whos the first?

So some of us from 33+to 35 weeks have been already experiencing contractions but nothing major or active. So congrats to those who've started and I hope you all have safe and fast labor. So who else has been having these symptoms?
I was told to rest  by my Dr after calling  about the painless contractions that were regular  and then having painful back and front cramping and some mild leaking. So iv just been on the couch doing little as possible.

That's just baby putting pressure. Contractions are like belly hardening  then  pain that gets progressively stronger and regular

I don't know what contractions feel like. I'm 33+4 and I'm having back pain and a stabbing pain in my vigina TMI I'm sorry. I am just unsure if it's small contractions or just the baby pushing on both areas. It's not bad enough to go to the hospital it's just annoying. What do you think? Contractions or mild cramping? FTM also.

I'll be 35wks tmr and been having strong but irregular contractions for about a wk now. Dr wants me to take it easy and not really do anything for at least the next wk so I don't risk pre term labor. He said once I get to 36wks I'm good to go! I'm ready for my baby boy to be here!

I'm at hospital right now on a monitor since I have been having regular contractions  and I'm at 33+2. I'm only 30% and 1. But having the contractions that's are kinda regular  especially  for this week now Dr wants to give me steroids shot just in case baby born early.

Been having strong painless, irregular contractions. My doc says because this is baby #4,  it's normal for stronger earlier contractions. 35wks and 35 days to go!!

I'm 36 weeks today.  I've been having cramping and backache too.  Found out yesterday that I'm 50% effaced and dilated to 1, but I know that doesn't mean much.  Also told to take it easy until 37 weeks.  It's getting close!
