Could it mean I am close to going into labour? and is it normal?

Probably baby has dropped and is putting pressure on your groin. When baby drops it usually means that you're pretty close to going into labor, though first time moms can drop a couple weeks before baby's born.

I started to get that really bad at about 38 weeks and now I'm due today and still no baby! I think it just means the baby had dropped lower. Could be very soon though! Good luck!

Ok for me, I don't dialate by my self. I have to be given Pittosin (spelling?) My water breaks and I go to the hospital, but what you are describing is what I feel during the begining of labor before I get pittosin and dialate. It feels like the baby is bearing down for you. If this sounds right I would say maybe.
I would call your Dr and see what they say. Watch for your water to break and take it easy.
Goos Luck

yes. Is this your first child? You should be going into any day now! This is why it is causing you swelling,pain and tenderness.Your baby is putting lots of pressure donw in that area so dont worry it is all normal. Good luck and have a smooth labor.

Try stretching, doing that stretch where you put one leg up on a chair and you sort of squat... um, that helps open your pelvis too... good luck!! Sounds like anytime now is a good time to have the baby!!

Hi, you may be in preterm labor, in other words you may be very dehydrated and need too see a Doctor right away. the same thing happened too me, so please get to the hospital or Doctor as soon as possible, you and baby can be at risk. better safe than sorry.
best of luck and enjoy the baby.

39 weeks is not premature. Anything before 37 weeks is premature. Good luck!

I'm not a certified medical doctor, but it could be possible your baby will be premature. You should make an appointment with your doctor and let him know about it. Hope to help
