I'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 2 RepliesDid anyone feel really rubbish before going into labour? I'm 40+6 and started feeling awful a few hours ago. I managed some sleep but am pretty achy (period pain like) and just generally feel terrible (exhausted/flu like) but have had no good contractions. This is my 4th baby, but I don't remember ever feeling rubbish beforehand.

View 4 RepliesOkay so I keep hearing that contractions with girls are a lot worse then they are with boys. With my son I had contractions in my back none in the front. But now everyone keeps saying oh girls are a lot worse you feel the contractions all in the front. Is this true or is it just another old wives tale? I'm 32+4 weeks.
View 7 RepliesI'm 38 weeks 2 days. I got checked today for dilation. I was 3.5 cm open. Well I've also been nonstop bloody mucus since yesterday. Doctor told me he should see me tonight or tomorrow because I am contracting. However I don't know how to count them. I feel some are longer and some are shorter so I lose track. However the pain has increased. He told to go in if they are 5 minutes apart, or bleeding like a period, or water breaking. The pain is increasing. Should I go??
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.
