Ok so iv had pre labour things happening for weeks now, tightenings, cramps, diarrhea etc
Last MW appointment bub was engaged some what.
Last night i could not sleep i had the worst period cramping iv ever had,it felt constant but also felt like it was coming in waves ,and each wave made me need to go to the toilet as i had a major huge urge to go we and go number 2's ,i felt an extreme amount of pressure down all that area.

I only ever did a little wee each time but it killed to do so hurt so bad, i also had some brown streaks on the toilet paper ,guessing it is my plug coming lose or did come lose

I finally got some sleep early this morning and it started all over again, really bad pains ,lower back pain, needing to go to the toilet bad, i feel there is so much pressure down there against my vagina and bum..
I cant get comfortable they or it or what ever it is really really hurts, i can feel it down my legs too,hurts to walk to lay to sit ,everything

i feel so sick as well

Is this early labour or still pre labour ? and why does it hurt so much already lol i feel awful

Soundd like things are really working for oyu! If it isn't labour then your body is really doing some excellent prep work! If your contractions get worse and longer then it's labour, if they don't get worse then it's probably not.

Good luck

it wouldnt hurt to go and get checked out to see if you've dilated...then you'll know if you're in labor.

looks like you are due anytime

all the best

It sounds like things are really happening for you. Early labour can go on for days so try not to get too excited yet and rest while you still can. A trip to the midwife now is likely to result in a response of "you are not in established labour yet, take 2 paracetamol and have a bath or a sleep" so you may as well just cut straight to the chase and do that!

Sending lots of labour vibes your way

I hope this limbo eases up or else things really kick off soon!! Maybe have a word with your mw/Dr and see if they recommend taking some panedeine forte - with DD my mw gave me some to help ease up the pre-labour so I could sleep, and she also gave me some tamezipan (sp? a sleeping tablet i think!) but she did warn me that once real labour kicked in neither would have much effect - silly me left it too late to take the tamezipan and so I just succeeded in making myself really groggy!

Oh Shell, you sound like you're feeling like I felt a few days before I went into labour. I know I've already said that in another thread but it really does sound like it could be happening soon. Watch out for a sudden burst of energy and feeling good because labour will be VERY close. Good luck Shell. I really hope this is it for you. You are handling it so well xx

contractions every 3 mins since 5 pm

**AliBaby** · March 3rd, 2010, 07:12 PM

You are in labour girl!!!! Have you rung the hospital.

**CinderToriella** · March 3rd, 2010, 07:22 PM

I rang a couple of hours ago,she said to stay here for as long as i can and they like the time of contractions to be around the same time each.

They are getting so much stronger,keep being sick
