Childbirth

Is this just wishful thinking...

Hi ladies, i am due today with my second baby, (ds was born on due date). Wasn't expecting anything to happen today, so went for a walk. Whilst walking i got lots of pressure down below and felt like i needed to wee, came home, sat down for lunch and started having contractions. Have now had them roughly every 12mins for the past 2hrs. In between them i have mild period type pain. Is it more likely that walking has set off a string of strong BH or is the begining of labour? Thanks for any input x

oooohhhh how exciting!!!
was induced first time but with dd2 it started with mild period like pains and quite far apart contractions!
they say that walking does help so fingers crossed - do you have a gym ball? if so get bouncing!!!

I seem to have blocked out how my labour with DS started. Yep got a gym ball will give that go, thanks.
