[Mummytobelora]

ok well I'm 37 weeks and 3 days I'm just wondering if I sound like I could go into labour soon I've been very tidy I tided my whole room organized everything need I said to my self I want my room baby safe I even started paring my socks together which I never do I even moved some old draws out of my room and I've been having braxton Hicks and back ache

I had broxton hicks lots, not exactly a sign of labour! I had very mild contractions at 39w + 2d for a couple of days, it felt like mild period cramps in my lower tummy and radiating to my back (every 5 minutes, then 10 minutes and so on), they went soon though, then at 39w + 6d I had the midwife, LO was only 1/5th engaged and I was out and about, felt fine the whole time! My waters went that night with no signs, I even managed to put the cot together on my own lol!

Others are;

Loose stools
Bloody Show
Some people just feel funny that day
Backache
Period-like-cramps

Hope this helps

It sounds like nesting and the usual aches of pregnancy

You'll never know for sure when labour is close, I had no signs the day before then 2am the next morning contractions woke me up.
Not plug, breaking of water, loose stools etc...

Labour is so unpredictable I'm afraid, you may not get any signs that you are going into labour at all! I went 11 days overdue with my first, I had no idea that I was going into labour.

With my second, I didn't know I was going into labour. BUT, looking back, I was feeling very funny the night before, backwards and forwards to the toilet but not being able to go, and just very uncomfortable. I went into labour the following morning.
