I'm 36+3 with my 3rd baby. With my first I had terrible back pain for a day that i realise now was contractions and then my waters broke. With my 2nd my waters started to leak first and contractions some hours later.

Everything was fine with me and baby yesterday at my midwife appointment. Woke up in the night last night feeling terrible sick and with the urge to go to the toilet for a number 2. Felt shaky and kept having hot flushes and going hot and cold. Also I have had terrible pregnancy insomnia and last few days all of a sudden I can't stop sleeping. I feel like something is going to kick off early. Did anyone else feel like this not long before hand? I had my others at 38 weeks

Hey - funnily enough I'm 36+3 today, my first was born at 41+2 but last night I felt terrible and had stomach pains and had literally the (tmi sorry) worst and loosest bowel movement - so unusual for me. Not had any other signs since but I did worry it was the start of something...
How are you feeling now?

Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear but I'm 38 weeks exactly and have had at least 2 or 3 weeks of feeling 'off' and early labour symptom spotting.

I've had night sweats, insomnia, sickness/nausea, lower back ache, period pain type cramps, tightenings, one-off contraction type pains, pressure down below, round ligament pain, loose stools/diarrhoea, headaches and dizzy spells.
Baby has also been head down and 3/5 since 35-36 weeks.

I've spent the best part of 2/3 weeks convinced I'm going to go into labour at any minute but nope, nothing.....and, as it happens,my ELCS is tomorrow anyway.

Good luck x
