Could this be labour?

[sj2595]

Hi , first post so not sure if it's right! Last Tuesday I was 37+4 and had a S+S , I had some mild cramping and backache later that day and the next few days I gradually lost my plug. Over the weekend I had worse stomach pains that would come and go quite regular but then it all stopped. I saw my midwife around 12pm today at 38+5 and she did another S+S , since then I've had cramping which has actually been quite painful, terrible backache and have started having diarrhoea tonight (TMI I know , sorry) could this actually be the start of things this time? I'm being induced on Friday so I know he's going to be coming sometime soon anyway but would be nice if this pain was for a reason!

It does sound like the beginning of labour- diarrhoea is often a symptom! Good luck OP

Sounds promising! Good luck OP.

Thank you! Trying not to get my hopes up but easier said than done

What happened in the end?

It wasn't labour! Got induced on Friday morning but the propess didn't do anything, due to staff shortages I eventually saw a dr Saturday night who said I could have ARM , took till Monday afternoon to get a bed in delivery ward and he was finally born at 22.11 Monday night! Very long 4 days stuck in hospital but totally worth it to have my little boy here!

Oh goodness that was quite a journey. Congratulations on the birth of your boy.

Congratulations I have 2 little boys, they are exhausting but adorable

Thank you, I'm absolutely in love with him! Little 6lbs 6oz bundle of joy , I already have a 3 year old daughter and she adores him it's lovely to see
