HELP...... is this the start?!

[jessicaandbumpsmummy]

Never been through "real" labour as was induced with Jess.

I am now 36+2 with baby number 2 and have been up most of the night with the most horrific back pain and pains under the bump..... is this normal?

I had a bath but that hasnt done anything, so do i need to get checked or do i take a few paracetemol and see if that helps?!

Did you do anything strenuous yesterday? My gut feeling would be to take a couple of paracetamol, put your feet up and see how things progress over the next few hours. Get pampered

I'm very much a "leave it and ee" person though.

fwiw, my labours both started with regular niggling period pains which simply got worse and more regular.

Thanks soupy.... a couple of paracetemol it is and a rest - yeah, once my dad gets here - DH working all day and amusing a 14 month old is not fun when i feel so bad!

Stick her in front of the Beebies

have you had a show or have you're waters started to go? with my first I had no show and waters didn't break but I had very strong contractions with the second however I had a show in the morning, my waters went big time at 4pm and contractions started immediately after that. have a nice long bath

sounds like it could be the start to me.......

oooh jess, good luck but you'd better not pop before me, I'll be soooooo

Sounds like when I went into labour with Dd2. I know i just felt very very uncomfortable and then my wtaers broke.

Now, taking due consderation of the fact that jessicaandbumpsmummy is normally welded to the computer, I strongly suspect that she may be in labour.

lol i thought that especially as she isnt replying on msn either

oh how very exciting JABM if you aren't in labour get on and tell us how you are doing

with my DD I had no warning signs whatsoever, no BHs, no pains, just waters going then a few hours later all hell broke lose

Very exciting I hope all goes really well for her

ooh damn missed this one! no reply for me on MSN either nemo

fingers crossed.

no texts as of yet.

munz she may be coping with the pains...

It can't be the start!! I haven't sent your changing bag yet!!!!!

Good Luck if it is tho
