Is this labour?!

41 weeks today with baby boy number 2.

Had a sweep yesterday, I was almost 2cm, cervix in the middle position so half way to the front and thinning although with a bit of thickness still to go. I had a bloody show afterwards and again this morning.

A couple of hours ago my back started really hurting, it's the middle left that's the worst but overall it's strong and very achy. It's coming with some period type pains but mainly it's my back at the moment.

What does everyone think? Is it finally time?!

I'm still very much pregnant!

So, back pains carried on last night and turned into contractions starting at 2am, they were every 15 minutes or so until 4am and then they stopped :(

Felt normal today, about to go to bed which is normally when things seem to happen for me if they're going to.

9 days over tomorrow, really feel like its groundhog day, trying to be 'ready' physically and emotionally at all times - enough rest, enough food, enough exercise, house clean and tidy, DC1 has everything he needs etc etc. It's tiring!!
