Is this it?



Hi, I am 40 + 4 days and am unsure if I am going into labour or not. Even though this is my second child, I was induced the first time round and nothing about that labour was natural, hence the reason for me questioning if this is it or not. I had major backache most of last night and painful tightenings accompanied with a period pain like stomach ache, admitidly some were stronger than others. However, having woken up this morning even though my belly is hard, I dont have any real pain, and was wondering if this is the begining of things happening, or is this just wishful thinking? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

  • It sounds like Braxton Hicks to me. I've been getting it too. If unsure call your midwife, maybe she can do a membrane sweep as I've heard this can sped things up.
