  • It means things are starting to happen.Don't think everyone has the same symptoms,but I always start with period type pains which get stronger over time and turn into contractions.The stronger braxton hix and that pushing down feeling's all part of it  too.Oh and the toilet thing.

    Not a nutcase at all,it sounds like your body's getting ready.

  • just rang midwife nd she reckons im in established early labour.... what does that mean exactly? x
  • Excited now!It's happening at last.

    You're having the beginnings of labour.Are the pains regular?Can you time them yet?

    If you can,try to rest.You'll need your energy,you don't want to be worn out later on.

    Have you got everything ready?

  • no not really and really far apart so not been timing.... they rnt all tht painful...
  • any news any news?!? xxxx
  • yeh... NOTHING except high bp and a lot of headaches had to stay in 2 nights but begged to be let free but got to go bk in later to have my bp tested AGAIN!!!! x
  • when is your due date?  how are you feeling now (apart from the headaches)?
  • fri was and im ok now ta... had sweep yestaday and was in AGGGONY!! but nothing came of it other then a bloody show image xx
