hi all,

My due date is tomorrow and last night I was literally having to get out of bed pretty much every half hour to get some relief from some very strong period like pain down in my pelvic area.

I get up and sit on the toilet just to kind of release everything, but don't always need to wee. I had the same thing the previous night as well, just not as strong.

The thing is, once day time rolls round it stops. I managed to get some continuous sleep from 7.30 am til about now, (10am just got up). And now the pain is not there at all.

Why does it have to happen at night!! Cause is so exhausting, I think I almost fell asleep on the toilet a coulpe of times last night.

So wondering if this is a sign that labour will start soon - I have had no 'show' or any other symptoms. I wonder if these 'period pains' are the braxton hicks, or are they more like mild contractions? I guess it is possible that this could go on for quite a while yet?

Any opinions/advice welcome....
