Today is my due date... since last Thursday I have been having menstrual cramp pains with a dull back ache, on and off... Last night between 6 & 10 pm I started having pains which I can only describe as constipation pains, or like I needed a number 2.... I kept going to the toilet, but it wasn't that.. These pains came every 10-20 minutes and lasted anywhere from 20 secs to 1 minute, so not at all regular. When I went to bed, they just stopped :(
Today I have had a couple of the period pains again, but nothing to get excited about, but have been peeing almost hourly. I haven't noticed an increase in needing the loo at all this pregnancy until now. Down below is absolutely killing me, really sore, and feels very heavy, even though baby is only 3/5 engaged. I also have a massive lack of energy. Usually I don't feel like this until about 8pm and am taking dc1 out, tidying the house etc and have bags of energy. I have spent the last 3 days in hospital with fast pulse and migraines, so have had plenty of rest compared to being at home. I literally feel as though I can't keep my eyes open! Is this labour related....? Or am I coming down with something? Or am I being silly and am never ever going to give birth?! :o TIA x
