I'm 37 weeks & 3 days with my second baby. First baby had no symptoms (aside from a show a week earlier), one day contractions just started & that was proper labour.
For past 24 hrs my back has been really really sore (can't sleep sore), I've had constant nausea & the weirdest part is feeling like I've got a bowling ball (or something equally as heavy & hard!) trying to come out! My vagina feels sore & swollen, my inner thighs even ache & my lower tummy/top of pelvis is really tight & uncomfortable.
Is this just cos I have no muscles left inside after dd1 (naughty mummy should have done her pelvic floor exercises) & I might be in this much pain & discomfort for another 3-5 weeks or does this level of discomfort & baby so low usually mean labour won't be long away? I've not been able to sleep much past couple nights as just can't find a position that's not painful & don't want to resort to taking painkillers now when have lasted 37 weeks without any !
Still feeling lots of kicks & have acid reflux too, both of which are confusing me as I was under the impression you only get these when baby high ??
Can anyone help ?
