Im 35+2 with DC2. DS was born at 29+5 after my waters broke spontaneously, and so I never experienced the build up to labour, and so this is all new to me!
For the past few days I have been feeling naseous and have a very thick white discharge. I started with cramping yesterday tea-time, but felt like more of a shooting pain across my lower abdomen rather than a pulling feeling which I have read describes more contractions.
The pains have started to come back, feeling like a dull period pain, both front and in my back. Baby has been head down for a good few weeks now, although my MW check last week showed she still wasnt engaged.
I have a growth scan on Tuesday as she has been measuring bigger than average throughout the pregnancy.
The pains are coming and going, but are not regular from what Ive felt so far. I did think Braxton Hicks, but have read that they are not supposed to be painful?
