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?!

[SoupDragon]

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.

[SoupDragon]

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

[jessicaandbumpsmummy]

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

[tegan]

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

[LadyTophamHatt]

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

[BigBumpBonnie]

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

[nutcracker]

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

[SherlockLGJ]

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

[Nemo1977]

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

[sweetkitty]

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

[Carmenere]

Very exciting I hope all goes really well for her

[munz]

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

fingers crossed.

no texts as of yet.

[Nemo1977]

munz she may be coping with the pains...

[Munchkinola]

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

Good Luck if it is tho
