Ok, well I know no-one can predict it, but I guess just want to reasurrance that all is heading in the right direction. I never had any labour (nor prelabour that I am aware of) with DS, so this is all new for me.

Is it true that labour can just happen? Does it just turn up at any old time and then increase in intentsity?

I am just on 38 weeks.
The past 2 weeks I (TMI ahead) have noticed changes. I have been needing to pee often, I have had an increase of cm - of which I have had none through most of the pregnancy. I have had loose stools - and going 1 -3 times a day. I get sudden random moments where I think I am about to be sick. I have had a change in appetite - i am interested in healthier food now and not junk like I had been
I have been quite nesty - needing to get all the house and everything organised and I am having bursts of energy, and then some days tired.
Oh, and my boobies have been starting to get moments of feeling tingly like back in the first trimester.
Im not really experiencing much in the way of BH, though I did have alot of them in 2nd trimester.
The osteopath told me that in the past few weeks since he last saw me, baby has moved down - so this correlates with the 'changes' I have been experiencing. M/w and Obs havent told me anything - I feel they almost just assume I`ll end up being in for another c.section

Thats pretty much it, I think that all sounds good, but I could be still going on for weeks yet couldnt I?
