Could these twinges mean labour soon(ish)?

40+2 and last I heard the unborn was semi-engaged - since Thursday I've had...

Tears, tears, tears. Happy tears, sad tears, all tears.

Near-incontinence (of the wee variety).

Increased pooing (not bad tum, but more frequent poos).

Increased vagdis. Potentially some 'mucus plug' action.

Night time cramps/ sore back/ BH.

Feeling that the unborn is this close to exit (walking feels precarious).

Nausea (no actual sick).

I've felt generally a bit shit and under the weather (headache, dry skin, sore throat, bungy nose).

Please tell me all this means that DC1 is readying for lift off. I am sooooo impatient to meet her!

What can I do? (I've been ball bouncing, rasp leaf tea drinking, hobbling walking, date eating, I'm not sure I can haul my semi continent whale-self into any kind of sexual position...

Yes, definitely means you are imminent!

Ok, no idea but surely they are all good signs. More hobbling needed I recon!
