Hi I'm sorry for another one of those 'is this a sign?' Posts 😅
But I'm 40+2 and have been having this really dull heavy ache in the bottom of my belly today it's getting stronger but its the kind of pain that comes but lasts a while and goes and it's not 'contraction'-ey. It's the kind of heavy ache/cramp i get when I'm about to start my period. I've also had a lot more lower backache than usual thats come in waves but I've literally had 0 'signs of labour'. Wondering if anyone had any similar experiences?
Slightly hoping I go to sleep now and wake up having contractions 🤞🏻😂

Sounds like early labour to me. Either way your body is getting ready. Goodluck 🤞🥰❤️

I’ve been the exact same all week! I was due the 5th of June currently 41+1 with my second so praying it’s the start of something as I was induced with my first so have no clue how labour starts naturally🤣waters still intact, no distinct contractions and mucus plug still intact🥲

Was the same for a week or so, the last night really uncomfy, lost mucus plug and slight bloody show, had some on of contractions which came today at one point every 8 minutes. Died of now, but I think tomorrow evening, well Monday early morning when the moons new my labour will be fully here. or she will be here.
If your having what your having now, I can imagine it will ramp up for you in the next few days, mine did! Fingers crossed for you!
I actually haven’t had sex, done any wife’s tales in labour the last day or so I’ve just said to myself she will come as I was getting annoyed with the teasing contractions. Now I’ve relaxed I believe I’m nearer xx

Il also say I’m now having the odd contraction so something will happen soon but no proper pattern again.
Hold tight your baby will come soon ❤️

Had this and went to Triage and it was early labour contractions
