I’m two weeks away from my due date for my second baby.

My bump dropped weeks again and I feel so heavy.

I’ve had braxton hicks day and (all through) the night for about a week now.

Last night they became pretty intense and I thought this might be it, Alas they calmed down and now I just have low level cramps and a very wriggly baby.

I just feel exhausted. I’ve not had a show nor have I lost any of my waters (that I know off)

I have some much pressure and the cramps and movements are so painful now.

Is this a good sign or do I have weeks of this left? :(

It all sounds very positive. If you feel up to it go for a long ish walk today. Find ways to release oxytocin, funny film, lots of cuddles, etc etc.
Your baby will be with you soon xxx

I'm 39+5 and have no inclination of baby arriving anytime soon. My bump dropped weeks ago and babys head is deep in the pelvis midwife said, especially after the shooting pains I've been getting. I've also been getting Braxton hicks for a few weeks but nothing yet! I'm also exhausted and thought it may be happening as had a few on off period type cramps but still no baby.
Unfortunately you may have weeks of this left as mines been going on for nearly 2 weeks now :(
Hopefully it happens soon for you!

Oh no Ejmay90! I really feel for you. At least at 40 weeks you can have a sweep and hopefully get things going? It won’t be long for you now.

Thanks for the suggestions BeMorePacific. I’m going to take my little one out shortly for a walk - I’m hoping the rain will put people off and the park will be quieter!
