I doubt very much this is the start of labour and u think I should know as I've got a DD who is 5 but with her I literally went from nothing to full blown contractions within minutes. I'm 36+5 with Dc2 and been constanley needing to go for a number 2 all week but its always been constipation sorry tmi. But I've needed to go at least 3 times a day then today I've had softer number 2's that usual and feeling generally unwell. Tonight starting getting a back ache and twinges down there but weirdly on my right side. I know it's prob not the start of things as no waters or mucas plug and I'm not full term yet but part of me hopes this is it as I'm huge and fed up. I know no one can tell me wats gonna happen just needed to write it all down!!! :-)
