Early stages of labour? Anyone else?
Okay, so before I explain, I want to give y'all fair warning that some of the details are quite gross, or may make you feel sick. So I'm sorry in advance!
So at about 11pm last night (UK time, so about 20 hours ago) I felt like I had trapped wind/gas and needed to fart, and then I started getting nasty gas pains in my tummy and lower back. So I jumped up to rush to the toilet, and sat there for what felt like forever. I then felt the strongest urge to go for a 'number 2', and felt a lot of pressure in my back passage, and then the pains came back but a lot worse, so much worse I nearly had myself in tears and felt sick. I tried and tried but nothing was happening down there, s I gave up.
About 15-20 minutes later, I didn't feel right. I just felt sick. I felt tired. So I headed back to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and tried to relax, again - nothing was going on. Suddenly the pain came back, just as painful as before and all of a sudden I start to vomit, a lot! It was really disgusting and awful. After the pain subsided, I took myself to bed while my fiancé grabbed me a heat patch for my back, and warmed my microwaveable teddy up for me.
I managed to get some sleep, but kept waking up as my body was just automatically trying to make me poop! And everytime it did that it really hurt! I was probably waking up every 1-3 hours.
And today, it's been more or less the same. I did manage to "Go" today, but it was very loose and gross, and it was the tiniest amount. The pain in my back is still there, but isn't getting worse as time goes on. It just comes and goes. I called the hospital to ask for an opinion and she said that it sounds like I'm going into early labour. My waters haven't broken, and I don't think I've lost my whole plug yet, and haven't noticed any blood either? So I'm a tad confused. Has anybody else ever had anything like this just before going into labour?
Please share, as I'm still a bit anxious and scared.
