Does this sound like something's happening...?

[Minty82]

39 weeks today and was awake half the night with intermittent, quite painful pelvic pressure which is still coming and going, though not getting noticeably stronger. Possible early/latent labour, or just my body practicing?!

Are they regular. Could sound like the start of something.

Yes, but don't seem to be getting any closer together or more full on...

Have kept track for the last three hours - every 20 minutes but not getting stronger, and no show, waters or any other signs of action stations...

Could stop completely now, or go on for weeks like this or could get very exciting tonite!
Don't worry, we'll all be back later with & s to check on you.
I would make sure my bags were ready.

Oh you're so sweet, thank you! Yes, am double checking the bags etc and trying not to get too excited!

Seven minutes apart and much more intense...looks like things are getting going... Spoke to the midwife who said to come in when I can no longer talk through them - which I think isn't far off now. Wish me luck!

ooh ooh ooh!! Getting out me knitting now. how are you feeling?

Pretty good so far thanks - can't quite believe it actually appears to be happening. I'd been bracing myself for the possibility of three more weeks!

Good luck!! I walked miles round my living room holding on to the furniture when a contraction came - - i went to hospital once the furniture wasn't helping - could still talk though my husband says!!

Good luck !

Am slightly envious as its my due date today but really glad someone is giving birth! Yay!

news?

Ooh so exciting! Hope you are holding your LO by now

Hope you let us all know!! we waiting with baited breath!

Sorry for the delayed response everyone! Grace arrived at 8.09am on Sunday and is perfect. Thank you for the reassurances and advice!

Lovely, I think we understand you've been busy(!) Congratulations! :)

Congratulations

And another one safely born!! Congratulations!! May this be the 1st of many!!
