Woken by a contraction..

But nothing since!

I am 40 weeks today and have been cramping and feeling like things have been getting started for the past few days. I was woken by what I am pretty sure was a contraction at 05.30 so thought this was it...but then I haven't had any more! A couple of loose bowel movements followed and now I am cramping again but I haven't had any more contractions. I know I just need to chill out and it could be a while before I am really in labour but I feel like my body keeps teasing me with these signs that never go anywhere!

Sounds promising ! Sit tight you will probably start getting regular contractions in the next day or so. Do what ever last bits and bobs you need to while you can. Good luck, you will soon be meeting your baby xxx
