Ok so last night, me and hubby decided to DTD to try and get this baby out! Immediately after I started having period type aches and pains, thought "ooo this must be a good sign", and got in bed. About 15 minutes later I had a contraction, quite a painful one at that. I had another couple which were about 10-12 minutes apart and lasting around 40-50 secs, then got up to go to the loo. I thought if I empty my bladder and walk to the loo, that should stop them if its just nothing or if theyre BH's.

So got back in bed, and a few minutes later, another couple came, around 12 minutes apart again. So I got back up and had a wander downstairs to get my phone and have some water. Surely that must stop them if they were BH?! Got back in bed, and had another one!! I was seriously close to waking hubby up to tell him what was happening, but I could feel myself getting really tired and wanting to drift off. So I thought, well I might aswell just try and get some sleep cos I think Im gunna need my energy soon. So fell asleep gone 1am, and that was it

Ive woke up this morning and ive still got a pretty horrible achey period feeling along with a little bit of lower backache, but no contractions TMI but when I went to the loo this morning, there was alot of gunk there. Not bloody, but took like 3 lots of tissue to get rid of it

Gunna go out for a walk this morning but the weather is lousy here. Does this mean labour is immenent or is this baby winding me up??



UPDATE
About 45 mins ago I just started to get this pain in my left side, round by my back and hip. Its gradually getting worse and spreading round to the front, sooo painful Its kinda like a stitch type pain but really concentrated to one area. Ive had some paracetamol but its still there, I thought I would try to bounce on my ball incase its bubba laying funny but its too sore to bounce! Anyone know what this could be? Bloody hope all this is the start of something

Could go either way I hope this is it for you it sounds good xx

i reckon if your still feeling quite achey down their and youv got lower back ache things could well pick up again at some point, try and go for a really long walk if you can and take a bottle of water with you. xx
fingers crossed things do start up again. xxxx

Thanks, gunna get ready and try a walk in a bit although its tipping it down and I cant walk very far these days lol. Anythings worth a try though! xx

We woke up to alot of snow I cannot even go shopping, I had a show about 9 hour before I went into labour with my second xx

definably try walk , even if you cant get out . Walk up and down the stairs ?

i would say what the other ladies have said and say try a walk etc.

But dont start to watch out for signs of labour all the time, you will drive your self mad!!

If im not doing anything all i am doing is sitting here trying to work out if im going into labour lol x

Yey! Sounds very promising. Get on all fours for a while and have a wiggle. MW said this is the best to help it along!

Good luck! xx

Ha never heard that but will give it a try. Possibly what started the contractions off in the 1st place iykwim !!!
