What differences did you feel in the late weeks of your 2nd pregnancy?

and near labour?

So far I'm not in labour with DC2 (hopefully soon!) but with this pregnancy I've had a tonne of menstrual cramps and backache which I never had first time around. They've been niggling for about 3wks now. Hopefully it means a fairly straightforward delivery? hmm

I was more aware of my Braxton Hicks, I got sciatica, more pelvic pain and developed short term stress incontinence blush 2 days before I went into labour I had Braxton Hicks all day every 3-5 mins, it didn't hurt but it was knackering.

i'm only 25 weeks, but so far my braxton hicks are stronger than DD's at 25weeks. these once are as strong as hers at like 35 weeks... :s

interesting to hear experiences smile

This baby also seems a little bit more active?!

None.

I think I probably took less notice and was less aware as I was busy with a 2 and a half year old.
