Hi ladies,

I'm 39+1 and over the last couple of weeks I've had upset stomach every couple of days, very achy back and very mild stomach cramps on and off and my braxton hicks which I've been getting from around 18 weeks are getting g stronger and stronger !! This is my second baby...with my first (5 years ago!) my waters broke at 39 +1 and my son was born the next day 39+2.

I've been so agitated and irritated the last couple of weeks and desperate to go into labour...the complete opposite of the relaxed attitude I had with my son 🙈 !!

I was awake from 3am till about 5:30/6am with very strong and regular braxton hicks last night which have continued throughout today, they're not painful but are getting increasingly more uncomfortable !! I'm really hoping this is a sign things are starting up...I'm doing my own head in obsessing over going into labour... every day I think "will today be the day" then by bedtime "will tonight be the night" god it feels like torture !!!

Sorry...a very moany/ranty post 🙈

You have my sympathies op! You might not want to hear this but I had the same thing with my second baby from 37 ish weeks. Up all bloody night with bh, aches, pains, false starts..
Dd was born at 40+5 when I was officially the most pissed off person on the planet. On the plus side I had a short labour and very quick, easy recovery.

I would say'chin up' and 'won't be long now!!' but I'm guessing that would just be intensely annoying!
