I hope its a sign of labor. Im having a tough time at the end of my pregnancy. Everyday I have horrible headaches and nausea and dizziness ALL DAY! im due june 3rd but the doctor wants to wait till im a week PAST my due date to induce. Im so miserable....
very well could be! you're very close!
I am 39 weeks pregnant with my first. Last time i was at the doctor she said i was 2cm dialated and 75% thinned out. Yesterday I guess I "dropped" and last night i was having menstrual like cramps also.....
Is this a sign of labor???
The doctor checked me at my 37 week check up to see if I was or not. they say in your first pregnancy you drop earlier than in subsequent ones, and that in the first it can be a couple weeks after you drop, but after the first you usually don't drop until before labor. But for me apparently that's not true!! I carried my first low the whole time, and this baby 'dropped' a couple weeks ago and keeps getting lower she's like in my lap when I sit down I have to open my legs to make room! If they are random cramps it is probably BH, I didn't have any with my first but a lot this time and they are constantly tricking me, some are pretty painful!
I'm only 36 weeks and this being my first pregnancy, I find everything confusing. It feels like baby has moved lower, but I don't know for sure. Everybody tells me that I am carrying "different and lower" I am also finding that I am getting random periods of menstrual like cramps that last for a minute, but I don't know if these are practice contractions or not. I also know that these things can happen weeks in advance.
I would be nice if you were a bit early as well! How do you know that you are 1cm dilated???
