So Iāve experienced an hour of weird pain with some discharge (consistency that Iāve not gotten before and it was almost clear) yesterday evening.
I thought that could be my contractions starting and remained calm and just tried to walk around. I couldnāt really sit down as thatās when the pain got intense.
I then went to the bed thinking that this may be one of the sleepless night as I was expecting probably more pain to come through. But nothing happened and Iām back to normal with no pain like nothing happened.
Iām 39 weeks now so Iām kinda ready that baby can come anytime. But Iām very confused as to what I could experience yesterday, do you think it could be contractions, Brixton hicks⦠š¤

Probably bubs moving further down. I had something similar followed by hours of contractions, and baby was very very very active, so went to hospital to get checked out, despite having contractions ever 3-10 minutes, nothing was happening, cervix still closed and long and then eventually the contractions went away. Now I'm 2 days away from due date and still nothing is happening, apart from very swollen legs (I look like a hobbit), and waddling all over the place. Since baby moved further down I cant sit anymore because its sooo much pressure on my pelvis, can't lay on my back because it feels like my spine will collapse, and laying on my sides hurts. So I am also sooo ready for this baby to be born. š
If you are concerned at all though, call triage and talk to them. I found them very helpful :)

thank you āŗļø how long your initial contractions lasted for when you went tot the hospital ? Was it few hours ?

@Nikolet it was, they started at around 1am, we got to the hospital for 6am, then they let me out by 11am and they stopped at around 1pm. I also had some contractions at 36+6, and those lasted a few hours too.
Now I just a few sporadic ones here and there, and sooo much pressure. But other than that nothing is happening.
