Super pregnant or early labor symptoms?

New backache. Comes and goes but can't really identify start and stop times....it just creeps in. Frequent Braxton hicks (maybe 2-3 an hour). Very VERY active baby. No nesting. No mucus plug. Slightly more discharge. feel like I have to poop but apparently I don't have to any more than normal.

Just curious what you guys think? I'm an FTM so I think every little thing "may" be it. 38w5d.

Re: Super pregnant or early labor symptoms?

  • Just sounds like late pregnancy symptoms to me I'm 36 weeks and I have all the same things plus lots of cramps and contractions.

  • I agree with pp...
  • No one on here is a doctor, I understand that you just want advice but you'd be best to get it from either your midwife or doctor..
  • Labor usually happens out of nowhere.

    I have zero discharge, for instance, but baby could decide to come tonight. You just don't always know. It's REALLY hard to not analyze every feeling though. I totally get it. I'm 38 weeks as well and just.... waiting. Waiting for the contractions to kick it and intensify! So far just a lot of back pain and a few BH.

  • Thanks, ladies. I have spoken to my doctor about it so I'm clear on when to call - which is important, I agree. Fortunately, I've had a very healthy pregnancy so far so they don't feel I need to call TOO early in the labor process. I guess I'm just unsure what I'm looking for leading up to that point. The doctor described the frequency and length of contractions that will signal it's time to get medical attention, which is great. I guess like some other FTMs I'm just anxious. Sounds like it's anyone's guess! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone :)

  • Sounds like late pregnancy stuff. This is my second pregnancy and I already feel that way at 35 weeks. Labor is a lot more painful- unfortunately.
