Early Labour?
I’m 35+4 weeks pregnant and the last few days I’ve been experiencing dizziness and the odd few cramping pains, but they haven’t been bad. However last night around 7pm i started getting a really low and constant dull ache inbetween the very bottom of my bump and pubic bone. I managed to sleep the night but I’m experiencing the same pain today and the pain is almost identical to period cramps. The pain now is less constant and more cramping, the cramps aren’t regular either and it’s hard to tell when the pain gets worse as the pain never fully goes away. Has anyone else experienced period like pains as the very start of labour? I went to see the midwife this morning to check everything is okay, she has written his head is 3/5 palp but also written ‘ head well engaged’ . The midwife didn’t really listen to me if I’m honest, she mainly just said keep an eye on it so i have no idea what is going on and as it’s still early I’m a little worried. I haven’t noticed my stomach getting a lot tighter either, i wouldn’t say it’s braxton hicks.
