If it wasn't for the rather obvious fact that I'm 38 weeks today, I'd say my period was on its way. I've got a dull ache in my back and at the front of my pelvis, which has been going on since late last night.
It's not coming and going in waves, it responds to paracetamol, it's just a nuisance, so contractions it ain't. I had a bit of this when the head engaged a few days ago, but that went away after a few hours, this pain seems to have taken up residence.
So what does it mean? Is it a sign that things are getting on their way in the next day? two or three days? Or is it yet another indignity of late pregnancy that I am going to have to put up with until I finally give birth two weeks late?
Answers on a postcard much appreciated...
