Hi Ladies!

Dont often write many posts but thought I would this time as I need your advice!

I am 36+2 and last night could not sleep at all, I then started to experience a really bad ache of my belly...continuois to the point I just couldnt sleep. I literally thought this is it....how rude in the middle of the night! lol

Hubby was dead to the world so just walked around most of the night hoping it would calm. Eventually by 4am it kinda stopped I was also really tired and eventually dropped off to sleep.

Woke up no pain, I thought great! However the pain is starting again.

This is my 2nd baby but it was 9 years ago when I had my first so being honest I have totally forgotten what braxton hicks/contractions feel like or start like. lol I am pants I know!

I just wanted to ask any of you ladies if you had experienced dull belly ache pain and found out you were experiencing labour and had your baby after this or did you feel BH like this? My stomach tightens etc and it feels really uncomfortable.

Any thoughts??

Hiya LR,

It could be what's known as pre-labour which can go on for weeks before real labour kicks in.

It sounds like your body is getting itself ready for the birth

It could also be baby getting him/herself in the right position

I would try a nice warm ath & see if that helps to ease it - if it continues or gets more regular/painful could be worth just giving your MW a ring to see what she says

Good luck hun

Xx
