One quick question for all you mummies not far off. Anyone having intense braxton hicks and period like pain? I think its all probably normal pre labour stuff though it happened last time at 37 weeks not 34 weeks! X

Primal mamma, thank goodness! I feel more at ease hearing that it's not going to be as painful as a regular epidural would be. Lavieenrose, good luck tomorrow! I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Kitkat, I have the same issue and what I have been told since your body been thru it before it's more "experienced" and knows what to do, so it starts earlier?

I've was having a lot of pressure/pain in the pelvic area the past 4 weeks. Went to the dr Monday and in not even dilated yet!! I'm 38 weeks. The past 2 days I've been having a crampy feelings in my lower stomach and back but no contractions/Braxton hicks yet.

I'm 40 weeks Saturday and have had Braxton hicks since like 30 weeks. Recently they have changed into intense contractions that I swear have been the "real deal".. only to find out no. Lol. Kinda disapointing. Midwife says bc it's my third baby its VERY common. Also I'm only 2 cm dialated and she hasn't even dropped yet (also common in 3rd babies to not drop until labour). Feels like these contractions are for nothing sometimes.

Thanks ladies! I'm really smitten with him. But, I'm obviously biased.

Lavie...can't wait for news. And pics!! So excited for you.

And try not to get down about the cramping/contractions and dilation. Experienced moms are much more likely to feel them (I had about 6 weeks worth). But, when my water broke and I was checked at the hospital 4 hours later...I was 1cm!! I progressed from 1-pushing in 2 hours, 20 minutes with no meds or anything. Just walking the halls. Bodies are funny that way!

Best of luck Lavie! Can't wait to find out!

[BlessedMomma]

Good luck to u lavie!
Kitkat I'm experiencing Braxton hicks as well. I had my 36 week check up and I was only 1cm. I know tho dilation means nothing about when labor Wil start.
Rosie congrats on your pregnancy!!
