Ok so DD was induced and it took 4 days for the induction to work and then onto synto straight away - so I have never just "gone" into labour - and she was 42 weeks and I didnt get any form of Pre-labour either...

So this bub feels different! I know bubs is head down and engaged - not sure how engaged as my OB didnt write it down - but for the last few weeks on a daily basis I get this feeling like bubs head is WAY down and I feel as though any minute there is going to be a pop and something will trickle out - there is SO much downwards preasure! I really get worried that my waters may break! It will happen for an hr or so and then go away for a bit and happen again then go for the rest of the day.

Today at work I had it again and I had to stop and lean over a cabinet as the pain was intense and it was all up my back and the preasure was huge!

I get dull period type pains in my lower tummy some times too - but they dont last long and they go.

I never got BH with Bella either (well that I could feel!) but know I get them alot of and on during the day and night...

So a long winded question...is this just some pre labour?? How long can pre labour last for??

TIA
