Might sound like a daft question but have never gone into labour on my own before.

I am 35+5 but due to GD and a lot of fluid doc has said I have a high chance of early labour.

My bump has felt very tight and uncomfortable since about 3pm. Since about 7 I have been getting strong tightenings even 5 minutes or so. A little painful, on a scale of 1-10 about a 3.

Some of them are really making me quite breatless. Also have an ache in my back and this funny pressure feeling in my bottom.

Maybe I'm just going a bit loopy!?

Oops, missed your post about this being baby number 3
Please ignore my very patronising advice and good luck

Hello, still no baby

Was all a false alarm, ended up going into labour ward last night as the pain had got really bad. But have a water infection which is causing the contractions! So have anti-biotics and have been told to rest and drink lots of water

Very fed up!!!!!!

Look after yourself

I know it's disappointing but the more time lo spends inside the better really.

Hope you feel better soon.
