I had BH for a day or more earlier this week too. Didn't hurt at all, just stomach tightening and releasing. That's interesting that your OB said that it can happen when the baby engages cos I have definitely noticed my bump is sitting lower now! Hope all goes well for you!
Ooohhhh you are the same as me....i am nearly 37weeks. This is my second bub, first was induced at 41+1 and I had no syptoms at all with 1st she just didnt want out
I have been getting BH for ages now and they aren't painful but they are pretty constant. Since fri however I have been feeling quite crappy and very pre-menstrual, and today I have full blown period pains requiring drugs. I do get very painful cramps a couple of times a day but put this down to muscles stretching. And baby had engaged 3/5 but apparently has come out, but it doesnt feel like it, pelvis still feels like it cracking in half.
I would like to think this was the start, but after last time I am not getting my hopes up and am preparing for another 5weeks of niggles.........but im sending us lots of labour dust just in case.
Yes...you sound exactly the same as me....Wednesday night I had only about two hours sleep because the cramping was atroscious!!! Then on Thursday I felt fine and had a great night sleep (despite toilet stops) on Thursday night...but today - the cramping is back - all up my back, thighs and period pain but not really the BHs (just a few - normal for pregnancy I would say). Bubs moved around crazily last night - so wondering whether she has disengaged too as there was a lot of movement and I am not feeling as much pressure in my pelvis! Guess I have to wait until next OB appointment on Monday to see what she is up to. Let me know how you are going!!
Well...you won't believe it - but after four days of agony and lack of sleep - bubs backed up! Thursday morning everything just stopped!!! Also all the pelvic pressure disappeared!
When I went to OB on Monday, I said I thought she had disengaged. He had a look (ultrasound) and she has indeed disengaged and turned prosterior!!!! Can't believe it!
OB said that she must not have like the contractions and decdided to get out of there! Now I am desperately trying to turn bubs...and you won't believe it but not single little niggle!!!
She has no intention of going back into my pelvis again!!!
oh that sucks! I've birthed 2 posterior babies now, so I feel your pain if bub doesn't turn around! Good luck with getting bub to turn and your impending labour.
