I'm 39 weeks & 3 days. I've had braxton hicks for a few weeks & the last 2 days I've had cramps like period pains on & off and been really irritable, i've noticed in the last couple of hours they've been roughly every 15mins for about 30-45secs.

Is this the beginning? I'm not rushing off to the hospital just yet but wondered if this is perhaps the start!!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Could well be???
Are you alone?

It's so different for everyone, it's hard to know.

My contractions were very obviously contractions from the start, all 3 times.

They came over me like mini waves.

Are you all prepared, bag packed, etc etc

Great. Well in that case, relax, have a nice bath and an early night, just in case.
How exciting.
Enjoy
