Pressure keeping me awake

I'm so tired but facing another sleepless night. On my 2nd bath and still the pressure in my bum is constant I'm 37 +4 had all classic signs of labour due to start apart from waters breaking and tightenings. The pressure feels like I need to use the toilet but already have. Does any one else have this

How are you doing today? An upset tum can also be a labour sign. Take care.

Hang in there. You probably will have a few more symptoms before labour starts. It's hard not getting sleep. Rest as much as you can in the meantime though.

I was induced for my first, so when I hit 37 weeks with baby 2, I was on constant alert for labour. Little bugger was 10 days overdue! Hope you manage done rest.
