How long can i carry on feeling like this for??

[mydisguise]

Im 37 weeks and been having signs that labour is close to starting for a few weeks now.Ive been having strong braxtons, perios pains, strange sensations and pressure.

Im feeling really low tonight and desperately want things to happen more because im fed up of my body fooling me than anything. Ive got so much on my mind, different stresses etc.

so sorry to moan

Well, potentially 3-5 more weeks. Your body isn't fooling you, you are looking for signs that labour is starting which is driving you nuts. Why would it be starting 3 weeks early? Try to relax, baby will come when it's ready, and don't expect it before 40 weeks.

This is my 3rd baby.Im definately not looking for signs lol..far to busy with a 3 yr old and a 19 month old for that hehe. Im not expecting it yet, my other 2 were born within 2 days of the edd. Just really am feeling it.

thank you notjustmom xx

I am also due with number 3 and have spent a night in hospital with proper contractions - that turned into nothing, have had pressure, period pains, you name it - I have had it and still nothing - now 39 weeks! My midwife says its perfectly normal for number 3's to do this, 1 and 2 and 4 onwards fine but number 3 always a pickle is what she says! False labour left right and centre - its normal. Just enjoy being pregnant - I am - I can't bear the thought that this is my last one and I have loved every second of it! Good luck, and don't panic - enjoy looking after two - we are going to be in all sorts of trouble shortly!

thanks widget thats reassuring to know im not the only 1. Not enjoying being pg though its not been great to be honest, polyhydramnios and static growth (now resolved) 2 weekly trips for ctgs and scans every 2 weeks. ah well, heres hoping when it kicks off for us its nice and quick

widget, what were your first two labours like?

My 3rd was similar, according to my mw lots of 3rd babies are stop/start for weeks.

My 3rd labour was 2 hours from start to finsh though when it did finally get going, 13 mins after my waters broke ds2 was born so it was more than fine!
