Early signs of labor???

So recently, I've been getting more and more BH at night. I don't know if its a sign that labor will start soon or what, but its been an obvious increase over the last few days. Also, I've been having a few of menstrual-like cramps over the past few days and DS has dropped significantly. Could this be the early signs of labor or am I just getting my hopes up???

Re: Early signs of labor???

  • It could definitely be a little bit of preparation. For a few days I had some menstrual-like cramps, then I started having strong pains in my back. Turns out I went from 1 cm to 3.5 in a week and I'm 90% effaced. Which I know isn't labor, but it's getting closer. Also, my pains started at night as well.

    So it's possible that your body is just getting you closer to the real deal. :)

  • I've been getting lighter menstrual-like cramps over the past week in the mornings that then go away and my obgyn told me until they become regular and don't go away to just ignore them - that they don't really mean much. Just thought I'd pass that along.

  • My unhelpful answer is that it would be early signs, or it could not be. You can't really tell ahead of time sadly. Our bodies have a lot of prep work to do and its different for everyone. I was for sure going to have my son last week and I'm still pregnant and overdue with #2.
