Am I in Early Stage of Labour?

[jennyr1985]

I may be getting excited over nothing, but Ive been having Braxton Hicks every 20 mins, and they are lasting longer and getting a bit stronger. I woke up last night around 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep because they were uncomfortable. They don't stop when I lye down either and I can feel tightening inside aswell as just at the top of my uterus. My OH has had to have an hours extra sleep and off work this morning because I kept him awake, bless.

Ive also had loads of discharge over the past few days and the baby is definitely quieter, but no waters breaking or a sign of a show yet. What does everyone think? How long does the early stage last for?

Thankyou

hi hun, i hope it is your time!!!!

have u tried a bath, if it stops u know it was just a practice. in the early stages of my labour i had a bath and took some paracetamol, in my case it just got worse!

sounds promising hun do what the others have said have a soak in bath and take paracetamol and try and rest and see what happens if it is the early stages it can last a long time especially on first baby so try and get some rest xxxxx

sounds like labour. Dont worry about no show, i kept waiting for a show and didnt get one untill i was almost fully dilated. go fo a walk to speed things up but dont tire yourself as you will need your energy for later.

Hey Everyone!

The Braxton Hicks have slowed down, but I had a bit of a show today. It was just a streak of blood but I think thats enough to make me think it may happen soon - hopefully!! Im getting more of a sickly feeling now and groin pain. I will keep you all posted!!!

Hello! Just an update, I keep getting loads of aches at the top of my legs. My body is having a clear out! I have pooed (sorry) at least 8 times in the past 24 hours, even at 4am this morning! I saw the midwife this morning and she thinks Bean will appear this week, shes getting really excited, which is making me more excited!! I really hope these aches and pains progress into labour.

I hope everyone is well, and I will let you all know what is going on. Im getting more and more symptoms of early labour, my midwife even wrote early labour in my notes, I will keep thinking positively!

Love Jenny & Bean
