early stages of labour ( pre labour)

[tan32]

Have just gotten back from hospital, def having contractions every 15 mins, but the pain is in my back, my cervix is very soft, open at the front aittle but inner is closed if this makes sense.
So im home to just wait and see.

Thinking of you , I hope all goes well.

Sounds like everything is going well, Tan! Take care and we'll look forward to seeing your announcement soon

I went into labour when I was 34w6d, and DS was born the next day. Sounds like you're going to be similar! He was absolutely fine, spent only 24 hours in SCN, and has reached all his milestones at the average age etc. Good luck with your labour! I had the back pain too, whatever you do don't let anyone tell you to lie on a bed, except for monitoring. Walk around, use the bath and shower, hands and knees, and if you need to rest lie on your side. I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see the BA

That sounds promising! There is definitely a lot of wait and see during pregnancy!

Yesterday we had to drive to Brisbane (2hr each way) and last night on the way home I was getting strong BH, but today nothing so far... I am thinking that once we get closer if nothing is happening a long car trip could be good!

Good Luck Tan, hope everything goes well

Thank you all, Im still going and things are slowly getting stronger now. I cant sit still so went out with my MUm today as staying home waiting was driving me nuts, we walked around the shops and things def moved along, ive just had a shower the water helps my back and Ive had a nap to catch up on sleep but im now in the process of making sure everything is ready for me, bubs and the kids, i figure DH can survive on his own if everything is sorted

Im still hanging in there, this morning it feels like everyhting may have come to a halt.
My back pain is still there but has eased, i still feel like something is happening just have a weird unsettled feeling.
If i still feel this way later this arvo i guess i will make another trip in to the hospital, i just want to make sure bub isnt stressing out.

Tan, that's great if things have slowed down. Just take it easy hun, and try not to stress about your bubba, I'm sure he's fine
