I'm nearly 39 weeks now.
Last night I woke up with a contraction type feeling in my lower back (wasn't sure if it was constipation), then this morning I had 3 contractiony things about 10 minutes apart. It felt like period pain, but the achey kind not the crampy kind, and started under my bump (while my braxton hicks seem to start around the side), my bump went really round like a bowling ball and rock hard (rather than just tense like a BH). I had one of these a week or so ago as well.
So, for those of you who have done the birth thing before, does this sound like some kind of pre-labour warm up, or is it just a random thing? I haven't had a show or anything yet.
