I've been having really bad pains throughout the night. No regularity to them yet, and severity varying. The pains dut across my lower back and the underside of my bump. It's difficult to know if my bump goes hard because my bump is always hard- it's rock solid because of baby's position. I can nearest describe the pains as somewhere between a period pain and a poo pain.
My midwife has always said I'll know labour pains when I feel them- they'll go all up and over my bump. Well these pains aren't going all up over my bump, but they're certainly wrapping round my lower half . They're not constant, not regular, but occasionally need a bit of focus to get through. Could they be something worth getting excited about? ( being induced tomorrow at 12 days overdue do I'll know from the CTG machine then!!)
