Pre-labour symptoms? What were yours?

Hi everyone!

I'm 37+5 today and soooo done! Hmm

The last 2 days I've felt really nauseous like 1st trimester style but worse and constant need to poo. It's loose but not the runs. I thought it might be coffee as I have one every morning but it's not been like that before a few days ago. Also a bit of back ache right above my bum. And I've been super emotional (even more than normal) and cried twice over silly things. Had a teensy bit of cramping but it feels like when you need a poo cramps rather than menstrual. Is this pre labour does anyone think? FTM so really don't know what I'm looking for. What were your symptoms and how long after did little one come?

Thanks! Smile

Mucas plug came away at 37+5 and then I felt really ill the day after, very tired and nauseous. Period pains at 38 weeks and waters broke in the early hours of 38+1. Had her that evening.

I’m 37 weeks tomorrow with DC2 and getting to that ‘done’ stage too!

Back ache definitely. An intense need to clean.
Lost mucus plug

Very very bad back ache can remember the night before labour I was in so much pain with back ache I couldn't move. I was very constipated during pregnancy and my bowels opened up within the week before labour. And I was VERY emotional, I can remember laughing for about half an hour straight and then crying straight after Hmm
