tightening pains and pressure down there....

MummaBump · Nov 9th, 2009, 17:30 PM

Hi Ladies,

All day today i have been really uncomfortable, I feel like my upper abdomen is tightening (almost like having a tight belt under my ribs) and i have real pressure pushing down on my pelvis (feels like baby is pushing down into my hoo ha!) I vaguely remember feeling like this just before i went in to labour with my DD (but that was 6 years ago... so i'm not sure if my memory serves me right) Has anyone else had this? was it the start of labour?

I have been having these sensations too. They aren't sore as such just uncomfortable! When i was on CTG monitor in hospital yesterday (monitoring for placenta issues) the midwife wrote on my notes that I was having irregular uterine contractions so I assume that is what these feelings are. However this was also recorded in my notes from last wednesday (6days ago!) so not sure how close it means labour is!!!

Sounds all normal, possible BH's
