First time mum questions

You will know when you are in labour. I felt exactly the same the first time, but you definitely know, when it’s starting properly.
This is your body starting to prepare itself for labour. When your start getting lots of cramping and pain in lower belly that’s when it’s starting. If you’re engaged the baby is now sitting very low and does not help the bladder at all. It is perfectly normal the pressure your feeling it’s just awful, if going out I don’t drink before a walk with little boy as before might wet myself x
@Melissa fab - so it's the pain and frequency elements that'll come next. Great to know what to look for. It's so hard to not sit and over analyse everything so figured I'd just ask a question lol. Thank you. Yeah, I have to moderate what I drink around what I need to do too... and goodness if I sneeze! Spare pants also come with me everywhere I go now hehe x
@Naomi thanks 🙂
That all sounds like discomfort due to baby's head being quite engaged. Rather than signs of labour. It's quite a different feeling when contractions start
Following. I’m in the same boat only difference is that I’m 37 weeks, still very confused x
