Am I in labour?

I’m getting weird pains, it’s kind of like I’m feeling everything I’ve felt so far all at once. That sharp feeling as the head was getting lower, period like cramps, back pain and I have the feeling you get when you’re nervous. You know like a nervous tummy? You get sweaty palms and feet, butterflies, feeling like you need the toilet. That kind of thing. But I’ve never had a baby before so I really don’t know what it feels like to be in labour. Does it sound like I’m in labour? My waters haven’t gone, all I’m getting is what I listed above

How far along are you? Is it a constant pain or does it come and go? My waters didn’t go until I was ready to push and I had some of the above pains, but it could just be your body getting ready to labour, if you think it may be I would ring the midwife unit with your symptoms and see what they think. Good luck!

You might be...you might not... can you feel strong contractions when your tummy goes hard? Does that then stop and then start again? How many weeks?

Oh yes, I forgot to put that! I’m 38+5 weeks
