Hi,
Third baby, so should know what labor feels like haha but currently in absolute agony with my lower back, had a dull ache for the past few days with period pain cramps, however today the pain in my back has really intensified and I've had to crawl up the stairs because I couldn't move, but the abdominal cramps are not as intense.
I haven't lost my mucus plug or waters, but I've been very nauseous, also had loose stools for the past three days.
I am considered high risk because of previous pre eclampsia, I'm 36+3 and no pain relief seems to be working.
I have been up in pain all night but when I've rang the assessment unit they've advised I take some codeine and see if it wears off, so they don't seem concerned.
Have too much excess fluid, and have had a number of UTI's and thrush throughout this pregnancy..
I just feel like something is off and happening, but never experienced back labor etc.
Was induced with first so knew it was happening, and with my second my waters broke at 12, and she was here by 1:30 and didn't experience no build up to it..
Just looking for similar stories or advice please.
