Another “is this it?” post

[ahhhhheckmecervix]

Sonthis evening my cervix (or what I assume is my cervix) is soooooo painful. I also feel a bit sick and keep getting sharp twinges in my lower back.

I’m 9 days overdue now and quite cranky!

My last midwife appointment (Tuesday) I was 3/5 engaged but only 1cm dilated and cervix was posterior. Can things move that quickly?

Anyone up?

Back twinges have gone... I’ve just got this pressure feeling now like I need to go number 2 or fart (TMI Sorry!)

I’m all agitated. I can’t sleep

Go for a poo if you can, might relieve some pressure. If you're getting agitated, get up and make some tea. Hopefully you can nap later but stress hormones delay labour so if this is it, you want to be as relaxed as possible. Good luck!

Hi OP. Feeling like you need to go for a poo can sometimes indicate the start of labour. Or it could just mean that you need a poo
It sounds hopeful to me, but call your midwife and see what she says. Best of luck!
