I really should know what's happening as this is DC2, but panic is setting in so need some people to chat to! Should start by saying I'm 40+2 today!
I've had stop / start contractions since Monday, usually every other night but pain is probably a 2/10.
However I was woken up at 3am with backache and have been timing since. Contractions are like a period pain In my back and moving round to the front every 5 mins. Been trying to get back to sleep but can't - less about the pain and more that I'm panicking. Just been to the toilet and wiped and have had my bloody show. I'm having a bit of a meltdown about doing it all again (very traumatic birth with DC1!) and also getting parents to come and pick my child up if it's all a False alarm, coupled with not wanting to leave it too late - arghhhh!
