37+2 is this the start or normal??

[FirstTM2020]

Hey all 🤗

I'm 37+2, first timer...

For the last couple of days i keep getting on and off period pain low down and my back is aching.. had a sore back for a while but usually can ease it lying flat and stretching out but now i can't seem to lie on my back because the pressure down there is quite intense.. ive been to the toilet a few times quite loose (tmi) 🤦🏽‍♀️ which is unlike me.

Could this be the start of things or is this just normal around 37 weeks.

Hope your all well and TIA xx

Unhelpfully, I would say it could be either! I had similar and didn't give birth until 40+5, but I know other mums in the same situation who did go into labour soon after 🤷🏼‍♀️ not helpful I know, especially when this stage is such a drag! All the best to you!

I kept farting and did a few softies. A few hours later I had some stinging twinges across the lower part of my tummy. My daughter arrived at 8.04 the next morning

Thanks for your replies 🥰

Im still having mad period pains and had the shits a few times 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣
