FTM and unsure

Hello! I'm a FTM I'm currently 38 weeks 2 days. Since I was about 34wks I have had real contractions which they had to stop with meds. Since then have had them on and off. I've currently been getting them more frequently throughout the day and the last two days I have had diarrhea and felt crabby yesterday for no reason. I was losing my plug in pieces over the last 2 weeks and can feel the "ripping" feeling. I guess my question would be did anyone feel any different in the days leading up too labor? I have a pit of my stomach feeling he will be coming very soon. Also, I stay very hydrated I drink a TON of water all the time so I know the cramping and yucky feeling isn't from dehydration. Ant advice or stories will help. Thank you!

  • What exactly is the "ripping" feeling? :-/

  • Some ppl feel different. I did slightly although I couldn't name exactly that difference.
    Try and stay relaxed! Take time to rest now, do something for yourself. You won't regret it once labor hits and baby has arrived! All the best.
  • How you can slightly feel like your cervix is ripping or the lightning sensation that runs in your crotch from the pressure of the baby.

    Lightning crotch? Do you mean ripening? And I've heard of people feeling different but I've also heard of women who feel the same. You could be having an off day or you could be going into labor. No one knows.
  • It feels like slight or tingling sensation in my crotch. It's weird to discribe. I did start having contractions last night 3 min apart about 60 seconds each for about 2 or 3 hours then they started to go away. Ugh this is just getting to be a lot of my physically and mentally now.
