Is labour close?

[hanaluff]

I wonder if anyone has experienced this? I'm currently 35 + 5 and since 2 days ago I have been experiencing what feels like really strong Braxton Hicks, loose bowels and excruciating pain in my pelvic and below area. I feel like baby is the lowest down he could possibly be as I have constant pressure; so much so I can barely walk now! I have been feeling movement from baby, but not quite as much it feels like he's struggling for room now. I have gestational diabetes so he is measuring bigger than average.

With all of the above in mind, I haven't seen the show, nor have my waters broken!

Thank you

I think this is more your baby getting ready for labour but the sounds of it your close , I had this from 35 weeks and had a show at 36 and he was here 5 days later , good luck !

Thank you

I've had this discharge since this morning. Could this be part of my mucus plug?

Could be tomorrow, could be weeks. Unfortunately theres no way to know.

@hanaluff hey, just wondering if you went into labour after the show or was it quite a wait. I have the same symptoms as you described since this morning
