So turned 40+5 this morning, lost my mucus plug yesterday and all night I’ve had tummy pains but they aren’t period cramps as such, I’m wanting to go empty my bowls but I can’t yet, and the pain is horrendous it’s kept me up all night. Anyone else experience this before going into labour? A lot of lightening crotch more then usual too but stays for much longer then just a couple seconds

I had this exact same thing, but didn’t turn out to be labour for me unfortunately. But with how far along you are, def could be the start of something. Lightening crotch is where baby’s head is positioned I believe, but if you have cramps as such then def track them

I’m 40+2 and I had this all day yesterday but haven’t lost my plug. Feels like lots of pressure on your bowels don’t it! Woke this morning to a mild back ache and pelvic ache on the left to and having a lot of white thin discharge compared to the last few weeks.. hoping labour isn’t far away x
