Contractions
Been having contractions since Sunday evening, started and stopped then started again this evening and so much more intense this time, getting really hard to cope with at home but don’t seem to have a pattern yet. Some 5 mins apart some 2 mins. Squeezing my birth comb, squatting at the side of the bed and rocking, trying to breathe through them but it’s getting tough. When do I phone the hospital??? My MIL has a 30-40 min drive to get here to watch my first born then we’re a 30 min drive to the hospital 😭

I would definitely phone your MIL now and then phone the hospital just for advice! Better safe than sorry

4D scan 25 weeks anterior placenta
Had a 4D scan today and it was amazing! This is my 4th baby and I can honestly say it still amazes me! His efw is 1lb 12oz 😳🙈 and his head is very comfortable in my ribs whilst I get kicked repeatedly in my vagina 🤣

First birthday ideas?
My partner, my son and I live with my in-laws (hopefully not for too much longer). I’m sooo stuck as to what to do for our son’s birthday in November. We can’t have a party at the house, my in-laws just aren’t those sort of people, plus they have quite a few dogs. We wouldn’t invite enough people to justify hiring somewhere so that’s also off the cards. Any ideas? Really want to do something special for his first birthday.

Period-like pain
36+5 weeks today and I keep getting period type pains but there's no pattern or increasing intensity so I'm assuming they're not contractions. My bowels have also been a bit funny the last couple of days, looser than normal. I had nothing like this with my first baby and I'm also suffering with what I assume to be pelvic girdle pain. I have pain in my groin and I'm struggling to stand up, walk and go up and down stairs.
Is this what it's going to be like for the next 3 weeks? Or have people experienced this and labour has followed not long after?
