Hi 👋🏼
So I'm 35 weeks with a little girl, this is my second baby.
I didnt experience labour really as needed be induced with pre eclampsia with my son.

I really think Labour is on its way, I feel alot of pressure down below, I've lost my mucus plug a few days ago, I've had a really bad back (feels like a kidney infection, but i have no uti) I cannot sleep, I manage around 2 hours a night. I have been having a few light cramps but nothing consistent, my inner thighs have been aching and I'm just not feeling myself feels like I have a cold and needing go toilet at least 10 times a day 😩 I really aren't sure what's going on maybe I'm thinking she's coming soon because I'm worried about being induced again, are these just normal end of pregnancy things or could I possibly be right about labour being soon?
Has anyone else experienced this before?

Difficult for anyone else to say but if you've lost your plug then I guess so? Why not pop along to your pregnancy unit to get checked over if you're feeling a bit unsure?

I mentioned it too my midwife and she said that losing it doesn't actually matter, it doesn't really mean anything.
I would of liked the idea of going into labour naturally, I'm on high risk, so consultant lead due too hypertension

It could just be the baby’s head is really low down and putting a lot of pressure on your cervix and bladder. Sorry you’re so uncomfortable.

It might be early labour, but it also might not be.
There’s still lots of time to go into labour naturally though, so try not to worry about induction until you have to.
