Hello everyone!
I'm 34 weeks (and 5 days) pregnant with my first child.
Last night, I started getting tummy pains, didn't think anything of it, every sort of half-hour/45 minutes. Nothing major, just gripping "period" pains in my lower tummy.
This morning, I had a bout of the runs, and I've just checked my underwear and they're a little damp.
I'm still getting tummy cramps, there's not really a pattern, as such, still the same as last night, really.
Should I be worried about the onslaught of labour? Should I call the hospital, or should I just grin and bear it?
Obviously, being pregnant for the first time, I feel very naive about the whole process, how do I know I've had my show if I get regular discharge? How do I know my waters have broken, if they 'trickle' and not gush? How do I tell the difference between bad period pains and contractions?
HELP!!
Thank you, in advance, for any advice!
