Early Labour Signs?

[steerpike82]

Hi,could anyone possibly please help? I'm due my 1st on monday 3rd Feb and Tuesday I had a nesting frenzy in the morning and rested afternoon. Monday & yesterday I had what I think are BH - a swelling of pressure in my uterus which takes my breath when it gets to the top & goes away again. yesterday they came in pockets and lasted till gone 1am but didn't get more intense, but left me exhausted as I've not slept well all week. Does this mean I'm on the way towards labour? I was 2/5 engaged by tuesday M/W appt. I'm really sorry for the wall of text but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere, and I'm unsure of whether to call the m/w. Thanks

When they become frequent, are accompanied with period like pains/backache and fall into a pattern of

Thanks so much, you've really helped me there! I've been getting them for quite a few weeks but I only recognised them the last couple of weeks, since LO has been so active for such a long time :) Good to know it won't be such a shock since my body has had a bit of practise - Good luck to you too, I hope all goes well!
