Slow labour??

[Hollz26]

Im 39 weeks and was up all last night with really strong braxton hicks that where really painful and non stop they took my breathe away and i literally thought that was it.. an hour later i got in bed as i was tired and then it all stopped!! Today my bump has just been so solid and uncomfortable and now my back is killing!! But everyone keeps sayin it go on for ages yet?? What are your experiences this is so diffirent from my first i just woke up with back labour with him and non of this false stuff!!

Wondering if things had moved along any for you hollz?

I'm 37 weeks and have been having the same thing on and off for the last six days, getting stronger each day. Midwife told me on Sunday to expect things to start happening before too long, but no sign of it turning into anything 'real' as yet.

Hi no still no change :( just woke up at 3 again with a couple painful contractions but then nothing! Its driving me.crazy im soo uncomfortable! How about you? X

Went to bed early with a hot water bottle, as bump had been tight and sore the entire evening. Woke up a couple of separate times with painful contractions. Then this morning it had calmed right down again. I'm still getting tightening a few times an hour but they aren't painful.

Every time it starts up I think 'this could be it' but in reality it could be weeks yet

Aw sounds like your exactly same as me atm! So frustrating! I forgot how tough the last fews weeks where! Im gonna go for some long walks and just keep bouncing on my exercise ball! I hope things progress for you soon! X

Thanks, same goes for you! x
