tightenings roughly every 5/6mins - I still think Braxton hicks...?

[Littlerayofsunshine]

I had this with DD and she came within a few days when they kicked off into the real thing.

This is my 2nd DC. They are frequent, but not "proper" ones i dont think.

I do keep getting a striking pain up through me/my backside too.

I'm 38+4

Ooh it's just two weeks since I gave birth and I'm envious of you now

Good luck, keep us up to date, sending lots of positive happy labour vibes for you

It sounds like your starting to go into labour to me. I started off like that at 6 in morning, DS arrived 32 hours later.

Thanks, :)

I remember thinking this was it with DD, then like 2 days later i knew the difference. Just wondered if the same would happen in a few days or so as DD came at 40+5

Baby is still Very active though. Can't remember if DD slowed down or not. even if it was only 18m a go

DP & I dtd today d eer since then, i've felt so sore and swollen from what feels like baby pushing down more so.

I have bh's every 5 mins ish but just not strong enough.

9days until EDD!

I was having BH's with dd2 every 3 minutes but knew it wasnt hurting enough to be anything "proper". Still sodding hurt though and it is so frustrating knowing you have had that discomfort for ages without it progressing.

Good luck, hope it all goes well!
