Thought Bumpy was coming yesterday!!

Well yesterday as I got in the car to come back from my sister's house I got a really long horrible pain which lasted until I got home (only round the corner - I usually walk it but Kev was passing )

Well it went away once I got home but kept coming back. Not in any pattern, just random.

Then (sorry TMI) I went to the loo and there was loads of jelly stuff again and I had the runs right up until bedtime. The pains slowed down and changed too, they started to feel more like grating down below.

This morning I have got up and feel totally normal So obviously he isn't coming I was just wondering - does it hurt when baby engages? I can't remember from last time Maybe this could be what the pain was?

sounds v.similar to what I've been getting, just assumed it's all part of the warm up, The pains don't feel like BHs, combined with show etc hoping it's soon! I refuse to get excited until the contractions get progressively stronger and closer together as this has benn coming and going for a week.
I've got SPD/PGP so felt a lot of pressure on my pelvis from when bump engaged and get a lot of shooting pains up my cervix too. Fingers crossed the end is very near for us both!

Thanks for the reply
I'm scared I'm not going to know when things start as last time my waters just went and by the time I got to hospital I was already 5 cms without even feeling much! I can't remember how it felt when the contractions started properly either!
I'm pretty sure the pains yesterday were him getting real low down as my bump is really low now!
How many weeks are you now hun? Sounds like it won't be too much longer for either of us

Sounds like it could be your body getting ready hun... I hope it is how exciting. We seem to have loads of labours at the moment!!!

I have been having really similar experiences in the last couple of weeks - braxton hicks seem to have changed and it does feel like actual labour but never seems to properly get going grrrr - though I did have constant pains from Thursday night through all day yesterday and getting stronger in the evening - so much so I actually phoned my mum and said i think this is it starting, so she can be on stand by to look after Holly -but then they just faded away Also have been losing 'plug' for about 2 1/2 weeks now and when I get the pains more comes out (how much is in there!!??) Baby has gotta come soon!!!

How frustrating! Get yourself all geared up then.....nada!

Sounds like something's stirring though - maybe it's just a few days away.

We're due Sunday (thank god ) so a week to go. Think it's just on your brain constantly the last few weeks, every twinge is nooticed. I got BHs for 10hours on tuesday every half hour/20mins then they just stopped. On thurs had really sore pains shooting from top of bump to bottom on a regular pattern for hours on end but again it stopped keep thinking show has been then there always seems to be more next day and my body keeps 'clearing out' just baby won't clear out!

In some ways being 5cm without knowing would be ace, half way without the extra hours of suffering but at same time it's good to know exactly where your at.

Everyone says 'you just know' (this is my first) just hope they're right!
