Posting here for traffic which I know is unreasonable in itself weeks!

40 weeks pregnant with my second baby. First was a planned induction and had an epidural from the off so no real idea of what the beginning of labour should be like ! I'm actually booked in for an induction next week if baby isn't here by then...midwife said today that he/she isn't engaged really so no signs of baby coming.

Anyway felt a bit off all evening but nothing major, finished doing some housey bits I wanted to get done and went to bed about midnight. Baby very active. Suddenly felt quite sick and back was hurting although I think this may have been because of how I was lying as its eased now. Couldn't sleep so have come in the bath, immediately upon lying in the bath started being sick. Now I have stomach pain across the front of my bump, almost like I've eaten something dodgy but I can't think what 🤔

Anyone experienced anything like this? I'm going to try and get some sleep but just worried as the pain / discomfort is continuous I didn't know if I should give triage a call or if I'd be hugely wasting their time !

I don't think it's contractions, doesn't feel like braxton hicks which I've had loads of previously... my bump is slightly hard but no "waves of pain" etc and my back feels much better now I'm in the bath.

Any advice would be amazing as I am really a bit clueless 🙈

I remember this with my second and wondering what the weird pains are. Didn't register that I had a curry that day and then was frantically cleaning the kitchen at 12am in a horrific mood because I suddenly felt nauseous with the lingering curry smell. Both times I had the twinges I tried to go back to sleep as they came on in the early hours of the morning and I was thinking ffs I need some sleep before this. 😂

Best of luck op. Hope all goes smoothly. I do love a Labour thread! 😀
