was really ugly and had a hooked nose, thin lips and acne. Great.
There, I feel better for venting.
