Slow Labour

[sarl1967]

I think this is this right name 4 it - as anyone had any experience of this - IVe had no plug loss and no waters going ( dont think anyway seem to have small wet patches sorry if TM I but dont think its my waters) but for the past few days have had Period pains and aching which seem to be getting worse and at times im now getting pains in my back and hips area - after the Pre-Eclampsia scare im reading into everything just cant help it - could this be the start of something happening very slowly - im putting off ringing the hospital as dont want to waste time etc

It could be hun, just call, I've just called them this morning, really didn't want to but whats more important - you and baby or possibly wasting midwives time? You won't be wasting time anyway and you have to put you and baby first. I'm away to get checked out its probably nothing but I'm sure they'd want to keep an eye on you too! Let is know

I called the hospital - they said everything is normal - the period pains etc said pain on my bump sounds like contractions but could be Braxton Hicks but with that and pain in hips and period pains sounds like early labour - but the problem is they arnt close to time or anything and she says could go on for days even weeks - to take paracetamol and have warm baths until i get in established labour at 1 min apart - so guess we wait They make u feel so stupid

Sarl I was like that a few weeks before birth but 2 days beforehand all those pains and aches were more intense. So it definitely sounds like your getting ready for it.

It could be your body getting ready....ligaments stretching more. I too have had period pains which I just put down to the head moving about down there & stretching everything. Also getting hip ache (I've just posted a new thread on this actually!) not really sure what it is, but mine hurt 1st thing in the morning for a few hours then during the day I'm fine. I had this with both my other 2 also about this stage but I pretty much had them at 40weeks give or take a few days. xx
