Signs of labour with twins?

[Littlegemx]

Hi guys,

Me again🙄27+4 weeks with twins!

Anyways, these last couple of days I’ve been having period pain type cramps, backache alongside some mild braxton hicks, diarrhea and increased amount of discharge. (This morning found some of my plug had come away &yes I’m aware it can grow back)

The braxton hicks tend to (don’t always as I’m currently having some now as I write this whilst sitting down) stop when I relax and sit down (have 3 girls who are 4,3,&2 so doesn’t happen often) however they happened all night last night alongside the period pain type cramps, To the point I was woken up and spent most of the night awake, as I just couldn’t settle. They are regular but have no pattern whatsoever. (probably have about 6-7 within half hour)

I am nervous that labour will be starting soon so looking to see what your first signs and symptoms of labour were and if I need to start packing my bag. Due to see midwife& consultant on Thursday (28 weeks on Thursday) so will be mentioning this to them too.

Thankyou for reading this far lol x

A bit of diarrhoea was my only sign at 34 weeks.

Given that you're only 27 weeks, I think you need to get checked over ASAP really, as all your symptoms could indicate labour starting.

Yes 100% get checked as soon as possible

@Littlegemx I didn’t even realize I was in labor with my twins (my first) I felt like I had wet myself a little bit as one of them was always on my bladder no pain whatsoever at this point this was Thursday early evening early hours Friday morning I was having really bad back and couldnt get comfy in bed next morning the pain was still the same so phoned mw as I was only 36wks she said to come up and get checked so this is Friday afternoon at 12-1ish little did I know 12.40 Friday night I would be having a csection and babies was born 12.08-12.09 saturday morning
