Early stage of labour?

[ALBW]

Hi! I'm currently 39+1 weeks with my first.

For the past few days I've noticed an increase in discharge (clear and sticky), lower back ache and a cramping feeling at the front.

Baby is kicking a lot but I can feel a lot around pubic bone/just under it which can be quite painful! I don't believe my waters have broke or that I have lost my mucus plug.

I'm also feeling a lot of pressure around my pelvis, feeling very tired and needing to go to wee a lot!

Does this mean labour could be near?
If anyone has hd the same symptoms, when did you go into labour?

Thanks in advance x

Sounds like it’s imminent. I had a lot of discharge right at the end, when the head engaged. Your back ache and cramping could be the early stages of labour. I felt my contractions in my back and thighs much more than my belly. Things don’t always kick off with waters going, mine did with DC1 but I think they told me it’s about 1 in 10. When do you next see your midwife?

Awww these symptoms can last weeks tho had them with all of mine

Oh and the waters on all 4 never broke till baby came out to. I hated the feeling like they were sitting in my fanny. The twins was the worst fairly early on aswell

Not until the day after my due date!

Not long now I'd say.

Same due date here OP - watching every twinge now! Hope our babies come soon 🙂
