It's my 3rd baby and I've been really achy in my pelvis/lower back all day although no contractions. Have just had a show and am wondering if I should call my midwife seeing as it's not 37 weeks, how long after a show did you go into labour?! My last 2 DC's were born at 40 weeks btw Smile

Sounds like beginning! I had lower back pain the day before my show, once i had the show i pretty much went straight into labour, i was 37 weeks all went well though Smile how you feeling now? x

Achy! It's not too bad when I sit down, but have to hobble around if I stand up! Were you exactly 37 weeks and was it your first? Smile

I am 37+4 with my 2nd, had a show last Tuesday at 36+3, no baby yet :( I did call the hospital when it happened and they said it could be a couple of weeks yet. But it does mean that cervix is getting ready so that is positive at least.

Oh, and I have been having back pain and period type pains all week as well.
