Hi everyone, well, I’ve been googling all day and I’m now driving myself mad. I am 40 + 4 Weeks pregnant with my second baby (My first was 10 days early so I’m currently in unknown territory) I have been having really quite painful cramps for weeks, mostly in the evenings, they almost feel like a contraction but last ages, 30 minutes even, possibly longer, before dying off for hours and then returning again in the middle of the night or the following day. I have also been getting tightenings in my tummy, like Braxton hicks and awful lightening pains right in my pelvis. Really quite painful. I mean not as painful as full blown labour but it takes my breath away. Anyway, I went to get a stretch and sweep today only to be told the baby wasn’t low enough! After having been told since 37 weeks that baby was really low/engaged even and could come any day it came as a bit of a shock. Totally fine about it, baby is ok and that’s all that matters but I’m just too excited to sleep, too uncomfortable to go anywhere, struggling to look after my almost 2 year old and just really want to know if anyone had experienced the same sort of thing and did the labour start spontaneously? I’m just really hoping I won’t need to be induced and it’s my Sons 2nd birthday in a week so I’m really hoping the baby will come before then so that we can celebrate. Any comforting words would be amazing!!
