What is all this back ache and period pain???
I'm only 39+2 and not yet at the desperate to get the baby out stage, although am ready is he/she is.....I'm so confused with this tho!
Last Friday and yesterday/early this morning I've had bouts of really painful period pain, my bump hurting as well as abdomen and back ache lasting for a few hours with increased braxton hicks. It's very painful and I'm unable to get comfortable or concentrate on anything else. Yesterday DH had to get a train to me at my mums so he could drive me and DD home as I couldn't have managed it. Yesterday I also felt too nauseus to eat dinner and felt really really hot.
I didn't have this with DD. Just loads of BH leading up to the onset of labour which just started with sudden, obvious, painful contractions. So I'm finding this really annoying. I don't mind if the baby doesn't come for a few more days but I don't want to feel in pain and unwell in the meantime!
Last night I was up for three hours with the pain, so kept thinking that something must be getting started and perhaps I'm just in for a completely different labour this time but now all has eased off again!
Has anyone had this before? What is it? :?

If you're concerned call your mw.

Certainly sounds like you're in slow labour, but it can last for weeks. Best to mention it to your mw and see if she will check you over to see if anything is happening; dont be disappointed if she says no though, many wont bother until you're at least 40weeks (mine wouldnt even at 39+6!) Good luck hon, hope this is it for you xxx
