at 35 weeks, your pregnancy is different from mine and every mother who reads this question. the best website i have come across is www.babycenter.com. you can go across the top on these blue little squares and click where you are in YOUR pregnancy and they can guide you- what you should be expecting, how your baby is growing. it's great without going overboard.

At 35 weeks, you should be getting as much rest as you can. You have a great excuse to put your feet up and relax. Braxton Hicks contractions don't happen to everyone. Mine were really mild...I hardly even noticed them. You might lose your mucus plug soon (which is a lovely experience, let me tell ya). It looks like thick snot and can come out all at once or a little at a time. Other than that, you should be preparing for your stay at the hospital and preparing your house for your little one (if you haven't already). Good luck with your labor and delivery. It won't be long now! YAY!

Your wellness care professional ought to have given you some policies approximately what they seen worrisome. My OB suggested that in the time of classes the place you often anticipate stream, you need to get a minimum of 6 strikes in an hour or 10 strikes in 2 hours. in case you experience *no longer something* in 24 hours and you have been very heavily paying interest (because of the fact now and back while you're busy this is easy to forget with reference to the little bub's strikes) you need to call the OB. Have her drink some severe sugar juice and lay on her side doing no longer something yet paying interest to the toddler and initiate the clock. you may the two count quantity how long it takes to get ten strikes and evaluate this to the toddler's popular, or determine you get 6 strikes in an hour (or 10 in 2 hours). yet policies or no policies, this is *your* toddler. you realize this toddler greater suitable than every person else. If she is relatively in touch a pair of entire absence of stream in a often energetic toddler, i might call somebody good away. there's a lot they could do to assist preclude fetal loss of oxygen and different issues regardless of if this is caught early sufficient. And the worst that happens is which you overreacted and not something is faulty, and that's a small small cost to pay to ensure toddler is okay.

You could be having BH contractions and not even realize it, I was actually in labor with my first when I went to be induced and didnt know it. Im 36 Weeks and I just experienced the "nesting" syndrome...Which I love cause now my house smells like pine-sol...but every pregnancy is different...MY symptoms are...not being able to get comfortable whenever I try to sleep..other than that I just feel pregnant.

For my first, I didn't get false labor. My labor did take several days to build up. I went to the hospital twice before they kept me. At 35 weeks the baby may be slowing down movement. It should be in the correct position for birth(head down). The baby starts to really gain weight at this time. Just hang in there the day will be here in no time. Good luck!

braxton hicks dont always happen. You'll know it when you get it. Most of the time, those happen when you have been stressing yourself too far, physically. Best thing to do is to sit a while and relax your body as much as you can until they pass.

Just take it one day at a time, if you have contractions that do not stop when you sit down and relax after about 15 min it's time to call the doctor, but for the mean time relax, your not going to get must rest. I allways clean my house and washed the baby clothes just get everything ready. Good luck
