For most of the weekend i had cramping quite low down. I read somewhere online this is the cervix ripening. Well the cramping stopped yesterday around lunch and didnt start back up until this morning. Its becoming rather annoying but obviously this is what my body is supposed to do.
How long were you cramping for before labour actually started? What other little niggles did u get?

I was in pre labour for more than two weeks before ds3 arrived. Very frustrating but good to know something is happening!
I had bouts of pre-labour for about 3 weeks before DD2 was born. for me, they were tightenings and her shifting up and down and around and around lol. i hope that they are not getting too uncomfy xx
well they disappeared after me getting up moving around which was kinda nice, but it woulda been awesome if they led to something more!
thanks for the replies :) always good to read other experiences!
i have cramping/BH's all the time lol, can mean things are close but then it might mean nothing too lol i had BH's with DS from about 33 weeks and he was 2 weeks late lol...
i wouldnt despair too much though that have tapered off. it is a cliche but all that cramping etc is doing some seriously awesome work in getting you, your body and your beautiful baby ready for the Big Event. I saw it as a gentle introduction into the big changes that baby is going to experience and that thought would make me smile each time :loveshower:
can you tell that I'm clucky lol?!
lol @ clucky ... I know the cramping is all prepping for the big event, just wished it led to something more hehe
Oh well - not long to go :)
