Okay, so i've been having regular period pain cramps since roughly 5pm tonight, they started off every 20 minutes and have been every 10-12 since about 7pm. Im 35+2. These aren't my braxton hicks, as these feel completely different. They've become weird now, my whole abdom hurts with them and i feel sick, ive had to go for a wee about 6 times in the last hour, and i constantly need feel as if i need a wee. I had a bit of a show about 5-6 days ago, but nothing since, my back is agonizing and the pain isn't getting better if i move or change position! Help or advice? Please?

Hmm sounds a lot like early labour to me. Can you ring your Maternity Unit and speak to Labour Ward?

Mummytobee2012 · 21/10/2012 22:42

Yea i can. I was going to leave it till the morning and ring the doctor.. :S

sounds like labour... could you relax in a bath for a bit?

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/10/2012 22:51

Please phone the labour ward.

BaldricksTurnip · 21/10/2012 22:52

The Maternity Unit is open 24/7. If you are in early labour it's better not to leave it as you're only 35 weeks and baby might need a bit of help if he comes early. Best to ring I think.

Definitely call the labour ward, it sounds like early labour to me. They won't mind that it's not during 9-5! :) It might be that you have to wait until the contractions are closer together as 10mins is still quite far apart, but because you are less than 37wks they may want to see you. Good luck!:)

It does sound like early labour. You need to phone your maternity unit now, so that they can make sure everything is okay.
Is someone with you?

pinkyp · 21/10/2012 22:52

Mummytobee2012 · 21/10/2012 22:56
