Tmi - constipated or beginning of labour? Or both😅

So I've been getting cramps and rumblings in my tummy similar to how it feels usually when I have an upset stomach but I've tried to go to the bathroom multiple times unsuccessfully. I sit on the toilet for 10/15 minutes and nothing, the pains seem to be coming and going regularly and are worse when I'm sitting on the toilet trying to go. I had a sweep yesterday and was 2/3cm dilated, no bloody show but pretty sure I have lost some of my mucus plug over the last couple days. 39+5 today and more than ready for babies arrival 😭

Omg yes, this happened to me I felt like I needed to go to the toilet and couldn’t! Mine lasted throughout the whole of labour and unfortunately didn’t go until baby was out 🥹

That is exactly how I would describe the first few hours of labour with my first baby! Xx

Thanks ladies! TMI again but managed to go to the loo eventually but pains still coming and going to fingers crossed this is the beginning 🤞🏻 had my first baby less than 2 years ago so you'd think I'd remember what the pains were like but I seem to have forgotten everything and am questioning every twinge 😂x

I didn’t realise I was in labour 😂 Thought I was constipated and sent boyfriend out for laxatives and dried apricots the next morning 😂
