Thanks for reading, I’m 36+1 and the night before last I was having awful back pain, I’ve had a lot of pain in my back and legs so ignored it. Yesterday morning I’ve got really bad period pain it last all day, it’s like it peaks and fades but never really goes away. I try timing it like contractions but they’re all over the place.
I rang the midwives who told me to wait til they are closer together 5 mins? Then I ring again when they are and they said I would have more pain than I did. It was really uncomfortable but I wasn’t doubled up. Sorry for too much info but also passed some gloopy type stuff clear then brown.
Now today it’s all almost gone away just feeling uncomfortable and achy. I’ve got a midwife app tomorrow but I’d just be interested to hear what peoples thoughts are? Am I in some really early stage of
labor? Just sitting at home with my mum can’t stop thinking and thinking!

Sounds like you lost your plug, Tbf I went three more weeks after I lost mine (32 and 35 weeks) possibly combined with brackton hicks.

Is baby still moving as much?

Well he was going crazy moving yesterday but today much quieter! I obviously want what’s best for him but I thought yesterday was the day and now nothing. I’m just a bit scared I’m not looking forward to hospital and leaving my 3 yr old. X

I would say Braxton hicks. Which technically is your body preparing for labour but not nessesailry a sign that its imminent. Try and get some rest

Sorry just saw your update. If you have reduced movement go back to the midwife. We were told to ring maternity triage if that happened and the one time I was worried they bought me in immediately to double check it.

Deffo ring the midwife again and explain what you've explained here plus reduced movement!

LittleMG · 27/04/2022 15:41

Thank you so much for your replies. It’s not really reduced movement, today is more normal yesterday he was moving A LOT more.
