Am I in labour

I've been having a lot of pressure for a week now and yesterday I woke up with shooting pains in vagina and so much pressure in vagina and bum (I can barely walk)
Been getting period cramps for a week.
Can I get excited or is this normal
(Second pregnant)

How far along are you? If you think you're in labour it's worth getting checked out.

Could all be signs. Phone the labour ward they might want to do a little check

What did the hospital say?
Honestly I'd say maybe baby has dropped causing the pressure, and fanny daggers etc but if your worried make sure you checked out x

Said it may be early labour but I can't go up unless it's full labour.
I'm literally walking like I've pooped myself 😂

I waddled because I felt his head between my legs so he really dropped down. Then I had the 💩's and really bad lower back pain. I stood there swaying. When I was checked I was 3cm. I didn't even know I was in labour. What a fool 🤣
