How exciting Andie...its getting close!! With my second pregnancy, 5 days before I was due, I had period like pain and lower back pain for a whole day and didnt think it was labour. It started around 11am. I thought nothing of it until 9pm at night when the pain was coming at regular intervals...every 15minutes. I went to bed and slept on it and was woken at 2:30am when my waters broke. Lucas arived at 3:30am...that was my experience of some mild period pain that turned into labour!! Good luck. Your body is getting ready!
