Evening ladies,
FTM here @ 34 weeks :) yesterday around midday I started experiencing bouts of significant abdominal pain- starting at the top of my bump and then spreading all across it and my lower back. The pain stopped and started a couple of times with 5-10 min breaks and then stopped completely after about 3 hours.
I rang triage and the midwife advised me to take some paracetamol and ring back if it was still bad after a few hrs. Paracetamol didn't really help but just made the pain a tiny bit more bearable- the first bout I couldn't stand up straight and found relief leaning forward onto the bed or table.
Does this sound like early/latent phase of labour?? Today has been pretty uneventful. Still haven't lost my mucous plug etc.
