Hello all,
Wisdom of mumsnet ladies would be most appreciated. Despite being convinced I would go into labour before the magic 40 week mark, here I am and still no baby! I realize this is very common for first time mothers....over the past week I've had a couple of evenings (including last night) where I develop period pain and backache and have various BH type contractions and sharp pains up the fanjo etc! Each time I think 'is this it?' but then after a few hours (usually when I go to bed) the pains go away. Have had no show or waters leaking or anything like that either...
I've been told by GP/various friends that it's the body's way of 'gearing up', but I'm wondering if this is a good sign things will happen sooner rather than later? REALLY don't want to wait another fortnight! Anyone experience this/similar just before the real deal? xxx
