@erincharliebubba but how tho I mean I've been getting back ache and bad tightenings.. I'm thinking could this be the start but also could it just be Braxton hicks. So confused... xxx
@shaninex97, when things get more intense , I mean you could be in early slow labour but that can last days especially with your first. Obvious signs are waters going, bloody show... tue labour you get regular contractions , painful and come every 5mins lasting a minute xxx
Midwife usually have a 5-1-1 rule. Your contractions have to be every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute each for 1 hour. But I didn't know I was in labour with my first so I've never agreed with that whole "you know when its labour". All my pain was in my back so i had no idea and when I finally relented and went to the hospital I was fully dilated. If your not 100% sure you can always ring the hospital. They won't think badly of you or anything for not knowing, they will just advise you on what they think it is once you've described the pain to them hun xx
@shaninex97, extreme period cramps and tbh @chloeanabelle.xo, has a point because I only just made it to the hospital with my 3rd as I had the back labour and no tighntings in my belly but I did know it was happening because it hurt like a bitch xxx
@erincharliebubba well I've been getting tightenings and then pain just before where the pubic hair starts to grow then I've been getting a pressure type feeling on my legs. Just were it separates from your leg to the vagina x
