Is this labour starting?
I'm 38+3 and since yesterday I've had terrible backache and the sort of crampy feeling you get when your period is due. Today the backache has become a really intense pressure in my bum (!!) and I've been having strong contractions - but not regular ones. They've been coming anywhere between 20 minutes and 5 minutes, but not really in a pattern.
No sign of waters going and not had a full show, just random bits of mucus over the last couple of weeks.
I was induced last time so not sure how labour starts when you go naturally.

Good luck!
The contractions got to 4 minutes apart in a really strong pattern until 1am. They were painful but bearable so I decided to try and get some sleep in case I had a long night ahead, but by the time this morning came around they'd stopped.
I feel a bit cheated now!
Hopefully next time it'll be the real thing!

second was spontaneous, no signs just full blown contractions every 4 mins
third and fourth waters broke 2 days before labour started
