Yesterday I had a terrible stomach ache and became very anxious thinking it might be labour as it’s my first I cannot differentiate the symptoms.

I called my midwife and said that labour pain happens on your back and lower abdomen (and I had pain on top only). It was mostly due to acid reflux and indigestion.

BUT I am having loose stools for a few days, tightenings when I walk and I also started with raspberry tea. Are these mild signs that body is preparing for labour in the next days or weeks…?
