been feeling like that myself for a week or so and I'm now 4days overdue!

I had the same pains/cramps and feeling sick for about 3 days before bean was born. Actually saw my midwife the morning before he arrived, 2.5 wks early, and she said he was nowhere near ready and it would be days/weeks still.

think you're just going to have to wait and see, try and get loads of sleep if the cramps aren't too bad.

On the flip side, i woke up with the symptoms you describe and had my dd 1.50pm that day!

I'm not saying the same will happen for you but there may be a glimmer of hope. But try to relax because as the others have said it could go on for some time yet.

I know what it is like waiting as i thought i felt contractions ( i now know they were nothing like contractions! and no sick feeling.) about three weeks before my due date and i ended up not having dd until five weeks later!!

Wish you luck with the birth - whenever it may happen!
