Owchh!

I have been having bad crampy pains, enough to knock the wind out of me and cause me to cry out in pain on and off since Friday night. Not very frequently but it has been worse today. I have not been feeling myself at all and very very tired. Has anyone else had this at my stage? I am wondering whether
(a) there is something wrong
(b) I am starting to go into labour (but no show or anything)
(c) this will go on for another 2+ weeks! Any ideas?

I have been feeling exactly the same I'm begining to think it is our bodies way of preparing for the birth

yup, same here...i was totally being teased this morning...had 3 dead painful 'contractions' (thought thats what they were) 25 mins apart....had stitch for days, now tight top of bump... but its not getting worse,now practically gone.
i never thought i'd actually be wishing for the pain!!!

i never thought i'd actually be wishing for the pain!!!

I know what you mean! Every little twing I get i think, is this it? I've had back ache and crampiness all day, but think its just cos of this computer chair!

I have had this too, they seem to be getting more itense and painful as time goes on, but still pretty irregular and infrequent. I have had really bad menstural type pain with it too. I think it is false/pracitce labour. Everything just getting ready for the big day.
Hope you are ok.

Yay glad it's not just me


I'm wishing now for it to bloomin hurry up and happen ... fed up of the uncomfortable sleeping, the groin pain, the pressure, the lot!!

arrrgggghhhhhhhh


I feel better now thanks

Thanks everyone - it is good to know I'm not alone with this and it seems fairly common! Must be preparation labour pains!! Not pleasant though! Feeling a bit better this evening.

I've got a breastfeeding session tomorrow with the midwives so want to feel ok with that as that's pretty important.

Hope you are all ok tonight and that pains dont get too bad unless it's the real thing!

Loz, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go for Option c) as I've had this since Easter weekend

It sucks. I get woken up by it at least 10 times a night.

I've had this for the last 3 weeks and am STILL sat here

I am actually getting worried that I am gonna end up in tri 3 on my own cos everyone will have popped and I will still be pregnant

I think it's just normal and there's no guarantee how long it will last before labour starts.
I've just had period pains so far that are a dull ache, no contraction type pains yet.
I hope it gets better for you soon
