Pre-Labour? (TMI ish)

[ladybird11]

Ok, so every now and then I'm getting the dull ache in my lower back, accompanied by a feeling like I am just about to get AF, and a little crampy too. I also have a tendency to 'leak' (sorry TMI part) every now and then too, but its not 'wee' , and the best I could describe it is really watery mucus. Its only small amounts, but happens often enough to annoy me! No blood or anything.

I've had a huge burst of energy for the last week - I've recommenced doing Body Attack (albeit low impact) and am nesting big time too.

I've never experienced BH with either of my other pg's - that I know of anyway.

I am experiencing pre-labour? I'm 32 wks according to my OB (more like 33 in my opinion lol).

This isn't a race you cheeky girl! :P

I guess it lasts for around 20 - 30 mins at one time (the pains) and then they leave, usually having a lay down helps it subside - but it only happens maybe 2-3 each day. I'm certainly not stressed about it, kind of happy that my body might just be gearing up for a much hoped for VBA2C!

Hey hun, are the pains coming after you've gone on one of your exercise rampages?

It could be your body's way of telling you to slow down a bit?

Do you think the watery leak could be your waters? My friends waters never broke like mine, I had lots of gushing but she got a hind leak where she would get a wet patch in her undies that gradually got bigger. Maybe you should call your hospy. You might be having your baby Good Luck

Hey hun sorry I missed you thread... been away

Is you belly tightening at all with the cramps? What I thought were BH's ended up being ctx, my belly would tighten and it looked like that bub was pushing out in one position, the same way each time .

If you want I have an amniopad here, you can use it to test is what you are leaking is amniotic fluid or whether it is just extra leukorrhea, I am happy to get it over to you if you want it, really simple, just wear it like a pad, then whe you have fluid on it, let it dry out and depends on the colour depends on what the fluid is

You are going to FT missy
