Ok so since about 6.30 last night I've been having very low down, period type drawing pains, but they are very very far apart and even though they seem to last quite a long time they don't really reach much of a peak.
Managed to get a fairly good nights sleep, woke up at 8.00 this morning then tottered to the loo, sat down and was totally unable to pee!! There was so much pressure and I had a massive - although painless - braxton hicks contraction so I couldn't relax my muscles to have a wee. It passed after minute or so.
Went and did morning stables and haven't had a twinge since - back is a little sore.
Is this everything gearing up for the big event?? I've got the usual MW check up this afternoon and I'm starting to think I've been in very very slow labour on and off since about Monday when I had four big contractions every 20 minutes before they went away. Been quite uncomfortable on and off since then but there's no pattern to them.
If I ask this afternoon will they do a quick internal and see if I'm actually dilating??
