It's baby #3 and I'm 37 weeks and having some new experiences compared to my last two babies! With my others, my first real sign of impending labour was my water breaking - at 38+5 and 38+4. This time I've had quite regular painless braxton hicks for a while now, but they seem to be getting lower and more period pain like - they'll stop me in my tracks! They aren't regular or anything but I'm assuming this is just pre labour? I've also had quite a lot of bowel pressure and some diarrhoea yesterday... So does this sound like pre labour? Is it because it's my third? Likely to last for a few weeks? Any thoughts or experiences welcome please!
