On monday I had a bit of a 'show' with a mucus type substace. No pain or other discharge so I didn't worry about it.

Today I've had really bad period like pains in my lower tummy and bad lower back ache. The period like pains come and go with no real pattern to them and last about a minute or so. I cant seem to get confortable at all.

LO is moving and kicking well.

I'm only 33+2 today and so worried. I called my MW who said to take two paracetomol (SP?) and call back in an hour or so to let them know if the pains have changed or are still there.

The pains are still there, although the paracetomols seem to have taken the edge of them a little bit.
I called her back and she said to go home and have a bath, and to ring them if the pains get worse or develop in to a pattern or if I have any other worries.

What do you think, does it sound like the begining of labour or not??

Glad you're ok. Did the MW say anything re the show, ie was it a show?!
Fingers crossed LO waits a wee while longer before putting in an appearance!

only just seen this thread, so sorry for the late reply.

One other tip - BH are often worse if you are even slightly dehydrated, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water.
