How do you know when real labour starts?
Hi.. I know ive asked many questions about this topic.. but what I dont understand is ... Do the labour pains start with a sharp pain?.. or is it more gradual....
Im getting so nervous and every twinge I have makes me wonder whats happening..
So is it like a sharp pain that starts all of a sudden (in the night say for instance!).. or a more gradual pain feeling?
Sorry if this seems like a silly question.

I know is seems daft but you will notice the difference. are you getting any practice contractions? how far are you? xx
Ive got just over 4 weeks to go but ive had diarrhoea and period pains for the last 2 weeks (on and off with period pains)....
Ive also been so hormonal and teary.. but nothing's happened. Its obviously a bit early yet anyway but im just trying to be prepared...
Cant wait and getting impatient.
Thank you both so much for your help!.. Really appreciate it.
Ive had braxton hicks.. and just the 'once' I had a seriously bad pain with one.. which came over like a wave from the back to front.. I though this was real but its not happened since...
Can i be in the slow start of labour at all do you think?
xx
Pen.. so glad your out of hospital now! and sorry to hear youve been poorly.
Just as well they are keeping a good check on you daily!..
let me know how your getting on... you've certainly not got long now anyway.. so hopefully it will all be over soon.
if your 37 weeks.. your baby is very well develped anyway isnt she/he?
ill keep you up to date with any of my progress!!

thanks for your messages. i was quite worried about my baby possibly coming at 36 weeks. but hopefully they will discuss induction on friday for me as my blood pressure is going up. today it was 140/98. so keeping a close eye on it.
i know of 2 babies that were born at 34 weeks and 36 weeks. and they are perfectly healthy as well. it's just scary when the doc says to you that there is a possibility of babies lungs not being developed enough. but i am sure all will be ok. i'm 36 + 4 weeks now so not long til i can have baby. take care.xx
