It means you are getting closer to going into labor. Might be within the next few days and it might be the next few weeks. Good luck to you mama.

It means that you are getting ready to give birth within the next few weeks. Braxton hicks, and dry runs of fake labor, are common in the last month of pregnancy. The pain on your side is from baby taking up as much room as he/she can, and your ribs will have more pressure on them. The pain in the inner thighs is caused by the increased weight of baby on your body. If you have more than 4 contractions within an hour, call your OB or the hospital. Make sure that you're drinking plenty of water, and stay hydrated.

I had pain all the time with all of my pregnancies. I am 17 wks pregnant right now and Im already getting Braxton Hicks contractions. This is my 4th child. So it could mean you are nearer to labor, or could be far off yet. You can get all sorts of contractions and bad pains at the end of your pregnancy.

You are term now so they might not be braxton hicks. If you put your hand on the top of your uterus and feel the tightening it probably a true contraction. When you have four or more in an hour I would call your OBGYN. Good Luck and hopes for a healthy baby!!!

You may be getting ready to go into labor.The pain is caused by the baby pressing on you rnerve endings.Watch for signs like a pattern of contractions 5 minutes apart for an hour,your water breaking,severe pain ,bleeding etc..It just sounds to me like you might have that little one very soon.If you can't tolerate the pain call your doctor to make sure what they think.Having a boy?

That everything is falling neatly into place as it should,it could be tomorrow or in two weeks, be ready but it still may take a while, just rest a lot, and enjoy this final stage

You are either getting ready to, or already in labor. If the contractions become stronger and closer together, make haste to the hospital!!
