I am all confused. I thought when I went into labour I would just "know" it was time.
I am 39+5 due on saturday, last night before bed I had painful contractions about 4/5 times, once I was in bed they stopped and I got some sleep. I woke up 2 times for my usual middle of the night wees but after the last time my tummy started contracting again. I have been getting braxton hicks when I walk and sometimes whilst resting for the last couple of months and this feels different.
I got up just now as I was in pain lieing in bed, I went to the loo as it felt like I had poo related stomach pains. I had diarrhea and now y tummy feels a little better and the cramps have stopped.
I am not sure if this is maybe a tummy bug or the beginings of labour. The baby is angry, he hardly ever moves these days but after a couple of the contractions he moved himself from side to side and kicked lots which is unlike him.
My DP is asleep, I don't really want to wake him as he has work tomorrow. I am supposed to go for an ultrasound tomorrow morning at 8.30 (it's 3.45 here now) I would be going alone on public transport and I am worried that the cramps might return and I am also worried if i do have a tummy bug it would be very unfair to go somewhere with lots of pregnant women.
Should I cancle my scan?
