Pre labour cramping?

For the last 24 hours I've been experiencing mild to medium period like cramping in my belly and back. I'm 39+5. I also had it a couple of days ago but it subsided. It is consistent, it doesn't come and go like a contraction, and it doesn't go away with rest. Could this be labour starting? Did anyone else have this, and if so, how long after did labour start?

Please don’t get fixated on this. Everybody’s body is different.
I have had these symptoms for about 2 weeks now with one night of false labouring. Convinced I was in full labour. But I wasn’t.
Try and relax and zen yourself.

Ive had braxtons for weeks and ive found they have settled abit but i keep pulling a muscle in my tummy now instead and it lasts ages, last night i did it as i was rolling over and i was literally having to breathe it away

Ive also had pain in between my thighs (google called them adductors) i havent had it before and this is my 3rd so i just think each body has its own way of demonstrating its getting amped up

Ive also noticed when im hungry i am RAVENOUS and i am eating tonnes then i cant eat for hours lol

Good luck to you x

Birthday garden party 1 week before due date?

We have been invited to a garden party 1 week before my due date. We only know a few people going out of around 30. I'm having an elective c section at 39+4 so 4 days before the event.
Would you attend?

Scheduled c-section

Hey mamas! I’m scheduled to have a c-section on September 24th. I had an emergency c-section with my son but I was put under and obviously wasn’t aware of what was going on. This time since it’s scheduled I’ll be awake and I’m really nervous about it. Any advice or anything to maybe help calm my nerves? I’ve heard about how you can feel the pressure and tugging and it really freaks me out knowing I’ll be awake while someone is moving my organs around and pulling out my baby 🙃
