Tell me what you think? 31 weeks along???

Question

This is what is going on with me. Tell me what you think? How long do you think I have? I do have a history of preeclampsia and preterm labor.

*My baby has already dropped and I have been told no sex or orgasm.
*My doctor told me everything is still closed and that I am still "thick" (effaced) but she looked very concerned.
*I am already seeing my doctor every week even though I am only 31 weeks.
*I believe I have lost my mucus plug.. but I don't know for sure.
*I get painful BH contractions that radiate down my legs.
*Extreme pelvic/rectal pressure.
*Loose stools for a while.
*Been nesting for about 4 weeks now.. bad nesting!!!!!
*Started "morning sickness" again... great fun!
*Diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
*When pooping (TMI) I am afraid to push because it puts sooo much pressure in my vagina.

So what do you ladies think? How long before labor starts with these symptoms? Anyone with similar situation? How long until you had your baby? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!!!

wooo babygirl you goin through!!! If you do everything you are supposed to be doing, keeping your blood pressure in check, going to all of your appointments, checking your sugar and relaxing as much as you can... i would say you have a few more weeks (given your history.. but hey, what do i know? lol)

My one bupper came at 28 weeks so your bundle has her beat right there. As long as you are still effaced you have a little bit of time to go (if your baby is going to come naturally) Once you start to dialate, it can still be a few weeks.

The biggest thing that can happen to make you deliver early via c-section is complications with pre-eclampsia and/or your gestational diabeties.

Ask your OB why she was concerned. see, im ignorant, dont give me looks when you cant speak on it. lol

Good luck and i hope all goes well throughout the rest of your pregnancy.
