is that start of labor? dont read if eating lol

[enn]

ok when i wiped this morn i had a clear jelly type stuff was only a very small amount. ive been getting i think period pains down below, tummy area and further down.

been getting the odd i think contraction or braxton not sure which but it seem sort of strong to me and went came back hr later or so. having a cupppa tea now to see if that helps.my oh has gone work. his parents are here. his dad due to go shopping in the next hr. his mum will be here will explain symptoms to her soon when she gets up. ive had about 3hrs sleep due to couldnt sleep last night.

been getting these pains etc since about 5am and babys has been very active too causing some of the pains except the period type pain. cant remember what they feel like its been yonks. but im sure its period type. contraction/very sharp pain tho i got not long ago, think 2 in last hr.

as someone said in duds topic as a reply it could be baby moving into pelvis are too i suppose with some pains.just read that

eeek! you never know

Ive had similar pains to those you describe and I told my sister. She said its more than likely the babies head moving into the pelvis. Do you know if LO is engaged yet? Ive not had a show yet tho.

Thats so weird, i have had the exact same thing the past 2 days, weird clear jelly substance (yuk i know) and really strong braxton hicks. What does it mean?

Seeing midwife tommorrow so will ask...

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Does sound like it yes, the jelly sounds like your show and you must be in very early labour.
Hope you are good luck!

I'd get in touch with your midwife if your worried hun. Your still a few weeks off your due date. I hope its nothing 2 much to worry about.

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Opps i didnt realise how far gone you were! Id give your MW a bell, having a show ealry is pretty common but they can reseal themselves again.Definitely give your MW a bell

- Oh maybe it's your show!!!

Good luck - hope everything is well. Do let us know what happens

 

[trixipaws]

i had similar symptoms about 48 hours before i gave birth, but i think some other girls had them weeks before their labours started. everyones different! but good luck if it does happen soon.
