Contraction?

Feel like got a foot jabbed in rib and feels like got an elastic band tightening around under my breasts-could that be a contraction?

Ooooo you are around the same as me! I'm 38 weeks and yesterday I was convinced the baby was coming yesterday as I had the same sensations all day yesterday. I had a tightening of the abdomen on and off around every 10 mins lasting 2 or 3 mins at a time but it wasn't painful and didn't go into my back. Have you had any mucous show yet as I am getting 'trickles' aswell....

No show. Getting v frustrated. C section booked for 5th and desperate to do it the natural way. Let me know how you get on.
