Is this a sign of impending labour?

[gertie55]

I'm 38+5 weeks pregnant today for the past 4 days I've been having random braxton hicks and very light intermittent cramping, is this a sign of somthing starting or am I getting my hopes up, I'd loveeeee to go into labour naturally

It's a sign your body is practising and getting ready for the big event. Congratulations!

Try walking a lot or bouncing on a gym ball. Nipple stimulation and sex. Dancing whilst ironing worked for me, too! (But that was a long time ago and I've learned that ironing is not for me!)

I'm wishing you a straightforward labour, not long until you cuddle your little one. Then the work labour really starts...!

I'm having exact same I am 39.5.. due on Monday. Have constant pelvic pain, BRAXTON hicks, feel in a FOUL mood ! Let's hope we're nearly there ! Bless keep us updated

@mum2boys1504 oh please keep me posted my braxton hicks have settled still some cramps at bedtime, keep checking for mucus plug but nothing tho my mum said she never lost hers with 4 pregnancies

Will do. Cramps have stopped but I've wpke this morning with extreme pressure in "that area" and other signs have been large appetite, mood swings , very emotional , stabbing pelvic pain,braxton hicks , nausea and so tired.. hope I'll be updating soon eh .. just want to meet my baby now. This is my 3rd boy :)
