Hi Veronica, after reading your post it is amazing how quickly you forget the uncomfortable last month of pregnancy - or in my case 5 weeks as I went 5 days over!

It's hard to tell if you are pre-labouring or not as i found that everyone experiences different things and for some it is and for others the same symptoms are just a pain! The tiny bit of blood could have been your mucous plug? I didn't see mine but blood streaked mucous is often one description given.

The period pain could be things starting but having said that I got period pain on and off from about 38 weeks (wracking my brain here) and i didn't go into labout until 40+5 weeks. The aches and pains I can't help with as all I remember is being achey all over. Belly was tender everytime I moved, especially down low with all the ligaments stretching and my pelvis getting ready.

I hope for you that it is pre-labour but don't forget that that can also last for weeks. Good luck and I hope you meet your little girl sooner rather than later - love the name you've picked also, very pretty.
