Could labour be soon?

[LaurenMM]

I hate asking this because I know it could mean several things and I hate getting my hopes up lol. Been having some horrible period-like cramps along with backache, frequent bowel movements, increased dc and more BH over the past few weeks. Today though, I've felt LO move ONCE and thats it. Shes normally very active. Also feel so sick today and really really sluggish and tired I'm gonna call fetal assessment this afternoon if nothing improves. Just feel silly once again, I was in on Sunday night cuz I thought my waters had broken and was admitted last Monday night due to bleeding Also had loads of BH today, I dont usually get them a lot. There's no pattern and theyre not painful as such just definitely more frequent. Me and OH dtd about 9.30pm last night and I woke up twice and both times I had very strong BH. Could this be a sign things are close?! xx

Oh blimey I would deffo call your MW and check it. It could be the early stages. Maybe u should bounce on a burning ball and see if that wakes up
Baby? Good luck

Could well be the beginning of labour, although I have to admit (sorry!) that this phase lasted for several days with my first baby, so doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be in full blown labour any minute now. Have you tried some paracetamol and a warm bath? If you're worried about your baby's movements, I would have that checked out anyway, irrespective of what else is going on, and I don't think there's any need to feel silly about it at all. After all, making sure your baby is ok is what you are meant to do as a mother...

Try and have something sugary and a cold icey drink to see if it wakes LO up, if not id call the hospital after all thats what they are they for. Keep us posted hunny x c

I've heard that baby movements can slow down as labour approaches!!

Let us know how you get on!!

 

[LaurenMM]

Finally got through to them, the woman just said to have another drink and eat something and lie down on my left side for an hour and count her movements. I told her I'd already drank something etc she said that I should lie still and see if that helps.
