36+4 dull ache in stomach

[MummyToBeAgain1]

Hi

I'm 36+4 and since lastnight I'v had a dull ache type of pain in my stomach and around my private area. I managed to sleep lastnight though..

I'm currently at work and I'v had it again for past hour. I can't sit for long and walk. Lots of baby movements and braxton hicks coming and going.

Is this my body preparing for labour? Or could it be start to a loong dragging labour!?

I have a similar pain and the midwife said it's the baby's head pressing down on my pelvic bones and ligaments as he gets into position for birth. Very achy but not labour!

Thankyou for replying!

Yes, maybe it is that because it's now gone.. considering I'v had 1 child before I feel clueless as to early labour symptoms! Lol
