early labour or a false start?

[sallybean]

Hello ladies,
Woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pain - but more top left of bump rather than pelvic or 'nether-region'pain. It lasted a few minutes & the went away, only to re-appear a short time later. All gone this morning, although a couple of mild niggles.
From your experience does this just sound like a bit of indigestion or maybe (dare I say it...) early labour signs?
I'm 39+2... and VERY bored.
Thanks for your advice.

It could actually just be a pulled muscle since it's at the top. Have you had it any more today? To be honest at the end everything is so stretched out of shape you can get random pains. If you're worried or it's worse you could call your mw. Sorry you're fed up, I'm 40+6 so I know what you mean, I've been analysing every twinge too!

Doesn't sound like labour pains at all, they usuallly start more like period pains or lower back pains and move up the bump as labour progresses.
Good luck when the big day arrives

Thanks ladies, I'm still waiting around, so I guess you were right and what you both say makes sense! So Thank You
