Been going on since yday and getting worse, I know I'm getting tightening but I really am unsure of what's going on. It really hurts and goes dull. I can feel it in my thighs. Any one had this? Was it beginnings of labour.

Sounds like labour!

MyBeard · 17/06/2016 15:36

My early contractions felt like bad period pains! Good luck x

Janek · 17/06/2016 15:37

aka labour.

PatMullins · 17/06/2016 15:37

Yeah period pains usually are the start
Good luck

Jodie1982 · 17/06/2016 18:09

Ooo sounds like labour. Call maternity triage. Good luck

lljkk · 17/06/2016 18:29

why don't you think it's labour? (we REALLY need a knitting emoticon)

AbsolutelyIDo · 17/06/2016 18:29

Ah OP, that does sound a lot like labour. How are you doing?

hormental · 17/06/2016 18:33

Yep! Definitely sounds like labour!

IamChipmunk · 17/06/2016 19:24

My labour strated with increasing 'period pains' and then pains down both thighs!
Good luck if it's the start!

Afreshstartplease · 17/06/2016 19:26

Ooo birth thread!

Pinkheart5915 · 17/06/2016 19:28

Sounds like start of labour

EvansAndThePrince · 17/06/2016 19:30

Definitely labour, I had a wee heat pack on my tummy at the start (was induced) then switched to "breathing", then gas and air, boom, done. Heat pack to baby in 5 short hours.

WellErrr · 17/06/2016 19:38

Labour.

Exciting!

laurenwiltxx · 17/06/2016 20:08

Still in pain, called birth centre, they want me to wait till it gets worse before I come in but abit of plug has come out now so hopefully I wont drag out for too long!!

Is it toe-curling yet?

Jodie1982 · 17/06/2016 21:29

Good luck. When you get further along you'll probably forget to post on here as your mind will be busy with the contractions.
Hope you have an easy birth experience

Whatsername17 · 17/06/2016 21:29

Have a fantastic labour and birth!

AbsolutelyIDo · 17/06/2016 21:45

Good luck

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 17/06/2016 21:48

Good luck - I'm mega jealous. I'm 38+4 and desperate to go into labour before I'm induced at 39+6!

Mimilicious013 · 18/06/2016 08:18

Good luck op.

Afreshstartplease · 18/06/2016 08:58

Wonder if op is snuggling her baby yet!

Fingers crossed this will be me in 16 weeks!

Mimilicious013 · 18/06/2016 10:27

It's always nicer to have baby early than late. So fx you will be lucky too afresh
