How did it start for you?

[Eatsleepbakerepeat]

I'm 37+5 and yesterday woke up feeling pants I'd had a very good night's sleep but woke up feeling so so tired and like I lacked energy to do anything I felt sick and my heartburn was terrible, i had a really lazy day and woke up today feeling much better
However this afternoon I've had an intense pressure in my rear passage and felt like I constantly need to poo, baby is going crazy moving around and I think my abdomen keeps going hard, but can't tell if they're just holding a limb against my belly if that makes sense, I also have a pretty constant dull ache in my belly and a pain in my hip whenever I try go to the toilet
I have had braxton hicks already but this just feels different
Don't know if im coming down with something or if this could be early early signs?

I think that sounds promising.
I didn't have the feeling of needing a poo but have heard others say that. I had period pain for a week or so every morning that didn't come to anything.
The day of I began having period like pain/ dull ache in my lower abdomen in the late evening and was having full on contractions by around 10pm. Baby arrived the next morning.

I had all of that around 36 weeks and it took another 3 weeks for baby to come, so whilst you're getting all the signs baby is getting ready, it may be a while yet.
BUT, you never know! Everyone is different so your baby could be here sooner than you think!
Wishing you all the best 💐

No signs at all then woke up at 40+1 to contractions.

First time- 10 days over- normal. Backache started at 230pm and I was 7cm by 730pm sadly the rest didn’t go as quickly.....

Second time- A feeling of calm, woke up feeling not quite right- not necessarily no energy but just felt I needed the day to Lie around on the sofa. Also felt overly emotional for my 2 yr old. Went out for dinner- lower back ache and period type pains. Mild contractions through the night and baby born in the water 2 hours after arriving at hospital.

Lots of luck!!

Had a show, mild cramps and the day before passed bloody clots which meant I went to hospital to check everything ok and contractions started.

I still feel the same tonight and have had back ache and stomach ache with crazy pressure down below, had like 4 poops 🙈 so guessing this is just the joys of being pregnant not any signs of labour :(
Hopefully soon 🤞🤞
