I am 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I am deffinatly ready for my baby girl to come out! Not only cause I want to hold her but because I am misserable and have every possible sign of pre-labour! So here it all is....two weeks ago she dropped very low. I know because I almost feel like I'm sitting on her, I have lots of pelvic pain and I need to pee every ten minutes! Litteraly! I can't sleep its almost impossible. With my belly being huge, the pulled muscle in my back, all my other back pains, bh contractions and feeling like I'm gunna pee the bed! My bh contractions are so strong at times I can barely breathe and deffinatly can't move. They start in my back and then feel like a very bad period cramp. I have diarehea constantly! I am also very naueses and have lots of headaches. Sometimes I get sharp shooting pains in my pelvic area. Today I started sweellingand its weird to me cause I haven't been swollen once throughout my pregnancy. I really just want to know if anyone had this many symptoms and how long it was until labour started for them! Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Swelling and headaches can be signs of preeclampsia. Call your midwife today and tell her about these symptoms so she can check you over.

agree with fuckity- sounds like you have a few signs that could be related to preeclampsia. Please call your midwife.

yes call mw for a check up, i thought possible pre-clampsia when i started to reading your symptoms. unfortunately babies will come when they are ready only!! i was only talking to a friend the other day about her first pregnancy and she got poorly very quickly so please get checked today good luck

Thanks! And yeah I looked up pre-clampsia and my blood pressure was high last week and she said she wasn't concerned unless it was still up this week. So I guess I will find out!
