36 + 4 - early labour?

[Leyrich]

I’m 36 weeks + 4 days with my second baby and feeling super run down and wondering if it could be a sign labour is coming

im feeling really nauseous and like i might go sick any moment
my hips and back are in agony
ive been having mild cramping that sometimes feels painful but no real pattern
pressure in my pelvis
feeling really cold and shaky
i have a headache

i had a midwife appointment this morning and she said that baby was in the right position for birth but not fully engaged so i dont think that baby boy could be coming too soon but also i feel terrible right now and its very random so im a bit nervous

i went into labour with my first at 38 weeks but i had to be induced because my waters broke and he wasnt coming quick enough and so much happened i dont really remember how i felt very well so feel like im figuring it all out for the first time

Sounds more like you're coming down with something to be honest. I'd get an early night and see how you go x

It does sound like a bug but can you check your blood pressure because of the headache? Maybe call triage and pop in to get checked out

I felt the same from about 35w pregnant..I had my elective section booked for 39+3 but prayed he’d come before that with everything I was feeling -he didn’t

Ah I am glad you posted this tonight. I am feeling the same 35+5 and I've been panicking all night that I'm going into labour. Should be having a c section at 38 weeks and I want to get to it!

Just wanted to let anyone in the same boat know that I gave birth this morning! Thank you all for your replies :)

congratulations!

Congratulations! What did you have?

Thank you! 🥰

A beautiful baby boy! 🩵

Amazing, congratulations to you all 💙 x
