because I actually can't remember the last few weeks of pregnancy (or I didn't get these feelings with Tyler)... but are period type cramps just normal part of pregnancy or is it a sign of labour starting - albeit slowly, or could it be either?

Also feels like bubs is real low but my bump isn't any lower so dont think he's engaged but my pelvis is so sore it's uncomfy to sit and drive normally in the car, its not as if I can drive with my legs spread out but it feels like there's a head between my legs lol. Is that just normal pregnancy wear and tear - body preparing for labour sort of thing?

I have a niggling feeling that bubs is going to come sooner rather than later but I still can't get motivated to do my hospital bag... or speak to my pediatrician see if she will dliver the baby isntead of the crazy hospital doctor I got lumbered with last time :/

hmmm I had Izzy at 38+3 and tbh I dont remember anything, my bump just sat there and BH werent painful

Maybe its BH but I know they can hurt a bit

I had pains/cramps/braxton hicks the last few weeks of pregnancy. Just keep an eye on whether they become regular or become more intense.

My bump also felt low and really uncomfortable, sometimes it really would feel like his head was ready to come out. He was a week late though.

Get your hospital bag sorted anyway, sounds like your body is getting ready

I have BH as well but not painful but actually havent had any the last few days (I don't think) I know if I even mentioned anything to my doctor (the drama queen) he would have me stay in hospital lol

ahhh I'm gunna do my bag later just in case and use this as an excuse to not have to do anything at all for the next few weeks (she says sat on her laptop while OH is cooking dinner.... again HAHAHA)

When I had bh it was like a tightening of my tummy. But for me labour is what your describing.

way to scare a woman babymilly haha

well before I had a period cramp AND a BH... that got me worried into sorting my hospital bag out haha. I think Im prob just over reacting and hoping things are starting because I dont wanna have to feel like this for another month

just keep an eye on the regularity of the BHs and cramping...if it becomes more and more regular then time them properly and keep moving hope that bubs stays in for a bit longer though and well done on getting hossy bag ready

I had the period type pains with Lily (not Aimee), so im sure its normal. I didnt really get my pains with BH either x
