I know there are loads of threads on this, but I think I need to hear some anecdotes of people having lots of early signs with second baby and still having a few weeks. Otherwise I'm going to wake every day for the next 21 days being disappointed!
I'm 38 wks, baby is fully engaged, had period cramps and backache since Tuesday (have eased off today) and slightly dodgy tummy yesterday, and I got my hopes up that the baby was on its way. Oh, and I feel slightly sick in that first trimester way again. And had an absolutely ridiculous nesting and insomnia night on Tuesday, resulting in 3 hours sleep and very clean cupboards.
I didn't get any of these infuriating 'signs' with my first, and was 5 days over.
So with second babies - how long was it from fully engaged to labour starting? And did anyone have lots of these signs like backache for days/weeks before labour?
I need a reality check!
