Early labour or not?

[Babyevans]

Dunno if in in early labour this is my 3rd so you would think that I'd know but was started with my first n went horribly wrong n waters broke 4 week early with my son and didn't know I was in labour just felt like twinges? I'm 35 week today but measuring at 40cm had back pain n period pain for few hours only it feels like trapped wind on and off? Only quite painful like i need a poo but i know i dont cos already been? I'm so unsure?! Guess time will tell? :)

Sorry ment to say my first child I was started off at 41 weeks n it went wrong so can't use that as example then my second child my son my waters broke n didn't feel like labour pains thought it was twinges so can't go by that neither?!! I don't know what to think just had another whilst writing this when they happen I'm like yea think this is it but when there gone I'm like no false alarm??!! Please help any advise is welcome

You might want to give your midwife a call, if it is early labour your baby will still be prem (before 37 weeks). Just in case, I don't have any experience.

Thank you for ur reply still not changed any yet so might just be a few braxton hicks so I'm gonna go to bed n see how I am though night but if they worsen il def be ringing someone thank you tho :)

Remember braxton hicks shouldn't be painful. Best of luck :)

I am 33+3 and had exactly the same thing but have been having braxton hicks for a couple of days quite strong but nothing changed yet to concern me just hate the not knowing again this is dc3 but my last was 9 years ago so I can't remember what it felt like hope u r ok good luck xx

Ur a little like me this is my 3rd as well n my sons 7 so yes it's a long time to try n remember just worrys me cos when I had him I sat there for ages thinking it was just twinges little did I know I was in labour till my waters broke obviously lol but it's next day now n still not got any worse or regular so guess il have to wait but like you said it's awful not knowing n hate when people say you just know cos as ov explained not all the time I mean obviously in time as it progressed course you will know but not always to start with thank you all for your messages tho :)

How's things today op?

hows things for you now Babyevans?

Same really no change for better or worse just feeling really rubbish now feel sick n tired n achy so don't think it's anything. Plus baby's still wriggling well do guess nothing to worry about :) x
