Morning! For the past half hour / 40mins I've been getting an intense pain down there that lasts about 40-50seconds and is 6-8mins apart! Is this labour? Hmm I'm 40wks + 2 first time mum. Hoping it is the start Grin

Sounds promising!

Head to the hospital and they'll assess how far along you are - good luck!

Sounds like it could be!!!! Fingers crossed.
I found the start of labour like period pains round the back and tummy which just got more and more intense.

Good luck and best wishes xxx
