Labour symptoms??

[Kayleigh565]

Sorry this post might be quite detailed but I've been having little pains in my back and abdomen for the past 2-3 weeks, had a small bloody show on Friday it is now Saturday evening, small bit of mucus plug came away today and my boobs started leaking today aswel and now ugh thrush!! I'm 35 weeks pregnant I was wondering is this signs that labour is close

I’m finding distinguishing between labour symptoms and late pregnancy pains...
I’m coming up to 39 weeks, mucus plug has slowly started to come away I think but that doesn’t really mean labour is close.
And I’ve had leaky boobs from around 18 weeks! So not a sign of labour for me.

Everyone seems to have different experiences before labour. I guess you can only see what your own labour symptoms are once you’re out the other end!

Annoyingly your plug can start coming away weeks before! And the pains sound generally symptomatic of late pg too. Equally, as cati says, everyone’s experience is different so it could be signs for you! Maybe give your MW a call? X
