Sorry to ask but…

be careful with castor oil …. my mum told me it helps bring on labor so stupid me took some because i was over being pregnant at the time and i had my daughter within 24 hours 3 weeks early..she just turned 9 on 9/9/09…. good luck hope all goes well and i agree with kylie it sound like it might be real soon

if it is constipation try a spoonful of castor oil (yuk) or get some newlax from your chemist. it’s like a fruit laxative. anything to relieve the pain.

If it is constipation elaine it sounds like you are doing everything you need to like drinking lots of water and eating plenty of fruit. I find having some yoghurt gets my bowels moving. I wouldn’t take any supplements without first discussing with your gp. I hope the pain goes away and good luck with the next few weeks. Look forward to hearing your exciting news.

Can you remember when you had Callum if you experience pain like this, I think I had both my bubs with-in a day or so of gettin bad pains, the contractions might very well start up quickly, when I had my second the contractions started fast and bub was born in hours, nothing like the first one when it was more textbook with the symptoms. I would just sit tight and wait until you experience contractions, too many pregnant woman head to the hospital thinking they are in labour only to get sent home, as you would know after already having one, when it is the real deal you sure know it, lol. Good luck darl, I don’t think there is anything you can do for the pain just try to keep yourself as comfy as you possibly can, which I know is next to impossible darl, keep us posted 🙂

go and see what the doc has to say, you might be a mum before you know it. Is this your first?

ooo sounds like your bubba is coming very soon! GOODLUCK
