Hi all,

So I'm writing this, I went to bed last night around 11/12 feeling quite nauseated, was having mild cramping, it was going on through most of the night but I didn't eventually fall asleep until 3/4am where I was back up(toilet break) still having cramping period style, so come downstairs and watched a film more quiet as our little boy come to join us in the middle by the time I thought is this a pattern it slowly fizzled down and I fell back asleep; waking back up around 9am with yet again the period cramping!
This went on for a good few hours sat on the yoga ball but wasn't getting what I was feeling are contractions like no pattern just that constant dull ache in the lower abdomen/ womb!
So I decided to go on a cleaning spree which took my mind off everything because i am slowly going crazy, between everyone asking us when she coming (like I know the answer) and do you think you go, to the odd pain or could it be!
Is this a start of labour? Currently sat in the bath to see how things progress really. This is my second child, but I was so exhausted on my first after being induced, I asked for the epidural and headed to sleep so I missed the run up and having epidural I couldn't feel the mild contractions as he was back to back everything was happening there and was only suffering with pgp mostly through labour!
Any advice would be good I am a little clueless, my plug has been coming away for a few days now I just don't want to feel like an idiot ringing to see if this could be it and then laughing back or something like I should know 🤦🏻‍♀️!
Thanks guys any comments will put me at ease!

May I also add I am 39 + 1 today too! Might be a good start!

OMG I'm the same! 39 + 1 and been having period-like cramps for days! Not regular though.

I'd get checked just to be on the safe side - I've heard it can be the start of labour! All the best Thanks

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one in this boat!!!
I'm holding on for something to say yes it is but it's just come to another complete holt like why!!!!
I'm going to see how it goes I have the midwife Thursday and I'm supposed to be having sweeps at 40 weeks but see if she will give me one Thursday as I had early ones on my first for induction
So bloody stressful bringing these joys out hah! X

@Sar1520 any appearance from baba? I'm passed my due date now and still no sign 😂 must be far too comfy

Sar1520 · 02/12/2019 01:56

No bloody sign yet!!!
I'm officially past the due date, had a sweep yesterday's everything's all good and ready, even two cm dilated and could feel the head think she's just a stubborn one, I have another tomorrow before being induced Friday, if I don't get too fed up along the way haha!

Any signs for you yet?

Hi lovelies. I know this isn't the right thread as I'm new to this, had a MC on 27th September and lasted until Halloween night. DP and I have been trying to convince since then but no positives yet. Today I went to the bathroom and had a spot of blood inside a mucus sort of looking sac?? Has anyone had this and then tested positive? Implantation maybe? Or am I just going mad

Newmumma83 · 02/12/2019 02:58

I had period cramping for about 4 days prior
And plug started to come away around then too ( Monday)

So could be the early signs based on my experience

Good luck ladies and congratulations

tigerfeets · 02/12/2019 13:42

Being induced hopefully today! Shock did not expect it at all!

Best of luck xxx

Boymummy3 · 02/12/2019 14:34

I had these types of pains for about 2 weeks before my 2nd made his appearance 1 day after due date. Fingers crossed your sweep will work x

Sar1520 · 02/12/2019 18:48

So still nothing guys another sweep tomorrow afternoon maybe that will get her moving or straight in Friday, but if just keep thinking at least something will happen this week, my induction was only 2 1/2 days long from start to arrival on my first that was 40 weeks exact so, maybe it will be roughly the same at 40 + 5 if needed to be done :)

Hope you have your beautiful baba soon! Sending good vibes Thanks xxx

Sar1520 · 07/12/2019 12:23

Baby arrived promptly at 3:59am! She made a super speedy entrance and it was insane and overwhelming weighing a lovely 9lb exact all swollen from her fast delivery but she is doing amazing!

How are you coping ?
