FTM need help?

[neeeeksx]

I am a ftm and 37+2 weeks pregnant and everywhere I read its telling me its labour starting and others its not I was just wondering if it is actually my labour starting...I have a increase in discharge, really sore bottom of my back, tightening in my stomach and yesterday I had to constantly go to the toilet to empty my bowels sorry if tmi but everywhere I read it says this is signs of labour starting then other pages say its not so I was just wondering if anyone on this would know?

How are you ladies feeling now? Im having more frequent bh contractions, more intense, constant back pain, not getting my hopes up but im hoping labour comes soon.. Im 38 wks today.

It can be a sign of labor coming, or it could not.  Its really impossible to say.  For some woman they go into labor shortly after symptoms like that, some its still weeks.  It is a sign that your body is getting ready, but that doesnt mean that it couldnt still take a few weeks.

so glad someone else is having the same thing as me right now & same many weeks :) how far apart should contractions be if labour starting? I have had no bloody show yet just increase in discharge

My symptoms are the same as yours! Im 37+5 and been like this for the past week or so, my baby is engaged and down low so i hope he comes soon .. Peeing every hour is so annoying lol

I'm having the same things at 37 weeks I was checked and seen by my doctor . There signs of labor but lose bowels can be anything really . Tightening in the stomach can be braxton hicks contractions . You will have to time that to see if it picks up and gets worse . Also increase in discharge can vary from different woman normal in the third trimester . Dont get me wrong they can be signs and symptoms but they will want to know of your having contractions or maybe any bloody show ? I was excited and thought so only ro find out I'm still 3cm
