Hi, am 40+2
Story so far:
After more than a week of BH and various cramps and contractions which were not becoming regular....
2300 Major emotional crying fit (unlike me) because DP was playing a computer game all day long and it suddenly felt like too much of feeling alone.
2330 series of contractions, whilst lying in bed on left side which then tailored off after DP and I talked and sorted things out. I got up for a while at 0200 but nothing progressed so back to bed.
Awoke now at 0500 with fluid loss, not pink, clear and not mucousy like regular discharge, just thin and clear along with contractions which feel a bit like trapped wind, so might not be the real thing. feel like i need to fart or poo (!) and feeling weight above pubic bone, rectum and vagina. Went back to bed for 20 mins but more wind feeling, and more fluid loss but not a soaking or obvious gushing, can catch it with tissue.
All day (infact increasingly for four days) lower back ache (like soft tissue not bone) and extremely heavy/pressure feeling in pelvis, as if I am swinging a bunch of bananas behind my pubic bone!!
I have felt so very about to give birth for days, but it's my first so I'm clueless, though being very much in touch with my body, could be oversensitive and......
am I going insane?
No show, i.e no bloody show, no waters breaking....
does it sometimes start simply with contractions and feeling completely emotional?
does anyone
