Beginings of labour?
I had some Braxton Hicks a few weeks ago but the contractions are comming thick and fast today.
Baby is head down and bump dropped the day before yesterday.
I have rung the maternity unit and explained - MW said to keep and eye on it and ring back if I get a show or waters go.
Hopefuly not!

blimey hun, how are you now?! x x
Dislike! How are you today Babyfox? x
It's all good, baby still firmly in place although pretty sure head is engaged as things have become very uncomfortable
Phew!! Thought we had our first BA coming for a while there
I'm sure all will be okay, sound like BH, when you're in real labour you'll know, there's no mistaking labour contractions!
you did the right thing thou, MW are there for a reason and never feel like you can't ask them anything.
When DS head engaged fully it was shortly before labour and it was so painful i could barely walk! immense pressure, baby's head might be on way to being fully engaged! good luck
Good luck Babyfox - sounds like your body and baby are getting ready for the big day - let's hope baby hangs on in there for a few more weeks!
I still don't think I'm getting Braxton Hicks ladies? I haven't felt the tensing of the uterus/mild contractions that they describe. Hope its okay to not be feeling anything like that? (32w)
Osteo told me today that baby is head down (hurrah!) and everything (especially my back) feels a lot more comfortable than when baby was lying transverse. Hopefully bubba is going to stay put now and not swing back. I've got another scan next week, so will be able to make sure! xx
oh wow babyfox I've only just seen this post! Glad you're okay! The BH are getting more intense when I get them now, the other night I had to crouch on the floor as it was the only way to ease them! xx
