Does this sound like your early labour?

[SledsImOn]

Or is it just end-of-pregnancy generalised nonsense?

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, in quite a lot of discomfort, from SPD and also, like period cramps a lot of the time. But nothing very specific iykwim.

Also I seem to be leaking a bit of water, or something, every time I stand up - it's been happening a bit for the last few weeks and has just got much more constant. So sort of hoping this is leaking waters and means something might happen soon.

I'm having a growth scan on tuesday, as the fluid was low a couple of weeks ago, but really, does it matter too much at this stage? The baby looked perfect in terms of size, on the last scan (around 34 weeks) so it's just the fluid really.

I just keep feeling like something is happening already, but I know it probably isn't. I can't imagine this going on for another month though!

Has anyone felt like this and actually gone into labour quite soon, or did it just drag on, and on and on for the last few weeks?

If you think you are leaking waters then you need to see the MW to be checked out. You can be at risk of infection if left too long.

Get yourself checked out asap, like within the next hour.

Good luck, I hope you dont have too long to wait for your baby to arrive!

Thankyou, well, the mws do know I'm possibly leaking already, and don't seem concerned about it as it's not massive amounts and the baby is growing Ok. But she said if the scan on tues shows it's gone down any more, then they will send me to see a consultant and might start thinking about induction.

I think if it's anything it's hindwaters which has a very low risk for infection (apparently! phew) but I'm just anxious that something more, well, definite should start to happen soon...

I think maybe it's just that impatience you get towards the end
