View 5 RepliesI'm a ftm n 40 w pregnant, i've been having sex regularly with my husband to induce labour. R8 after, I get these painful period like cramps n back pain, it goes on for a few hrs but then fades away and is completely gone, this has been going on for 3 days. Could my cervix be widening? I'm already 2 cm open.

View 1 RepliesI've been in slow Labour for a week now contracting every 15 minutes for about a minute tonight it's gone to every 3-5 minutes for about 30-60 seconds I haven't lost my plug yet but didn't readily have one with my son at all ( this is my second baby ) anyone know how to bring Labour on a bit more in so Much pain ( I have spd and my hips are all out of place ) due on 17th Sept but been induced on 5th if don't have her beforehand Dr has said from all scans she is ready if she came now she will be fine .
Sorry for tmi but my stomach is gurgling as well and made me have a loose motion but feel fine just the contractions.
I'm 36+4 (second pregnancy, first was a miscarriage at 10 weeks) I'm absolutely terrified of Labour as I don't know what to expect. I know I'm probably being stupid but I just need reassurance has anyone been this scared for Labour? How bad can it be..
View 2 RepliesCan you have slight contractions at 21 weeks?? Im 21+3 and its almost like cramps but different?
View 3 RepliesWeird thing is that I haven't been having any contractions. I know what to do to bring them on and I've been walking but no contractions still. I was on bedrest but my Dr told me that's my baby girl is ready and I may as well be active as possible to get the labor process going.

View 2 RepliesIm 39+6 and had a sweep this morning. Turns out at my sweep I was already 3cm dilated.
Midwife has said just go home and see what happens but could still be a few days until anything happens.
Since getting home I've had constant cramps. Is this the start of it all?
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or after having a sweep how long until you went into labour?
So I went to the Dr today an I'm measuring a little over 3 wks a heads. Has anyone had time an went into labor early? Are the chances any higher? This Is my 3rd

View 4 RepliesSince my 36 week check up I have been dilated 3-4cm. I have been terribly miserable the past couple of weeks, not being able to sleep or get up & down & bend over without getting cramps in my lower abdomen, having constant headaches, back aches plus a lot of pressure & pain in my pelvic floor. I had my 38 week checkup yesterday & am still playing the waiting game for my water to break or my contractions to become more consistent. Now for my question! I wiped earlier after peeing & there was a large milky, brown tinged clot on the toilet paper(yes yuck, ik!). Was this my mucous plug I lost or just a result of having my cervix checked yesterday?
View 3 RepliesI had a pinkish jelly like thing on my panty liner twice and i have been cramping since then. 39 weeks 5 days
View 5 RepliesI am 37 weeks and 2 days. I went to my doctor Thursday and was 2cm dilated and she could feel my baby's head. I'm a first time mom, so I don't know what to expect. I think I lost my mucous plug yesterday and now keep having brownish colored blood on my panty liner. Should I call my doctor? Is labour very soon? I also have contractions sporadically and back lower back pain.
View 3 RepliesI'm 37 and 1 day and for about 3 weeks iv had pressure in my cervix but not bad pressure, now it's starting to hurt and feels like her head is coming out! And also iv been having pressure in my bottom and my lower back is really sore like a dull pain... Could this be labour starting soon? Did this happen to anyone else?

View 1 RepliesI'm 39 weeks and I'm almost 2 cm dilated and 80% thinned out. My doctor said we're gonna talk about being induced, but I don't want to be induced but then again I don't want to wait any longer than 40 weeks. So what can cause contractions for me to dilate.
View 2 RepliesIf you have contractions do it mean your dilating ??
