Please tell me labour is near

[GreenMeerkat]

I am only 37 weeks but I've been having pre-labour signs for the last two weeks now and it's driving me insane.

This will be baby number 3. Two previous EMCS and ELCS booked at 39 weeks with support from consultant to attempt VBA2C if I go into spontaneous labour beforehand.

I have lower back pain that is getting more and more painful, comes in waves but not consistent. Braxton Hicks which are getting stronger and stronger. Have the runs and feel sick. Generally emotional and very moody!

Please tell me these are all good signs? I didn't have any signs with my first two. Waters broke suddenly first time and woke up with strong contractions middle of the night second time with no previous signs!

It's driving me mental

It could be! How are things now?

Still the same. It happens daily but nothing seems to get stronger or regular. Though the runs and nausea have only been last couple of days.

Think I've just been in the latent phase for the last two weeks.
