Early labour???

[Kaboomba]

I don’t know if I’m just being a drama lama or it’s all in my head because DH is away for a few days but I’m 35 weeks pregnant and woke up with menstrual type cramps that have eased off now but I’m getting the occasional painful twinges in my stomach along side lower back pain. The back pain is staying for about 10mins and then going and coming back maybe a half hour later.

This is 2nd pregnancy for me but I never got to experience going in to labour with my first due to reduced movements and ECS.

I know I may need to phone the midwife but I know they’ll tell me to go in but I have my DS with me and don’t want to upset everyone’s day by having to organise my DM to have him if it’s nothing at all.

Oh and so as not drip feed I had an episode of reduced movements last week but all was well, haven’t felt him moving around a little this morning but he’s more active at night so not concerned.

Bump

How are baby's movements now?

He’s been moving about ok, I did manage a nap this afternoon and he was kicking away then. Painnin tummy is back again but lower down now

I'm 35+4 and I have had on off period cramps and tummy pain for a couple of weeks. I've also had a couple of episodes of reduced movements which I've been to delivery suite for.

I think the cramps can be quite normal but they can also be a sign of a problem so I would ring in. Especially if you have noticed any change in movement. I know it's a pain with another DC to think about but not worth the risk x

I know, I’ll give them a ring just now, my DM should be finished with her clients I would think so I can maybe pop along. I’m seeing my consultant on Thursday for section date so will also say then what’s been happening. Hope all goes well with you and baby and you’ve not too much longer too wait x

Good plan. Hope everything goes okay for you guys x
