I wish this stage of pregnancy were clearer 😭

I feel like at the beginning of Labour it’s always a bit of a guessing game!! But unless it progresses into regular pains and growing in intensity I’d just assume it’s your body preparing and general late pregnancy uncomfortableness!! Can really relate to the cervix stabbing pain it’s awful 😢

But in terms of whether it’s labour or not, waiting it out and seeing how it progresses usually answers whether it’s the real thing as it gets pretty darn intense. Wishing you a wonderful birth 🩷 x

To me, the labour will start once I get painful regular cramps similar to a leg cramp in the middle of the night. All the rest I ignore as I know it’s prego pain 😆 may lead to something but why annoy yourself with guessing. It will come when it’s time. I’m doing this for the third and last time so I don’t care if I’m overdue or earlier anymore. I want the nature to take its course this time x

I was induced last time, everyone says when its really time it will be unmistakeable!

With my first it was never really clear to me but looking back it was just a very long labour (several days) because my son was back to back. So frequency didn’t really pick up ever and the pain was bad from the beginning. This time I’m hoping to ignore and distract myself from any aches and pains until I physically can’t anymore and my partner has the responsibility to call our midwife when he feels like things are getting serious 🥲😅
