I'm 37+6 and for the last two hours or so have been having horrid period like cramps every 15 / 20 mins ish. At first I thought they were diarrhoea cramps coming on but I've tried and can't go (as in I just don't need to, not that I'm constipated - I've had 6/7 trips to the toilet today and the same yesterday!!)
When I'm not having these cramps I feel extremely sick but again can't be sick, and I keep having what I can only describe as hot flashes but up my back. Really weird. Baby has been moving loads all day. I've been exhausted all day and had a 5 hour nap at 10am after getting up at 8am which is really not like me at all.
First pregnancy was twins and I was induced early and had them at 36+6 but never really experienced the early labour side of things. The induction took days and then all kicked off and was very intense very quickly.
Could this be the start or am I just wishfully thinking as I've been getting a bit miserable and uncomfortable the last few days?
