Sorry erinsmummy - but have I had a show too????? UPDATE!!!
Hey ladies,
Sorry erinsmunmmy - don't want to jump on your topic so to speak, but I have just logged on to ask the exact same question!!!!
I am 37 weeks gone (and so things could quite feasibly be starting to happen!) - had contraction-like pains every 5 minutes or so for an hour on Saturday night, and then yesterday morning had a browny coloured discharge - which I've not had at all during the pregnancy. It wasn't fresh blood, and since then I've been having backache type pain every ten to fifteen minutes on and off. And I've also had some more discharge today, with the odd speck of fresh blood.
I'm not so much in pain, just quite uncomfortable - baby seems to be pressing its head very far down into my lady bits (sorry if tmi!!), although the head started to engage about 3 weeks ago, so this isn't an entriely nerw sensation!! And when these backachey pains do start, I feel a bit better if I bend over/squat/generally move around.
Was just wondering whether I should ring the midwife to check if this is normal (I thought a show was just a one off thing, and wouldn't go on like this) - baby is still wrigglng as normal, I just have a husband who's getting quite twitchy!!!
Thanks,
Sarah x
* Have just spoken to the delivery suite at the hospital (after reading something on the net that said you should contact them if you've had a show - baby could be vulnerable to infection..) - they said that things sound to be completely normal, just got to keep an eye out for any more signs and then ring back!!! SO AM I IN EARLY LABOUR????? AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!
