Baby was due on Saturday and still no sign however yesterday I had a really achy lower left leg and today both of my arms are the same. It feels muscular, as if I have been exercising, but I definitely haven’t been!!
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Not sure if it’s prgnancy related or just coincidence but I’m feeling really uncomfortable.

Hi OP, how are you feeling? I’m 40 + 1. Not had the achey limbs but thought I’d say hi as we are in the same boat. I did have a feeling that baby was pressing against a nerve yesterday but that sounds different to the pain you are describing. Maybe worth giving the maternity unit you are booked in with a ring?

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
Still feeling achy today and have just burst in to tears for absolutely no reason! I’m thinking it may be a sign that things are happening but not sure.
I have an appointment for a sweep tomorrow so will ask then.
Have you had any signs yet?
It’s a very weird ‘in limbo’ feeling isn’t it?!

38 + 4 here. Everything hurts. Can understand the legs:hips but shoulders and arms hurt too! I am having tightenings sporadically but not regular nor intensifying. We had s false alarm about a week ago but baby changed its mind. On full alert! Heat isn’t helping as I find I get more sore if I’m not active. Simply can’t go out in that heat.
