Slow labour?

I have no idea what all these symptoms mean, so just wondering if anyone else has felt the same before. I’m 38 weeks and 3 days, and for the past 3-4 days, i’ve had the same symptoms every day mainly night time but today they’re just getting worse and lasted all day. My lower back is really achy, I’m getting period type pains, that keep coming and going. I feel really lethargic, dizzy and just constantly nauseous like I could be sick at any point, and baby’s movements are so strong that they make my nausea worse. Could this mean i’m going into labour or is it just something normal? Tia x

I had 7 period pain cramps in 45 mins last night, lost my mucus plug today. Have had irregular contractions today. Feel like it is signs of early labour and sounds a little similar to you! How engaged is baby’s head? Mine is 3/5ths as of Friday last week x

@Megan i’ve been losing my mucus plug for the past 2 ish weeks in bits. And i was 3/5th engaged since my last midwife appointment which was nearly 2 weeks ago. I wouldn’t mind the period pain on it’s own as I’m used to it in a way, but the nausea is just too much x

I think you should ring triage hun because of the nausea x

I haven’t lost my mucus plug as far as I’m aware however I’ve got nausea extreme active baby agony back pain but I’ve had that since seven weeks and pain last time I had my midwife appointment just less than two weeks ago he was engaged 4/5 Mild cramps I have a midwife appointment Christmas Eve

I’m exactly the same tbh! It’s been about 4 days and I’m just getting impatient now!

Sounds similar to my experience, I kept getting tightenings in my belly and they would just start to form a pattern and then would suddenly stop everytime i thought okay this could bd labour. I was getting it every morning and night for about 2 weeks. I then had 2 days of absolutely nothing, I was telling everyone baby isn't coming I could feel that she was sitting much higher in my belly. Then at 40+5 my waters broke and 2 hours 20 mins later she was out!

Yes, does sound like it.. I didn't lose my mucus plug till my waters broke. So I'd keep an eye on timings.... make sure your bag is packed and ready just incase. ♡ I was like this for around 11days and then boom strong contractions out of no where. .. xx all the best and good luck.
