So, it hasn’t been the smoothest pregnancy this time around for us, which is following in the footsteps of my previous pregnancy...I had my last child at a safe 37.3 Weeks, thankfully after a bout of preterm labour symptoms from 29 weeks onward until the day I delivered.

This time, we have been through placenta previa that has since cleared, phew, and losing my bloody mucous plug at 11 Weeks, and multiple cervical length checks that went from being too short to back to “normal”

Fast forward to now, 35 Weeks! (Woohoo we made it this far!) and the symptoms are starting to hit pretty hard again.

Mild Menstrual cramps and backache started 4 days ago, and have come and gone since then, and since 2 days ago, I’ve had very achey legs, and this mild nausea, like I want to eat but nothing is appetizing, so as soon as I start eating I have to stop. The baby dropped last week and I’ve been having mad pee breaks and way too frequent bowel movements that vary from normal to diarrhea (3-6 a day, past few days)I’ve been losing more plug material for the past 3 weeks and a ridiculous amount of BH contractions.

Midwife thinks I just have a sensitive body to pregnancy...I’m just looking for some of your symptoms before active labour started your third time around.

I don’t think I’m just going to go into labour right now or anything but I feel like it’ll probably be the next couple weeks! And after researching a little, I see my symptoms could be early labour symptoms...which I understand can still go on for weeks.

Thanks!
