Has anybody ever gone into labour naturally at 38 weeks? I've been experiencing some "labour signs"…

I went into labour naturally at around 37weeks with Brody. But I won't be much help as I literally just felt like exhausted most of day, went for a walk with OH then had like contractions start around 9pm assumed they were Braxton Hicks then about 2am they were like 3-4 mins apart so went to hospital, no water breaking, no loosing my plug, no real cramping etc 🤔

@beffgoude, haha! 🤣 everyones labour is different. I'm just feeling so sick, but had loose stools for about a week, and today it's really bad with bad ache too :( going to try have a nap i think and see if that helps too! i'm so scared of going into labour 😩xx

I am currently 38weeks & been having really bad cramps & toilet trips etc ... according to my midwife baby’s engaged & probably my body’s getting ready for labour 😫 lol x

@dhovakiinx i know, it's hard to compare these things ain't it? awwwh, I dunno. Has midwife said if babys heads engaged yet so you know if it could be that labour is coming. Hopefully your just having an off day, if not ring an get checked out just to put your mind at ease xx

@beffgoude, @farahamran, I went for a growth scan and i'm sure they said he's head down? does that mean he's engaged then? 😂 to say this is my 3rd im still clueless hahah x

My little one came at 38weeks. I just felt really tired before I went into labour, but at my midwife appointment before I had him, his head wasn't engaged. X

Yes I had my little boy at 38+3 (first child) x

@dhovakiinx, aww same here Hun this is my second , still clueless 🙈 lol I guess every pregnancy is different x

@kshelley, @vic22, @farahamran, I think because it says a lot online that frequent loo trips 💩 is a very common sign because it's your body preparing and making room for baby to come, i'm now waiting for something to happen like 😂 I've had backache, cramps, heartburn and nausea too. feel like i'm waiting for my plug to come away then i'll know it's defo going to happen anytime yano 😂xx

@dhovakiinx yes I read a lot about loo trips, but I personally didn't have it until I was in labour in hospital🙈. You never know, it could be a sign. I just had a gut instinct a few days before hand, and all I wanted to do was stay at home and not see anyone, that was my body's way og telling me to rest and preparing me for the big day..so you may be right X

My waters broke at 38 weeks 2 days and was having contractions but had to be induced the next day d

I had the toilet trips about 2 weeks prior to my waters breaking but I didn't loose my plug untill i was pushing his head out. So I wouldnt assume you are going to loose yoir plug. Some people don't x

@dhovakiinx, @vic22, yea I lost my plug the same day and my waters came out just while I was pushing lol, I would ring up midwife &keep an eye on pains x
