34 weeks- could my little man be trying to make an early appearance?

  No one can tell anyone when they will actually go into labor. The symptoms you are describing sound like third tri ones and I experienced them with both my first two pregnancies. For the health of your unborn child I would be hoping and praying that they stayed put for a few more weeks as I wouldn't want a preemie and you still have 5-6 weeks until full term.

  This was explained to you on the June board. No one can tell you when you are going to go into labor, and your baby could be born at anytime in the next 8 weeks.

  Even if someone had the EXACT same symptoms (which is very common for third tri), it doesn't mean that you would go into labor the same time she would. Whomever told you to expect baby in two weeks is guessing. Sorry they freaked you out/gave you false "hope," but no one including your OB can tell you exactly when you'll go into active labor (with the obvious exceptions of induction and scheduled c-section). Accept that.

  Contractions can feel like menstrual cramps, at least the early ones. They did when my little girl tried to come early. Call your doctor. They'll probably want to monitor you or send you somewhere for monitoring, and if he is coming too early, seeking medical attention early is key!

  There's nothing wrong with wondering if you're baby is going to come early. I am currently 33 w 5 d and I feel like he is going to be born within about 3 weeks. My doctor has told me that I definitely won't be making it to my due date. (July 14th) this is due to the fact that he is very low and I have lost some of my mucus plug. But the fact that someone told you 2 weeks doesn't mean they were having any malicious intent. It's just one pregnancy experience to another good luck with your little one!

  I have to agree that everything you've mentioned does not equate labor. Also, just because you've lost your mucous plug doesn't mean much. They can/do regenerate. There really is no way we can tell you that your baby is coming early.
