Early?

[alaskawebb87]

So I am 35 weeks and I am pretty sure I lost my mucus plug last week. I have been getting a lot more pain and pressure in my lower abdomen and pelvis. I think baby is engaging. Are these signs that he is dropping? How long after loss of plug and dropping baby does this last? I don't think I and gonna make it to 40 weeks.

Are you still having them.. ive never had Braxton hicks but some women on here have said they can be painful

I know this new pain is not Braxton Hicks, I have been having those and it's not painful. These are pains and pressure all the time, especially when I stand. I constantly feel like I have to poop :( is this what it feels like to have baby drop/engage?

Women lose their mucus plug early sometimes.. And maybe your having braxton hicks I heard those can be some what painful..

Call the doc and tell them, i feel your pain i live 1 1\2 hours from hospital and im 35 weeks as well.

I am just nervous that I am going to go into early labor and I am not going to realize it. This has been a pretty easy pregnancy so far. I am super nervous because we live 2 hours away from the hospital and winters up here can get pretty rough for driving. Just hoping I know when labor is starting so I get there on time.

I only made it to 36 weeks and my water broke baby was completely healthy and weighed 6'9 your prob a little farther then they say cause its just a estimate.
