Hi Ladies

Im new to the site and wondered if i could get some help?

Im due on monday and have been having massive braxton hicks all day. They are now getting painful and up until about 3 hours ago were constant. Althought they are not at regular intervals they are coming and going now and are accompanied by lower back ache and shooting pains down below and I kind of feel like they are in by bum aswell. Im now gettng hip ache and what I call hot face...kind of like when you get off the spinning bike after thinking you're at expert level when really you should of stayed at beginner level!! haha

Does this sound like just normal niggles of late pregnancy or should I be starting the car?

Hi babe i noticed no1 replied to ur posts and just wondered if u did have to start the car or if baby was just being naughty?

It does sound to me like early labour but them Braxton hicks can be a nightmare for decieving you. Hope ur ok

Thanks for the reply, although we stayed up until gone midnight waiting for them to start getting a pattern, they tailed off around half 11 so it must of just been the curry i had for my dinner, hehe

I've had all the symptoms before but not all at the same time until last night.
Just wishful thinking I suppose

Thought I was gonna have baby last nite when waters broke but it was only back waters (didnt even know there were 2?)

Hope your not too dissappointed, keep thinking it cant be much longer x x

if you're worried contact labour ward. how did things go for you in the end?
