    For what its worth, I am in much the same boat, with random tightenings and menstrual like pains waking me in the middle of the night....the nothing. I too have no sign of my mucus plug, no waters, no nothing!

    Yep, its starting to drive me crazy too.

    Good advice from Tobily, I try to just keep dismissing it as my body preparing and not get too excited- but that's really hard!!! As Tobily said, I figure when we are in full on labour, we will know it! Im just trying to keep busy till then...

    Good luck and hope it all goes well for you! Sending labour vibes.

    Hi Hayden_Sam_Adam
    Unfortunately Tobily is right. This sort of thing can go on for weeks. Personally I think what you are experiencing is BH contractions. However don’t get disheartened the painful ones are a good sign that your body is starting to get ready to go into labour. Also not every woman will lose her plug before going into labour, and some women do not even notice their plug come away. Also your waters do not always break before going into labour. A few years ago I attended a birth where the baby was born still in the membranes.

    I didn't even realise I was in labour until about 2 hours before bubs was born...lol. I never lost my plug (or didn't notice it) and my waters didn't break, hossy did that... Alan, my DS 1 has a friend who was born still in membranes and has pics which he said look really cool...lol.

    Ooooh treelo hopefully she will be having her bub soon
