labour soon?

Question

hi im currently 36weeks+
for the past few days i have had alot of pain and pressure down below my bump and at the bottom of my back, im so uncomfy i havent had a proper sleep (its 1.30am here)
i've started feeling sick during the night and my bowel movements have been looser than normal (sorry)
im not having contractions (i dont thnk anyway - i've been told i would deff know if i was!) so i'm wondering wether it sounds like i'm going to go into labour soon or hopefully still last to my due date.
if what im feeling is normal - will it get worse over the next few weeks :(

Answer 1

What you are feeling is totally normal. Hang in there, at your stage you are going to be extremly uncomfortable. Although you might want to consult your doctor because normally women are more constipated than anything. Just ask him, i'm sure that's normal too but just ask. Your body is changing like crazy inside and out. I was very uncomfortable. My lower back killed me the last few weeks and i also couldn't sleep. try putting a pillow under your lower back. This doesn't sound like labor to me, when you start getting contractions, they feel like your baby is kicking you very hard, you can't mistake them. You would def. know if you were having contractions. And if you were sleeping, they would wake you right up, thats how strong they are. Hang in there, you are almost done carrying your baby. Try to get as much sleep as possible because once this baby comes, you will not sleep. Good luck to you and your baby.

I don't think that you are going into labor. From my experience, I had no pain, but my water broke and I didn't even know it, then the pain came, and it was horrible ( not to scare you). I do think that you will soon go into labor though. So don't be so scared and look forward to it, it is a beautiful thing. Congrats and good luck!!!

Most women deliver anywhere from 37-42 weeks.
