gut feeling

People keep telling me my little girl look like she will come any day now but I don't feel like she'll be coming soon. Idk if I'm dilated or if my cervix is opened or closed, I haven't had any cramping or braxton hicks (if so I haven't felt them: high pain tolerance), she's dropped but I only have pressure every now and then. I'm a ftm and really don't know what to expect these last days. Can I have some advice or something? lol I'm 38 weeks and not trying to rush the process I just want to know some signs

When I was pregnant with my first child I went to the doctor when I was 37 weeks exactly, the baby hadn't dropped fully and I wasn't dilated at all. But when I woke up at 37 weeks 6 days I was in labor. Just in a few days my son had dropped and I was dilated to a 1. I went to the hospital and they thought it was false labor but I kept dilating and that night my son was here. So don't stress. It can happen in the blink of an eye. Goodluck!

I am a ftm as well and I am wondering when my baby will be here! I am 39 weeks and 5 days and I have only felt what I think is Braxton hicks contractions.. :(

Lol I'm in the same boat... everyone keeps predicting she'll be here this week but I'm not dilated at all, well I've only been checked once and that was when I was 36+4... I never felt a braxton hick just a little pressure every now and then.. and sometimes it feels like I'm on my period. Just my lower body in general, no cramps. Or at least I haven't felt them... I have a high pain tolerance also

I was the same way with my first pregnancy. I eventually felt my contactions but nothing I couldn't handle. Then I went for a long walk until I felt it waa time to have her
