Early labour signs

[mamayen]

I'm not sure if I'm experiencing them now or if they're just me being pregnant. This has been going on for 2-3 days.

I've been having radiating lower back pains. Menstrual like cramps on my inner thighs. Some abdominal pains. And braxton hicks that seemed to have become a bit more aggressive. I have been constipated as well with stomach aches. And when I attempt to poop, I get a shooting pain down my left leg.

Are these signs my little one is coming very soon? Is there anyway to relieve them? (Or do I have to just suck it up until baby arrives, lol?)

I also started fetal monitoring today. The lady said I was having a lot of contractions and at this point, they weren't going to stop them, lol.

I had that for a few days this past week and yet Im still pregnant 38+5...sounds like constipation/dehydration pains..or your body just prepping. I hate not to give you aanymore exciting news

You may also want to start using a laxative to clean out ur colon. Not sure if ur a ftm but after having a baby and being constipated is not fun at all its 10× more painful. On of my good friends said it was like pooping glass she couldnt of explained it better..(sorry tmi)..i spoke to my doc and she said i could start them now im 38 weeks 3days (That is something i found out the hard way)

I'm 37 weeks. I have been increasing my water water intake, so hopefully I get some relief. But no sign yet..

It could go either way, although increasing your water intake wpuld be a good test. It should help with the cramps and constipation either way, if its eliminated entirely then you may just be needing a little extra H20 ;) how far along are you ?
