So as the title says i’m 37+6 and Thursday night i had what felt like just tightenings through the night on and off, not pain just uncomfy and at first felt like the baby’s bum hardening all the time - now i think it was BH happening.
But last night about 2am i started getting really bad ‘period’ type pains, round my belly, in my lower back and top of legs, lingered for about an hour and died off. Fast forward to 9/10am and they came back and have been happening all day long - alongside some BAD lightening crotch pains. The period pain is manageable but can be quite strong but then goes dull. My waters have not gone but i do feel a little out of sorts too, when i get some of the pains i suddenly go red hot and start sweating? then 15 mins later i’m really cold. My appetite has done downhill too. So, what i’m asking eventually is - Could this be the start of something?? Has anyone else’s labour started like this. I really am fed up and hoping any sign is ‘it’ haha!
