Hi Ladies,
Im 35 weeks pregnant and am having period pain on and off all day today along with lower back pain. I'm generally not feeling good and am shattered tired.
Is this normal or early signs of labour?

Sounds like Braxton Hicks! Your body practicing for D Day. You're at the right stage for that i think. Have forgotten so much.

I don't know about the back pain but I had period pains on and off from around your time to when she was born at 41 weeks.

I had this at 37 weeks and was told to come to hospital for a trace to check it was not early labour. Thankfully it wasn't but I would call your midwife just to be on the safe side
