38 weeks pregnant. Are these contractions?

Also the baby have been lying head down on my left hand side for weeks, and now i can feel him placed right in the middle of my abdomen, He's never done that, he's been that way for a few hours. Is that weird?

you could be having false labor, but they do sound like contractions... If you go to your hopsital, they will gladly hook you up and see if your contractions are great enough to casue your labor.. They will talk you through it and help you out greatly! And don't feel stupid for asking them! They really don't mind! I had a friend who went through this same thing! Fun times!

it could be early or false labor keep an eye on the time when they start to get closer like 10-15 minutes you should head to the hospital until then you could take a walk to help them along or take a warm bath or nap if it's labor you'll need your strength for later. Also you may want to pack a bag just in case.

Yah, it could very well be the very, very beginning. Just wait it out and see what happens! If they start to get a little worse and a little closer then you'll know what's going on for sure. Try to get some sleep though because if you do go into labor you'll be glad you had some sleep tonight, since you, umm, won't be getting much for awhile. hehee :o)

It could be false labor, as was mentioned above. It could also be faint contractions. I am a mom to one and when my labor first started my contractions were pretty faint. Have you been timing the pains to see how far apart they are?

They can be Braxton Hicks contractions. Basically, practice contractions. It's normal. And yes they can be that faint. Now if your contractions start coming every 15 minutes, keep an eye on them. If they keep getting closer and closer, call your doctor. Heck, call your doctor now just for your comfort.

Wake someone up and tell them you might need to go to the Hosp. You are probably going in labor.

After conceive, normally you are expected to deliver by 35-37 weeks. Some thing might have gone wrong in calculation. Please rush to your Gynecologist, as early as possible.
