    i am having a few, but nothing like last night, it just feels like a constant ache at the moment. She is not moving her legs much but i can feel her head wriggling really low. I feel just really wet like lots of discharge. I feel like i have dropped suddenly since last night though, my bump suddenly seems tonnes smaller but then i realised it was just pointing downwards. Maybe this is just my body getting ready early?

    Do you know the gestation that your hospital takes deliveries?

    Mine was 36 weeks and I had to go to an alternative hospital. It has been a couple of hours I would be giving them another call, as you are showing a lot of signs of pre term labour and things can change quickly, I would be getting organised to go in, make sure you have a bag packed, by try to keep your walking around limited and when youa re finished keep your legs above your head, lying down on the couch, to take the pressure of your cervix

    The dropping of your tummy definitely sounds like she has settled very low, the same happened to me after my waters broke, my labour progressed very quickly, and we had no warning, but as you have a little time as the pains have settled, I would be taking all the precautions, can someone come and be with you? Take care hun xxoo

    ETA: I don't mean to freak you out or cause worry, I have been there before and if I didn't progress so quickly there would have been a chance to stop labour and hopefully keep bubs inside for a couple more weeks, the extra time makes a big difference
