3rd Trimester

Early Labor Signs? I don't want to be dumb, but...

I am 38 1/2 weeks and have felt pretty good all along this adventure.  I have had BH (pressure, but nothing major).  Tonight i started with cramping, sick to my stomach once, lots of pressure, peeing constantly, chills and the worst heartburn i have had in what seems like forever.  To my knowledge i haven't lost my MP and my water hasn't broken yet.  I'm a first timer so i'm sorry if i am dumb, but are these all normal signs of early labor or is my imagination getting the best of me?  Any info would be great!

 TIA

  • I had symptoms like that over the weekend. I think it's pre-labor stuff. However, it could still mean your a few weeks away! I'm still kicking. lol.

  • Trust me, when you get close enough you start thinking everything may be labor. I got gas pains earlier and started hoping I'd go into labor. However, alas no baby for me. :(

  • When you start having contractions where they hurt so bad you can't talk through them...then you know it's starting.  I had BH all day long, about every 5-7 minutes apart.  By that evening they got down to 5 minutes and then suddenly got painful and were coming every 3-5 minutes apart.  By midnight back labor started up....by then you know you need to get your butt to L&D.
