So, I'm awake. 37 weeks +1. Went into hosp yday as hadn't felt baby move all day. Monitor indicates tightenings (that I couldn't feel) quite a few times in 25 mins, she said this could potentially mean I was going into early labour. Later that eve had tightenings again and constant backache (have had a bit of period type pain in back recently as well). Awake since 4am with pretty constant backache and tightenings about every 10-15 mins. They are not really painful but keeping me up and I feel generally uncomfortable.
I'm aware these aren't proper contractions, but potentially how long could this go on for?! I'm hoping not another 5 weeks! Baby's head is 2/5ths engaged I don't know if this makes a difference. Anyone else had similar experience?
