Possible labour?? 38 + 6

[Mullroii]

Okay so I know I can phone the Mac unit but I can’t get through at the minute and I’m not overly concerned just looking for advice

A couple of nights ago I started with on and off back pain also before I start I feel I should but tmi warning just in case.

At about 2pm today I started with these twinges nothing too bad but I had to stop walking (they literally lasted seconds) and I’ve also been having tightenings (again lasting a few seconds) but then I had two long tension/ cramping? Feelings across my lower bump each lasting about 10 seconds (again not painful but I had to stop) I have back ache so I laid down and baby was moving like crazy and I was getting all sorts of pains from kicking feeling in my cervix (baby is head down) to feeling like my vagina is bulging to feeling like I’m leaking (it’s clear liquid but I’ve had this a few weeks and been checked out it’s never been waters) … it’s coming and going the pain and twinges

So my question is this the start??

Thanks for any help

Edit to also add

I’ve just had maybe a contraction I can feel it in my lower belly but also a pressure in my butt.

Exciting!! I’d definitely say these are signs of something beginning to happen. The first stage can take days though so try and get rest when you can.
Good luck

Oh thank you so much :)

I just didn’t want to get my hopes up if the answer was something like “oh it’s normal at this stage”

I have my Fingers crossed though Thankyou

:)

Good luck op!

Yep I'd say deffo!

Try and sleep and go eat something too!!!

Thanks everyone I’ve just had a nap and things seemed to have stopped so just ordered a curry from the local tandoori 😂

I’m hoping things will start up again soon

:)

Good luck OP. Enjoy your curry and hopefully a full nights sleep before things ramp up properly.
