Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm getting a bit of prelabour, for the last two nights now I have had "episodes" of what feels like a BH, but accompanied by a band of pain in my pelvis region.

In my other pregnancies, I never got this, my BH's were just a tightening of my belly with no pain. Plus at this late stage of pregnancy, I'm guessing its not unusual to have a little bit of prelabour.

My midwife is already worried that I will labour really quickly this time - not sure why - my last (and first labour) was a total of 13.5 hours, from first contraction to birth - but from active labour, it was about 5 hours.

So for those that had some prelabour - did it lead to a short labour? Or was your labour still reasonably long? And how long did your prelabour go on for? I'm expecting this for a few weeks at least I guess?
