Am i in labor?

[Qicha]

I am 37 weeks today and my baby has been head down for two weeks and i have been dilated to 1 cm for a week. For the past two weeks i've had ALOT of pressure down low and had trouble getting around. Now suddenly i dont have any pressure after i went pee and it kinda felt like the baby was almost going to slip out and now no pressure and ive been having contractions off and on all day. Am i in labor or is this just normal at 37 weeks?

I think your baby is just dropping and sitting on your bladder. I'm 34 weeks and been feeling like that for the past week. It gets worse when my bladder is full. Had an u/s done and the baby is right on my bladder and since there is not much room in your uterus now you are feeling the pressure

Sounds like you could be in early labour! Keep your eye out and time your contractions. I was 1cm for like a whole month! But did get contractions on and off for 2 nights in a row! Only at night! It was sooo terrible!
