ERM I keep getting really bad pains like period pains really low down . It has been on and off all week but tonight its especially painfull

I dont think they are braxton hicks as I'm not getting tightenings and MW said they start from the top.

Oh dear I haven't even packed my bag yet . Erm better do that later just incase. Can the build up be over days ? Or maybe it will all come to nothing but it actually took my breath away .

How many weeks are you? Mine started off as bad period pains on the Saturday night. My LO was born on the Sunday evening. Good luck!

yep i remember quite clearly, i couldn't talk when i was having contractions, my mum was sat there going you ok and me being brave just said yeah yeah i'm fine, little did i know little man was on his way!

Id been having aches and pain for few days before but no baby then i went in to be induced and he came very quickly so something must have been happening before i went in...

good luck xx

Didn't you say that you had been getting some this week but now they are worse? If so that could have been the build up!

Depends on how you labour hun, might come on gradual or you might start getting your contractions.

I would go and pack your bag now just in case they get too uncomfy later.

My labour started off as a dull constant ache like a period pain then changed into sharper pains that came and went. The pains were low down too.

Good luck if this is it - fingers crossed for you!
