Could this be the very start of labour?

Please say yes!

39+1 and as of yesterday afternoon I’ve had a sort of heavy pressure in my bum. Period type pain for the last week or so too. Then from yesterday evening I’ve had a very sharp pain over my bump that lasts maybe 10 seconds or so, although only once every 2 hours ish. Also quite tender lower back ache.

So keen to get things moving now - could this be the slightest hint that things might start to happen soon?!

I’m so glad he’s here safely, congratulations! Hope you both recover from the infection quickly and that you don’t feel too rotten! Cake

Aww congratulations on the safe arrival of your new baby!

When I had my first I wasn't allowed a home birth and because I ended up on a drip to ramp up contractions it was probably for the best.
Luckily I was allowed to have home births for my next two.
Maybe second time lucky for you op 😉

They are doing a really good job of looking after me, I feel so much better already, just exhausted! We are both being monitored closely so hard to sleep but that’s okay, better to be kept an eye on to nip the infection in the bud! Looking forward to getting home but I think we might have at least another night here.
