Prodormal Labour at 39weeks

I'm 38 weeks and tonight I'm having the most discomfort I've had so far - extreme tightness across my belly and aching back. I feel like this is the start?!

Yes I had for a few nights and a couple of days before the real deal 🫣 and I mean painful ones 🙈 x

I’ve had this since last weekend, I’m 37 weeks today and it’s driving me insane 😩 I get really painful lower back pain that tingles and it spreads to my lower abdomen! My belly tightens and I get strong period pains. The midwives at triage said it wasn’t anything to worry about and just told me to look out for more painful contractions that become more regular. It’s been so on and off since last weekend so god knows what’s happening 😂 I literally can’t even walk around either as the pressure down there is insane causing horrible lightning crotch!

yep i had this from 22nd august and i then started to have back pain on 24th august i then ended up in hospital on the 26th august as the pain began getting worse to which they told me i was only 2cm dilated then i felt the contractions/cramps everyday until 30th august where they got even worse i began timing them but they felt irregular still so i left it then 2am on 31st august they got more stronger and i rang triage and they said to try rest so i did then they got even stronger at 5am and i went into hospital and i was 4cm dilated and they took me to a birth room then by 10:30am they had to break my waters as they wouldn’t break on their own and then by 12:52pm she was born and she was a healthy 8lb chunk🩷
