A sign of labor?
lani_vdwalt
Hi, I am 33 weeks today I had my 4D scans done last week and baby was licking herself ALOT. so I was wondering if this is a sign of early labor? or if its normal? I am a little worried as my 1st born was a month prem.

Licking is not a sign of early labor.

Totally normal. At 33 weeks baby is developing the sucking and rooting reflexes. So if an arm brushes her check, the mouth kicks in. :)
