So I check my cervix semi regularly (well, DH does, when I have a particularly painful twinge etc) because my sons active labour was less than two hours and it happened very fast. He’s never felt my cervix before today, but after having some intense back pain and lightening crotch, I got him to check and he said it’s very soft and 1-2cm upon checking. I’ve been having the typical symptoms that people associate with baby preparing for labour (low back pain, baby dropping, baby’s head presenting VERY low on my last growth scan etc)
Anyone else experience this and go into labour shortly after? Super excited to meet our little girl and wondering how long most people notice dilation starting before baby showed up!
Still getting cramps and back ache, nothing that screams imminent labour but it feels like maybe she’s getting close to it now, since it’s just different to the pains I usually get
