Constant Period type ache

[eToTheiPi]

I have the above, not cramps but a constant ache in my lower tummy and nether regions all day today. Am 37+1. Baby active and tummy tight, have managed a nap so don't think it's labour - any advice? Am seeing the midwife tomorrow but does it start like this or am I just getting het up over nothing?

Im not a midwife but sounds like your body is getting itself ready to me!!!

I agree with girliefriend! I have had this for around 1 week and am 37 weeks too. Sounds like you're body is doing some labour exercises! Good luck. x

Thank you for your replies, hope this means soon, have pgp and spd so feel that I can't take much more, will see what mw says tomorrow but not holding out much hope. Have a 3 and a half year old as well! Need pain relief pre labour as well! What a wuss!

Justanormalmum, good luck too!

MW yesterday said that the baby was just trying to push herself down into my pelvis and could be weeks yet . Whe I told her that i'd been in agony she said "oh good!" Last couple of nights haven't been so bad but I'm hoping you're right exhaustednurse!

Yup, sorry but I've had this for at least the last month...
