hi all, just a question....

Did anyone else get pre labour symptoms and how long before they went into labour?

I've just recently (this past wk) gotten pelvic pains (feels like I've been bd'sing too much and hurt the front of my pubis), my hips feel clicky and were actually clicking when I walked a few days ago, now it's just a feeling of walking weird, I can't spread my legs properly without a twinge or two...bringing them together does the same thing....My BH's have been frequent thru this pgcy but recently they've been ramping up, lasting longer and getting a little more uncomfortable. I've even had to breathe thru a few of them. I feel them pulling bubs hard against the cervix. I've been getting backaches a little more and DEF got a LOT more discharge down there (sorry if TMI).
I feel that the birth is getting closer (maybe a week away)... But DH tells me I've still got 4wks and that this all happened with my last one but I can't remember it!!! (was induced early and kat hadn't even fully engaged due to pre-eclampsia).

I'd truely like to know roughly how much longer I have to go? as I'm having fun trying to cope with a 11m.o baby and do everything I've gotta do with this all happening. I even have to stop in the middle of things till the BH's fade at times.....

Please, if you had these symptoms and can recall when they started ect, can you give me an idea of what to expect?.??
