Sign of labour?

Anna

Last night I had some major lower back pain with BH and then my belly felt bruised.

I'm not having BH so far today, but I was just loading up the dishwasher and my lower back has started to ache and leading down into my thighs felt tight.

Since Friday night I've had some sudden swelling in my right ankle that has slowly progressed up my leg and I could feel it in my knee and hip yesterday afternoon while I was out. The swelling hasn't gone away all weekend. I've woken up with it very minorly and it's just gotten worse during the day then goes down a bit at night and comes back again.

I was thinking if the swelling got really really bad again today I'd call my ob in a couple hours because I run a daycare and it's a pro d day so I have a 1 year old and my 6 year old son and dh at work so I'm hoping this isn't labor and just sore muscles for now...
