Ok so im 39 weeks 3 days with my son, and i cant wait til he comes out, my midwife checked me last wed and said my cervix was still closed but ive been walking a lot since then, and that night around 6 i had what i am assuming was a braxton hicks contraction, and then i had another about 30-45 minutes later and ive been having them consistently since then, sometimes i will have one and then another about 15 minutes later but then wont have another til 30-45 minutes later, but im not 100% sure that they are braxton hicks anymore because they aren't going away when i change position or walk around or anything, they were not pain-full at all, but a few times since yesterday when i have one it hurts a little and its sometimes slightly hard to breath, starting at about 7 tonight my lower back has been hurting, nothing to bad but enough to make me want to move around to make it stop, ive been using the restroom a lot, most of the time its pretty loose stool, never really solid like before(sorry if a little tmi)also im not sure if my water is leaking or if im just peeing a lot, my underwear have been a little damp the last 2 days, but i never really feel any fluid coming out except for when im sitting on the toilet, i will go pee and then a few seconds later some fluid will come out and its really warm, it doesn't really feel like im peeing again, but im not 100% sure. Since my midwife checked me my son has dropped a lot, and when i slightly push on my stomach i can feel lots of pressure on my cervix, and when i walk or stand up there is a lot of pressure on my cervix. Do you think this is labor starting or just normal pre-labor pains/annoyances?
Also if anyone wants to know the 'contractions' last anywhere from 30 seconds to a little over a minute.
Im not exactly noticing fluid leaking, its just when im sitting on the toilet, a little trickle after i actually urinate.
Im not sure if my cervix is doing anything now, i will be checked again on the 3rd, but as of the 27th it was still closed, she didn't say if it was soft or anything, but she said she could feel his head.
