I am 40 weeks today so this may all be in my head (wishful thinking!) but I have had quite strong period pain-type cramps for an hour or two. It is starting to take my breath away, and I have been having strong Braxton Hicks for several weeks so am used to twinges! I am of course hoping it might lead to the start of labour but the baby is kicking quite a lot still - I can't remember clearly from last time but I thought the baby tended to be more still when labour was beginning?
