bit freaked out by the high level of movement there!Obviously it's better to have movement than not but what does it mean?also having longish conractions with period like pain?

I would call your midwife doe advice. More or less movement, ie a change, needs to be checked out.

I do remember that happening, yes

And went overdue with al 3 of them

Is it your 1st? If not how did other labours start?

Call your mw or ante-natal ward and get yourself checked out.

IME a mw is always happy to take a call, even if it is to put your mind at rest

BUt I think lots of BH is good (and normal) at this stage

Don't know why the baby moves alot at this stage, but I do remember all of mine doing it. HTH and that you don't have much longer to wait Smile

Just spoke to the hospital, who said it could be early labour. eek!they also said lots of baby movement is a good sign so that's good. Thanks for all your replies, I will keep you posted :)
