Did anyone's labour start with a lot of pressure in pelvis/pubic bone area back ache and cramps that feel like period…

Yup :) thats how my contractions were xx

I also have pains in the tops of my legs @winterbaby95 xx

@firsttimemummy21 Yeah hun :) I would say you are in early labour :) time the pains xx

The cramps aren't regular at all :/ @winterbaby95

@firsttimemummy21 Yeah hun...mine took about 12 hours to get regular :) Xx

They're 2-3 minuets apart and last about 45 seconds to a minuet but still mild x @winterbaby95

@firsttimemummy21 I would say that's regular hun :) x Call the labour and delivery ward xx

My midwife said not to call unless they're so painful I can't talk through them xx @winterbaby95

@firsttimemummy21 I could talk through mine even when I was 8cms dilated hun xx

@firsttimemummy21 I had to talk to a doctor and sign a consent form when I was 10cms 😂😂 xx

Wow... My hospital is pretty shit then! It's really understaffed and they bring you in at the last minuet and I've been told if there's no complications they want me out within a few hours of having her xx @winterbaby95

@firsttimemummy21 Yeah my hospital was understaffed...reason why I couldn't have a water birth :) Ooo in a few hours! That is what I wanted...I wanted to be in hospital for as little as possible :) my midwife said I had to be in 6 hours minimum depending on the time I gave birth etc :) My waters broke and I went into to be checked over..and then was sent home until my contractions got regular...But I was booked for an induction the next morning because my waters had broken...but they got regular around 8pm..went to hospital at 12am...was put on monitor given a sweep and stretch and then jumped to 8cms :) and had her at 12:48pm :) xxx
