Cramping - and 4 days to go!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really down in the dumps today. Yesterday I had bad cramps late afternoon and then they stopped by evening and now again today the same thing. I'm due to test on Thursday and I'm trying to stay positive but all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry as part of me thinks it has not worked. How can you stay positive when your body goes through so much. I really don't know what to do with my-self and I keep telling my-self that it might still be OK as I'm not bleeding. This is absolute torture and I feel sorry for my other half as he keeps trying to cheer me up and all I do is shout at him. I hope I snap out of this negative stage soon. Sorry for going on but it might help me dig deep to find all those positive vibes I had last week. Love Barbs xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Barbs, We haven't spoken before, but I read your post, and just wanted to reply and say don't give up! I remember having the most terrible cramps on and off for nearly a week before my test day was due. I felt terrible, convinced it hadn't worked, and prepared myself for the mother of all periods....anyway, here I am just starting into my 28th week carrying triplets!! The moral of the story is that you just never know. I wish I could say it was the same for everyone, but it isn't. No-one can say whether it has or hasn't worked for you this time, but hang on in there...I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope you feel just the teeniest bit better after reading this! Barbs, I will be thinking of you this week, especially on Thursday. Everything is crossed for you. Love and big hugs Sallyxxx

Hi Sally Thanks for your reply - it has made me feel alot better. It's silly really because I logged on to say that the cramps have now gone and with your few words of comfort it has made me feel so positive again. It is fantastic to hear you are now having triplets - you must be so proud. I love to hear such good news. I hope you are looking after your-self and getting lots of rest because you will need it. But I bet you will enjoy every minute of it - and you deserve it. Thanks for the kind words - they were very much needed. Love Barbs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
