edited March 2011 in Third Trimester
Its been such a long time since I was prego. I am wondering if my cramping off and on all day for the last few days a sign that labor is not to far away? I'm 35 weeks tomorrow

  • Im getting cramping and pain around my vagina:/... Im 35 weeks too and.i wanna.know.if thats a sign of labor
  • Yea I know. Tmi but the vajayjay pain feels like I had rough sex. Its sore. The cramps feel like my period.
  • Have u.gone to the doctor?
  • I have an appt next week. She's doing to strep test then and I'm hoping she will check my cervix
  • U could be dialating. My sister was at a six three weeks before she popped... makes for a fast labor ;)
  • @mommy2audrey yea with my first I was at 2 a few days before I delivered and I was only in labor for 6 and a half hrs. I progressed to fast for an epidural. I hope if I am dilating its sorta slow till at least 37 weeks. I just want her healthy. I love the end when its exciting to see if you are dilating :)
  • Aww exciting! I wish my doc would check me cuz I think I'm dialating but I'm only 34 wks nd she wont check till 39wks! :(
  • Im 35 weeks and one.day and im.dilated to one...i want her to come already...i.have alot.of.pain in my vagina and shes super low and I havee alot of braxton hicks..how much longer do u think I have?
  • Im 35 weeks and one.day and im.dilated to one...i want her to come already...i.have alot.of.pain in my vagina and shes super low and I havee alot of braxton hicks..how much longer do u think I have?
  • I'm right with you. I'm 35 weeks today and have the same. We could make it to 40 but I'm thinking around 20 something of April :)
  • I want to have her asap though...i was in the hospital three weeks ago bc I.had a small leak..so I was given the.steroid.shots since I.was early...and then they stopped my contractions..and they said its.a possibility she will come before 40 weeks so I hope she.comes like this weekend....im gonna start walking alot and maybe take some.castor.oil bc I.want her here :)
  • Are you big? I wish I had steroids lol but I don't. Is this your first? Castor oil will just give you the runs. My friend used primrose oil on her cervix. I'm starting that next week
  • Umm im all belly and im carrying her like really low....and yes its my first....i.have everything ready.for her lol...so I.want her to.come out....what else.could I do to jump start labor? Besides walk alot....
  • I want my baby here lol but as soon as she is here the quicker she grows up. Lol I'm going through a hard time. My first is 11 and is turning into a teen. Its hard but I'm happy she is healthy
  • Lol I'm all belly too. Lol my midwife can't ever find her head cause its super low.

    Well sex they say is good but in my opinion if it was there would be lots of premature babies, raspberry leaf tea, bumpy car rides, sliding down the stairs, u can try castor oil but you will be in the bathroom.
  • Me too..im glad my baby is healthy but im.just ready to have her....
  • Nipple stimulation and pumping your milk,
  • Yea me too but I'm to scared to have her before 37 weeks cause I didn't get reassuring steroids lol :)
  • aww I dont want the runs lol....and since I got the steroid shots...they said if I go into labor now they are.not.gonna.try to stop it since im already 35 weeks....but arent babies born.at 35 36 and 37.weeks healthy?
  • Without steroids they can have problems. 37 weeks is considered term. But any baby even at 40 weeks can have problems
  • But since.i got those shots..i should be fine right? Bc shes already almost 7 pounds
  • Yea I think so. They help make the baby bigger and lungs mature. She may need a little help but probably not nicu help.
  • That's exciting to be able to have your baby so soon :)
  • Ohh I see...yea im hoping she will want.to come.soon:)
  • I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. I'm ready to have her also. I have hard period like cramps off and on all day. Doesn't mean anything g according to my Dr. They just said its braxton Hicks preparing my uterus and cervix for delivery. I started getting checked for dialation last week and will be every week til she's born. When I bend over I feel rectal pressure like they say you have when you're in labor. I was not dialated at all last week. Appt tomorrow. I have weekly sonogram BC high BP and we find out her weight tomorrow. Super excited. My husband and I have bets for her weight. 4 weeks ago she was 4.7 lbs. I'm guessing she is about 5.11lbs now. He says 5.7. We'll see.
    As far as going into natural labor I just Google's that yesterday LOL. Things thar help: sex- after he comes inside of you, prop up your hips so the semen can lay on the cervix. Also the more orgasms you have the better BC the hormones released. Also nipple stimulation. Said not to pump BC all you have is colostrum and you want that for when baby is born. Spicy foods and walking can help. And it said taking primrose oil also helps. Good luck! I'm waiting to see what my Dr says tomorrow and I may start all these. LOL :)
  • I would call the Dr and ask if its okay to try to have her this weekend though. Dud they do the strep test yet?
  • @jqualls are they going to do a csection? I wish my midwife would let me have my baby soon. I hope I'm dilating next week even though I progress very fast. I get pressure in my rectum also. But my daughter is moving more so I'm thinking April 23.
  • Have you guys had stabbing pain in your cervix? I'm sorta excited cause yesterday I wiped and there was a spec of pink
  • Yes I get.stabbing.pain in my.cervix:/
  • Me too. It feels like a knife.
