What were your first signs of early labour? I'm 38+2 and have had menstrual like cramps for the last 2 days. My back has also been really sore. Iv felt really under the weather today too and I was just wondering how everyone else started their labours and if anyone had what I'm having?

Im not much help. I had pains for 3 days and convinced myself they must be braxton hicks.
Turned out they werent but i only realised it was happening when my waters went! Dd was born less than 2hrs later. Am pretty thankful that i was in denial though.

None, absolutely nothing. My waters just broke. Contractions started right away and continued building steadily through the next day or so, though things took a while to get into labour proper. I was 40+4.

The midwife sticking a pill up my vagina to induce me!

Going to the toilet lots - went 3 times in 20 minutes and my waters broke whilst on the loo.

Similar to red expat and then period pain that came every five mins and got worse.

Same as redexpat stupid inductions

Period cramping. Vomiting.

The midwife asked me if I was okay and I said I was fine. H said that I was having cramps and she told me off for fibbing!
