Hello everyone, I am almost due but at my last appointment my midwife told me my baby was not yet engaged and the head was free. That was 6 days ago. Two days ago I began having regular contractions 7 mins apart they lasted hours then stopped. Yesterday my back was aching at the bottom and contractions began again 10 mins apart for a fair few hours. They once again fizzled out. Today my back began aching again and I had cramping low down so I have taken paracetamol and it helped. All the pains have stopped but when I have been going to the toilet Iv had some loose stools and from my vagina Iv had a very slimey mucus discharge!! I also feel my baby very low down on my bladder compared to 1 week ago. Does labour sound close?
