Signs of early labour or am I overreacting?

Sounds like the early stages of my labour with my first! I would make a note of what's happening and when, how long for, etc. All the best!

I hope this doesn't sound dumb, but in my experience with my first, it really doesn't matter. I would definitely rest up and take it easy regardless 😊 and obviously stat aware of warning signs. But when it's active labour, you will definitely know. I think I drove myself insane my first pregnancy by reading too much into every little thing I felt from 37 weeks onwards. My daughter was born at 40 + 5 weeks 😅 it's so hard to NOT do it, but in reality, it made every day worse for me I think and I couldn't enjoy the time. Then when my baby did finally come, I couldn't believe that I thought all those little niggles meant something 😅

Hey lovely. I have this exact same thing I am 37 weeks. I also had this right up until I was 40 weeks in my first pregnancy. I think it's pretty normal, I believe that when you are in labour you will just know. However you know your body more than anyone so if not sure go and get checked. Xx

I've been having these symptoms for the past 2 weeks! Started at 37, I'm 39 + 2 today and still no sign of progression. So it could be something or nothing. Best thing is to rest and ignore until actual contractions start.

Update: I think I must have just strained my back bc it all went away with pain relief and I was able to sleep for several hours so maybe I did overthink things 🤣🤣
