I'm 37+5 and been feeling the same. A lot of tightenings which are very slowly getting more intense. Very bad back ache, which last night turned to pressure in mu bum. And nauseas..I hope it means the start of things for us both :D have researched and it does match the pre-labour symptoms.

Keep updating please. I've had the same symptoms as you both describe but am only 29 weeks. Midwife says nothing to worry about...

iv been the same since about 39 weeks im now 40+2 so I guess it could go on for a while in some cases?

The start of my last labour felt like period pains and notably in my lower back, which woke me over the course of a few nights. So could be :)

I have been like this since last Thursday I'm 37 weeks today. MW at the hospital doesn't think I will be too much longer. Drinking Rasberry Leaf tea and blackmailing baby at the moment. :)
