worst period pains at 38 weeks

[laurenwiltxx]

Been going on since yday and getting worse, I know I'm getting tightening but I really am unsure of what's going on. It really hurts and goes dull. I can feel it in my thighs. Any one had this? Was it beginnings of labour.

Sounds like labour!

My early contractions felt like bad period pains! Good luck x

aka labour.

Yeah period pains usually are the start
Good luck

Ooo sounds like labour. Call maternity triage. Good luck

why don't you think it's labour? (we REALLY need a knitting emoticon)

Ah OP, that does sound a lot like labour. How are you doing?

Yep! Definitely sounds like labour!

My labour strated with increasing 'period pains' and then pains down both thighs!
Good luck if it's the start!

Ooo birth thread!

Sounds like start of labour

Definitely labour, I had a wee heat pack on my tummy at the start (was induced) then switched to "breathing", then gas and air, boom, done. Heat pack to baby in 5 short hours.

Labour.

Exciting!

Still in pain, called birth centre, they want me to wait till it gets worse before I come in but abit of plug has come out now so hopefully I wont drag out for too long!!

Is it toe-curling yet?

Good luck. When you get further along you'll probably forget to post on here as your mind will be busy with the contractions.
Hope you have an easy birth experience

Have a fantastic labour and birth!

Good luck

Good luck - I'm mega jealous. I'm 38+4 and desperate to go into labour before I'm induced at 39+6!

Good luck op.

Wonder if op is snuggling her baby yet!

Fingers crossed this will be me in 16 weeks!

It's always nicer to have baby early than late. So fx you will be lucky too afresh

Hope so! Closet I've ever got to due date was 39+4 so I'm hopeful!

Hope you're doing well op!

Here's hoping No News is Good News. :) +
