More contractions/cramps when lying down? 39 weeks

[BingBo]

I had a sweep yesterday. Thought nothing out of ordinary happened since until this morning.

I woke up several times in the middle of the night with bad camps/contractions (companied with backpain) . But they were bearable and I knew if real contractions I would know (my 2nd pregnancy). So I managed to fall back to sleep until near 6.

Got up and warned DH of possible getting closer for hospital visit. Then started chores. Miracally the entire morning I felt almost normal as walking around and doing things.

Then around midday I realised I might had lost mucus plug (brown).

After lunch, feeling nauseous, I had a nap. But again I woke up with bad cramps and contraction feeling followed with frequent cramps for an hour or so.

Is this normal?

Sounds like labour! Start timing contractions, but if you feel unwell too I would go to hospital as it might all come on fast like it did with my first. I felt sick, had cramps off and on and when I went in I was only 2cm.. an hour later and I’m in agony and regretting leaving the bloody hospital

I would def go in, good luck x

I really hope it's near! Can't wait anymore. With the bump so heavy, I can't do much in the day...

Yes 32 weeks with my second and already feeling heavy! Harder second time around too isn’t it. Toddler is none stop, only chance I get of a rest is if I’m lucky enough if she has a nap.

I imagine you will be going into labour v v soon, the fact you’ve lost your plug and are cramping etc. Shouldn’t be long now!

It does sound promising!

Though, it could still be days away. I had random painful back cramps, and was woken up with painful contractions every night at 3am for 5 days in a row before I finally went into labour with my second (at 3am haha).

39 weeks, it can't be much longer now, good luck!
