I'm 37 + 2 days.
Feel like baby has been pushing down for a good week or so.
Now feel agitated last couple days.
Pain on and off not very regular but coming and going for a few days- but had stomach cramp pain since yest evening about 8pm. This is like a constant dull cramp across my tummy now though.
Back ache since sat morn.

With dd I gave birth day before due date and only symptom before waters breaking was bad back.

Hmmm I don't know?!
I did manage to sleep from 1 until the morning (bar getting up for wees) do if anything was happening would I have been able to sleep?!

I had my 3rd DC three weeks before his due date. I hadn't even got a bag packed, so get packing.

I had lots of Braxton Hicks and was so energetic I was up a ladder painting windows in the afternoon. Had him in the evening in a few hours.

The back ache is not easing off feels like its round my hips too- it does feel like the pains I had last time but not as strong and not in waves - this is more like a constant full ache. Just waiting ATM I do need to be monitored throughout labour though

Maybe give your midwife/delivery suit a quick ring and see what they think?
