Hi all
Sorry if this seems like a dumb post
I’ve been getting period cramps the last few days, which I know means not much.
Today baby is moving a lot and I’m starting to feel sick

My last labour started with PROM and everything went a big wrong fast.

Is feeling unwell at this stage normal?

I'm 37+3 and been having some period type cramps during the last few evenings. Not sure what it means tbh but wanted you to know you're not alone on that front. I was induced at 38 weeks with my first and don't remember having any period type cramps prior.
I have to have a cesarean that's booked for 2 weeks time so who knows.
Sorry you're first labour was not a great experience, maybe you could ring midwife for some advice? Sorry can't help more

Hi. I’m 37+4 today and I’ve been feeling the same. This is my 7th pregnancy though so for me I know it’s normal and that I always feel like this at the end.

Basically I fell like rubbish every day and will until little one is born. She moves loads, punches me in the bladder non stop, I can’t sleep so am shattered, I get horrible headaches and very painful Braxton Hicks that feel like labour pain. It’s crap!

Sorry but yes it’s normal, I hope you feel better OP. Baby will be here soon Smile

And yes maybe call your midwife if you’re worried
