Pre-Labor signs?

beckylynn23 · January 2014

I am 39 weeks pregnant and have been having pelvic and groin pain over the last week and a half. (Doc says this is normal since that's the way out for baby) It has been increasingly getting more and more, and starting Thursday night, I have been having pain like a menstrual cramp (pretty consistent, not on and off). And today, I've been having to go to the bathroom more than normal (if that's possible)...like every 20 mins (literally). Anyone else have signs like this in previous pregnancies or am I just over thinking things since I'm more than ready to meet this LO?

You're overthinking things. You might be in labor in two hours. You might not be in labor for 2 weeks. All of those signs could be just normal at the end of pregnancy, or they could mean impending labor.

No that is exactly what happend with my first. I was peeing every 20 min then later that night I got menstral crampy, and then the back ache started and then I was in labor (for 3 days) but just remember at this point everything is a sign hinges are getting close. Being 39 weeks means you are close. But close could mean 2 days or 2 weeks. Things are changing and your body is getti ready. But no matter what you won't know when you are king to go into labor until you do! That's the hard part!

I had the exact same symptoms and nothing has happened yet. I will be 40 weeks on Thursday. I am only dilated 1/2 cm after ALL of those symptoms. I just knew labor was coming or that I was at least dilating because of the cramps. Lol. But it's a no-go so far. She will come when she is ready.
