Anyone awake to speculate wildly with me about whether I'm in labour?

This is baby #2 - my first (now 4) came early and labour / delivery was unusual so don't really feel I have a 'normal' frame of reference.

I'm 38 weeks. Had sex at 10pm-ish for the first time in a long time. Now I'm getting tummy pains and tightenings every so often - though very mild - and wind, nausea, lots of pooing...

Basically I know the answer is "this might be labour, wait and see" but as per thread title I'd like some speculation buddies who are willing to confidently express their unqualified opinions, please. DH is snoring happily beside me but I can't sleep.

Thank you so much, everyone! BHGU is 100% worth the wait. I think we'll keep him. 8lb 5oz, and I felt every inch of it.

Who was closest with their predictions?!

Visiting starts at 10am, and I can't wait for his big sister to meet him. But before then: my body weight in toast. Aaaaaahhh.

Well done Boris- you finally appeared and then settled straight in to having a rest and a snack! I too bloody love gas and air

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 19/10/2019 09:20

My husband ate my hospital toast so I’ll never know what it tastes like- worth having another baby for?

Congratulations!!!!! At last! ThanksStar

I never got any hospital toast. I was in labour for 50 hours. My husband was offered a cuppa straight after, and I had a microwaved hospital omelette 22 hours after the baby was born.

I was fucking ravenous.

HerculesTheBercules · 19/10/2019 12:56

He is beautiful and you look radiant.
