    Only the last day or so, I am also feeling lots of pressure down below like the head is pressing against my cervix. It can be very uncomfortable at times! I'm hoping that these are signs that my body is getting ready for the big day.

    do you know what your having a boy or a girl?im having a girl and im back at hospital wednesday to get a date for induction for either next week or the week after if she dont come before which would be nice cause im not looking forwards to having a induction i had one with my first and its really not nice,is this your first?

    I know, I expected to have awful backache carrying this big lump around!
    This is our first baby, so we decided to have a surprise. Congratulations on having a girl! Have you got your name picked? I've heard that induction can be painful, was yours?

    hi, with my first baby i had back ache for 2 days before i went in to labour with him, i didn't realise that it was the start of labour or maybe i was in denial at the time. he was 4 days late.
    hope this helps.xxx
