I know this feeling is normal.

Since yesterday I've had the achey feeling low or maybe period type ache low down. I've not slept very last night and my lower back aches this morning too. But it also feels like I need the toilet. I've been going to the toilet so I'm not sure what it is. I've midwife at 11 today so will speak to her.

Am I right in thinking this if it is the start of things can go on for anweek or so? Before anything kicks off?

Hi

I had very similar feelings for the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy. When things did kick off there was no mistaking what it was.

Just relax and try to keep comfortable as you can.

Try not to go too far from home either

hope you're ok

it sounds like slow labour hun i was in it for a week with lesh befor anything happened it can take anything for a few days to week or 10 days!
hope shes here soon for you xx

sounds what i had for a while, could be baby as moved down and the need to go to the loo is that she is pressing bladder, i had this when he was moving down too.

but yeah def mention to mw, sounds like things are moving forward

thank you. Her moving is rather painful at times too spec if my tummy is hard from a BH.

It seems to have eased off a bit now i've been out. my back feels fine now.

i felt towards the end that he was grabbing my pelvis bone and twisting it, which sounds strange but thats what it felt like, glad you feeling a bit better,

I had this from about 37 weeks, and I didn't have him till 42 weeks :/ Tis a bit uncomfortable I hope she gets here soon for you xx

I had this for a while but I always felt like I needed to go to the toilet for a dodgy tummy when I was in labour as he'd turned and I didn't realise they were contractions in my back

Well I've been pretty much ok today.

Been to the midwife and baby has turned round! so no wonder i've been having so much pain. thankfully shes just turned the way she was facing and not breech.
