how long will it be?

I know every woman and labor is different but im wondering how much longer it'll be until my son decides to make his grand appearance. At 33 weeks exactly I started dropping, ive had to have contractions stopped twice, once at 27 weeks and once at 33+5. Yesterday I noticed my belly had dropped even more as it does daily and I dont think it can drop any farther and I also lost my mucous plug and had my bloody show yesterday around 11. Well later that afternoon I started gettin crampy and stay sick to my stomach and it has continued today. Im only 34+5 but doc says im measuring 2 weeks ahead and that he is a big baby and when I was in l&d last week I had already started thinning. So what do you ladies think??

I woke up one night to contractions, lost all of my mucus plug and bloody show from those, and was in active labor, so it's different for everyone, definitely sounds like it's coming soon, either way!

I also have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so I will be asking him but im just a nervous wreck today.

I know ive already been in the hospital 4 times but they cant do much anymore since im starting to dialate and thin out.. They said they dont know why I keep going into labor and that theres no much they can do if I start getting regular contractions again. I was just curious about some womens experience with these things and going into labor because im scared he's gonna try this week.

At this stage, baby still is premature, anything before 37 weeks (even if the baby is measuring bigger). If you get regular contractions or lots of symptoms of labor, you need to see your doctor, every week counts, and I've seen many babies have breathing issues born before, even some after 37 weeks.
