Is my time is almost up!?

for the past couple days now I've had slight cramping with no leaking and she was moving a lot up until today.  She has been either in one position or the other. Tonight I have been peeing like a race horse and have been craving food like crazy. I also had the cold sweats and a lot of back pain today around noon. Does this means anything or am I just getting worked up? I only have 4 weeks left until my due date

I went in to L&D for leakage and contractions. Turned out to be small pre term contractions, felt them all in my back lower back even down my sides. I could barley walk because my pelvis and butt ache so much. I was given shots to stop the contractions and sent home. I'm 34 weeks and it's been about 4 days since I went to the hospital I still have contractions not as bad but they are still there, she told just because I'm having them doesn't mean he will come anytime soon. She also said because I'm tiny my contractions get stronger when my bladder is full. Due to all the organs and bladder so close together, it could be the same case for you if you're tiny. Try to make sure your bladder is constantly empty. Stay hydrated and rest. The closer you get the more your body will start preparing you

I dont think so because when I had my check up last week my doctor told me I could be going the full 40 weeks. But the only way to know for sure is if you get checked.

Could it mean that I'm going to have her early then??

What you are experiencing is so normal. I'm 36 weeks pregnant with only 4 more weeks to go as well. I'm having the exact same thing happen to me at the moment. I think it just means our babies are getting ready for actual labor.
