OK, I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this oddness for me.
I am 38+5 and due for an elective section (breech baby) next Tuesday. Last night I woke up with a really tense abdomen (like the BH contractions I've had occasionally but much stronger) and it hurt - it really hurt! It was round my belly and up my back, mainly on my right. I had to get onto all fours for a minute or so then it passed. I thought 'Oh sh*t, this is labour' and waited for another to confirm that it was time to ring the ward and jump in the car - but nothing else happened - just a single big contraction (I think!). I got back to sleep and woke up as normal this morning. Baby's been quiet today but a little movement.
I'm seeing the MW later this week anyway, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what my crazy insides are up to?!
