Your ob should check your dilation and effacement.  That will give you a better idea.

I don't think back acne has anything to do with it.  I got that too during pregnancy..darned hormones, and now am 5 month post partum and it still hasn't completely cleared up.  I am not certain if you are 36 weeks (as in your title) or 34 weeks (as said in your post), but there is a big difference there.  At 37 weeks a baby is considered term.  Lungs are developed and that is the important thing.  At 34 weeks, that is not always the case, and if your DR. thinks the baby will be born then, he/she will usually give you shots to help with lung development.  It is very very important to address any and all concerns of this nature with your OB.  Personally, I don't see any of these signs as a sign the baby will come early, but I am not a Dr.  Please talk to your OB.  Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy!!

It could be or it could not be! Sorry! When I was pregnant with Cruz (my second) I felt like I dropped really early and people would always make sure to tell me!  :(

I am not sure about the back acne that is new to me! Your stomach getting hard just might be from BH or your baby just filling up all the space!!

I hope you make it to at least 37wks! Hang in there girl!
