Answer 1

I was feeling that way at 37 weeks. Then my water broke!

Answer 2

I had this and thought it was the start of labour yay......im now 41 weeks and still waiting with the same symptoms lol. The pressure is probably from the baby dropping further down getting himself ready to come out...and the poopy feeling lol you will have that til u give birth but notice a REAL big poopy feeling when it really is labour.
The tightenings are braxton hicks practice contractions getting ur body ready for the real thing. Not long now. I hope u dont have to wait as long as i have!!

Answer 3

Yep, every women goes through it. Its totally normal. Its the feeling of the baby dropping father into the birth canal. The period like cramps are your cervix changing. Braxton hicks are the tightness and back aches- sort of pre-labor back labor.

You're right on track. :)

Answer 4

I had those symptoms about a week before I went into labor. Pay attention to the stmptoms if they get any worse give your doctor a call. Good luck and congrats

Answer 5

Braxton Hicks contractions. It's your body getting warmed up for the big event - labour! They are very mild contractions.

Good luck!

Answer 6

.....stomach getting tight at times....sounds like you are going into labor. Just wait for a little bit and if all of it keeps getting worse, it's time to call the doctor.
Congrats.
