Not sure if I’m in early labour or just have a dodgy tummy!
I’m in Australia so it’s night time here.... went to bed around 9, as soon as I closed my eyes at 9:30 I felt bad cramping pain, like period pain/needing to poo pain. Also felt nauseous with it. Managed to stumble to the toilet and did manage to poo. Pains were quite intense and felt like I needed to vomit.
Once back in the the pain continued constantly for around half an hour or more. I then had similar pain on and off maybe every 5-15 minutes lasting 30-60 seconds. Dosed on and off, waking hot and sweaty with pains. Pain often worse when I moved.
Woke up at 2:30 to same intense cramping pain, drenched in sweat, hunched over in pain. Got to the toilet and sat there for around half an hour with constant pain. Another tiny poo. Began shaking like crazy, very strong nausea.
Managed to get in to the bath at 3:30, where I’ve been since (1.5hours). Bath has stopped the shaking, nausea, sweats and bum pressure.
Having cramping pain every 7-8 minutes, lasting 30 seconds. But the pain is quite low down, and my tummy doesn’t harden with it? Are these contractions or just very early cramping? Or is it a tummy bug?
Sorry for the novel! It’s 5am and I’m tired lol!
