Hello! So I'm 36+3 with DC2. I was induced due to GD with DC1 at 38w and had no prior symptoms like the below, so have no idea what to expect of spontaneous labour and have been manically symptom spotting all week!
Here's what's happening this last few days:
- Been losing mucus plug for over a week (no blood)
- Pressure down below and increase in PGP symptoms
- Constant need to pee (like 3 times an hour...)
- heartburn symptoms disappeared - yay! Think this means she's "dropped"?
- lots of braxton hicks
- most evenings, very mild period-like ache in tummy and in lower back
Does it sound like labour could be soon? It's a little on the early side still but I am very, very over being pregnant this time!
P.s Bonus info - my mum had short pregnancies for all three of her kids, going into spontaneous labour at 36 weeks. Each of us were a full month early. I know it's not a 100% indicator but it can run in families...
