Pre labour niggles ...

[Sugar10]

I know ive done this before but each pregnancy is different!
Just wondering how everyone that's close to full term has been feeling. Or anyone who's just had a baby.

I will be 37 weeks on Friday, and have been having niggles making me think baby is getting ready! (Which obviously he is and could still be weeks!)

Baby's head engaged 2 weeks ago. And not budging. ((But im measuring behind, and I honestly don't think he has enough room and had no choice but to go down. See midwife again Tuesday))

Lots of contractions,especially when I am active,but no regular pattern. Lots of discharge, gooey discharge.

Lots of bum pressure feeling the need to poo all the time! And feeling sick!

Back ache

And my sciatic pain in my groin has been worse these last 2 days, it floored me just today! I've had this every pregnancy and when it's been at its worst it's been right before labour - maybe baby has gone as low as he can go!

Also I was so shattered with being anemic and fed up, but about 10 days ago I started extreme nesting loads of energy and feeling good then today just feel so tired like i used to. .

i know its just a waiting game, but Its keeping me occupied symptom spotting!! Ha ha x

Yesterday I felt like I was going to poo a baby out and thought id dropped, bump pic today showed i hadn't at all and the horrible back/leg pain from yesterday had gone so baby had just been sitting on something I think.

So you could either have a baby sitting really awkwardly longer term or like you say really dropped, your bump looked very much lower last time I saw your bump photo. If it helps my bump has got higher each time, I think due to my section scars, youve had yours naturally havent you so baby could pop right down there?

Feel for you as I didn't know what to do with my back yest xx

I think your bump photo today looks lower? But you're so neat anyway! Oh maybe you're right and you go higher towards the end because of your section scars. I had mine naturally yes so baby can tuck well down there and no doubt stay thee for weeks! :/ arghhhh.. My bump has definitely gone lower though and feels lower again now. But i am days away from full term anyway so all this is normal I guess! I'm excited to start properly , I still have a feeling its soon. But maybe it won't be just thought I'd see how everyone else is feeling just for fun! We'll all be holding our babies soon! Eek! X x

Sugar I'm the same however being a ftm I think I'm about to go into labour with every pain and ache. Have had lots of braxton hicks with pain (kept me awake until 5 this morning), lots of pressure, back ache, period pains, going to toilet at least 3/4 times a day and still nothing. In fact I now think I'll end up going over

I think with all your niggles though you could go soon, fingers crossed you do x

I'm not even gonna start on my niggles, I'm doing my own head in with moaning about them. I feel your pain hun!

Bubbles, sounds promising that you'll be soon! kumber it's awful isn't it! I should learn by now to ignore these niggles but I never do, I still get excited thinking it 'could' be it! Just to be disappointed when it fizzles out!

oh colleen please have your baby! and no niggles doesn't mean much, I either didn't have any with my last pregnancy or because it was my 3rd I just ignored them! Hopefully you will Just fly straight into labour! - this week! x x
