Early Labour Signs??

Hi all.. I am now 35 + 4 with my 3rd baby. I’ve always had a feeling we wouldn’t make it to term but the past 2 days I’ve been feeling odd. I have been diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension and put on medication so it could just be that but I’ve lost my mucus plug and a had a tiny amount of spotting, my boobs have started to leak and become really sore again, I’m getting like shooting pains which feel like further forward than normal I guess in my cervix.. I’m also having a lot of tightening in my tummy and back along with period type pains. Nothing regular or very painful but enough to get my attention.

Im wondering if this is just normal for late pregnancy or if it could be something happening? I’m so ready for her to be here but obviously worry about her being born before 36 weeks and what that would mean for her. I also had a very fast 2nd labour so am on high alert for signs anything could be happening though I’ve been told 3rd labours can be very start stop..

Anyone experienced anything similar? Am I just overthinking? Thanks in advance x

It could be early labour or could be UTI symptoms.

Either way please get yourself to Triage ASAP, hope all goes well xx

Call your midwife, or whichever healthcare professional is your first port of call in your area.
