38 weeks +4 days and having laber contractions

[Kyle_2015]

Is it too early for me to go into labor? I'm having contractions and only 38 weeks+4 days.

Yes they checked to see if I was dilated but couldn't find out how many centimetres I was on Wednesday my doctor said I was 1 centimeters dilated so ig it's just a waiting game now

Once you are 37 weeks its safe to have the baby because from 37 weeks forward their only duty is to gain weight

Did they check to see if you are dilated at all? Once you start things can change very quickly, within hrs, not just days

Thanks but ig my baby isn't ready yet my contractions are 13 min apart and I was sent home. So I have 9 Days to go and nothing.

My sister went into labor 37weeks 5days and he was born the next morning and he little man was very healthy, strong and perfect. Weight 7.3pounds was 48cm long. She was in denial that she was in labor because she still had 2weeks until her due date lol Sometimes their just ready for their entrance earlier :) Good luck xxx

It is not too early.  I know a few women who went into labor before 38 weeks and head perfectly healthy babies. Good luck and congratulations!
