Baby moving all the time and having pains...labour starting?

[Julia]

Hi ladies

My stomach feels really weird tonight but I don't know if I am just panicing....the baby is moving around much more than usual and I am having pains low down every 40 minutes or so. I am trying to stay calm and ignore it but you know as well as I do, this is virtually impossible. I am also having lots of wind down in nether regions!!! What do you think?

Maddie was doing a lot of 'burrowing' the night before I went into labour - it was certainly uncomfortable. I lost my mucous plug the following morning, then went into labour that evening.....

Good luck!

Hope you get to meet your little one soon Julia, sounds promising, very exciting too.

I'm starting to get impatient now, i keep on getting pains in my lower back and lower bump and what feels like my bladder. Also getting Braxton hicks & period type pains on & off but nothing concrete, I really wish he'd come early!


Let us know how things develop.

Hi girls and bumps,

No news from me!!! I am having dragging period type pains most of the time now which makes me feel like I am going to have the runs (but haven't). I think it is just things preparing for the birth. The midwife said that the head is engaged so it could be anytime. Feels like a life time!!! oooohhhhhh - I am having that weird "runs" feeling now as I am typing. I will keep you updated....
