Could this be it? Or am I mental?????

[Brianna]

Hey all I know I should probably know after already having one but this pregnancy has been so different at this stage compared to the last I thought I would get some advice so here goes, I started having what felt like contractions yesterday at a friends house and we started timing them at 3 to 5 mins apart but then I have been having bad braxton hicks and thought it could maybe just of been that intensified cause of the rbl tablets I have been taking, anyway this continued until I went to bed at about 9 and then I had the most restless night it was awful no matter which way i turned i was constantly in pain, and it felt like bubba was pushing against me downstairs to get out, now this morning I had what felt like one very big painful contraction and now just having dull backache that's coming and going, am I going crazy??? am I reading too much into everything???? Sorry if this was too long

B- Things sound like they are happening wether that be labour or BH (which is your body preparing) Most of my contractions both times were back pain. Do the pains go away when you walk around??? BH usually go away when you move round. are they regular pains???

I hope for you its the start of labour. GL

[Brianna]

No the pains are still there no matter what I do, it's making life very uncomfortable as you could imagine lol If it is the real thing I hope it happens before or after sunday cause that is dd's bday!!! I keep feeling the need to go to the toilet and the tiniest trickles keep coming out and I have no appetitie I just feel really blah!!!

It sounds like labour to me.

I was very "blah" before DS was born and had a crappy night's sleep the night before.

Brianna, I just noticed - your DD was born on the same day as my DS!!! Happy Birthday to them this weekend!!

It sounds like it could be pre-labour? I would contact your OB/hospital to see what they think. The only reason I say this is because you're not quite 37 weeks yet and they may want to check you and bub out.

Evie- OMG what a small world Happy Birthday to them!!!
Trish- That's a good idea, i don't know why I didn't think of that, probably cause I'm not thinking straight atm lol
