Labour?

Hi,

I'm 40 + 3 so on the alert for labour at any moment.

I've been having the usual Braxton Hicks, cervix jabs etc for days but tonight things feel a little different. I'm experiencing pain across the front of my abdomen above my belly button and I'm wondering of this could be the start of things. The pain is constant, not in waves as I was expecting which is making me think it could simply trapped wind ;0). Oh, after a quiet couple of days, baby has suddenly become VERY active too.

It also feels like a need to have a poo without feeling '
constipated (sorry if tmi) but each time I try, nothing happens!

This is my second baby but first labour due to elective c section first time round so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Haven't any experience with spontaneous labour as I had cs's but wanted to wish you good luck. I should think someone who knows more will be along shortly!

Umm, well, I felt like I needed to poo and had bad constipation-type pains both times I went into labour!! So I it could well be time. Best of luck!
