I think my labour may be starting

[stumpyjoe]

After my sweep yesterday I had constant period type pains in my tummy and lower back and I bled a little bit. I took a couple of paracetamols and went to bed and I've actually managed to sleep. However, I've just been to the toilet a large blob of bloody mucus has come away and I'm still have the pains in my back and tummy.
I've taken some more paracetamol and come back to bed coz if this babys coming I'll need my rest. What do you think ladies? Is it the start? I'm getting nervous... It's what I want but it's still scary...

Sounds encouraging! Good luck!

sounds like it worked to me too! yay... good idea to get rest while you can and don't worry you will be in very good hands.. once you're in labour you will find you just deal with it and you will probably be much better at dealing with than you expect yourself to be. good luck, stay chilled and keep us updated x x x

Hits ladies well I had a few extra hours sleeps - the painkillers must have worked. Since I've woken up there has been non stop mucus - lovely! I've had a shower and lunch. The pain is still there constantly but then I'll get a stronger pain in my back and my lower belly, and there is a little pressure in my bum, I think they may be contractions but they aren't regular. I've not rang the hospital yet and I'm sending the husband to work at 4. He's doing a 4 till 1 shift. I've asked him to turn down any jobs that will mean he has to go a long way away but I doubt he will ha ha.
So fingers crossed this may be the start of a long labour.

As soon as hubby is home - well tomorrow morning we are going for a walk and I'm gonna bounce but I don't want it coming on too fast until he's home. I'm still having loads of mucus everytime I go to the loo - it's like my virgins has a bad cold ha ha
