Beginning of labour?

Been having cramps since 6 last night I was wondering if this is a sign of early labour? I have this gut feeling that he’s going to come by the end of the week has anyone else experienced this at all? How did you know you were going to go into labour in a couple days?

My contractions when first started felt like period cramps

Began at 40+3 , had them for 3 days then babygirl was born

I had super intense pressure down below

@Sophie how long was it until you realised it was contractions not cramps ? Because I was able to go sleep last night I did go bed quite late and woke up quite a lot but that’s normal for me so doesn’t really feel like I’m going into Labour

With my little one, I had a membrane sweep on Monday, and began feeling some cramps. By Wednesday, these were strong enough to wake me at night and interrupt my sleep. I then began to lose my plug (slowly) and by Thursday AM I had serious pain and it was clear. So… what I would say is that when you reach the point of not being able to sleep much/rest, that’s a clear sign. My tip: stairs! I entered active labour after climbing stairs for 10 mins. Good luck

@Sophie thankyou x

@Lala Thankyou so much x
