Pre - Labour?

[Traveller]

Just a stab in the dark here, but did the pressure and pain start after your cervix was examined? It could just be a little irritated from being prodded, depending on how gentle your midwife was.

Traveller - no it was happening before hand. I think its just bub getting lower down and I have never had that feeling with DD.

[Traveller]

Cool, does sound very much like pre labour then. Here's hoping you will get a lovely VBAC in a few weeks

Your body is getting ready!
I was induced with DS too and didn't have much of anything happen prior to that, but it was different this time. All sorts of pressure down low, pre labour etc. I still went well past my due date, but actually kicked off myself. Hope it happens for you too

I get the pressure too, I just put it down to all the extra blood flow, sometimes it feels like my vagina is going to drop right off.

I put it down to the extra blood cos my bub is still breech and isn't engaged at all (obviously!) I'm getting period pain on and off too, and what feels like a small contraction (well the same feeling I had with my contractions last time) so I guess we're just warming up for the big event!!!

Here's hoping you go early or on time this time around, and here's hoping I go at least a day over.. LOL

Sorry to hi-jack.....My question is about the same topic .

I feel like i do the day before AF would visit, and have had the low dull backache for a few hours now....Although I've been what I consider to be 'nesting' heaps more lately, I've had a sudden urge of energy for the last 4-5 days.....Is this sounding like pre-labour to anyone out there?

Oh yup I agree with Traveller. Sounds like some pre-labour Things are starting to loosen up more now too with the relaxin hormone so it can get ouchy in spots you didn't know you had! it's all a good sign, but it sounds good to me
