Are these early labour signs? Please give me some hope!!

HI Ladies,

sorry to keep bugging ou but you know what it feels like when you are overdue.

I've been having mild to moderate period pains for about week now, mostly at night but occasionally during the day also.

Last night they were probably the strongest they have been and I think I woke at least 3 times with them. They last about 10-15mins and then subside.

The thing is I wake up in the morning and don't really get anything all day. I'll be a week overdue tomorrow. Do you think these could mean labour is on it's way? Or am I just clutching at straws?

Did any of you have a similar experience?

Hoever, at 40+10 ish I hada sweep and had similar period pains after, but more frequent and they were early labour, so it could be

Keep mobile, do some jumping jacks or something ( ) and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
