  • Baby probably dropped.
  • @cetheridge thnx for replying I'm n do much friggin pain
  • Keep your eye out for regular contractions that can be timed .. ur body could still be adjusting and preparing for birth . When in doubt call your doctor and tell them your symptoms and see what they suggest .! Good luck girl!
  • @podgemarine my bfs aunt is sayn I cud b goin n to labor...I wudnt kno ths is ny 1st wat do u thnk
  • Well u could be. Pregnancy is really confusing sometimes because every body is different .. I have constant dull lower back aching and braxton hicks like crazy and its my first pregnancy as well. Cramping can be caused by dehydration as well so if I were you just time how often the cramps occur.if they seem to be consistent they would be labor.. if seem sporadic and inconsistent then more like braxton hicks. Like I said if u have any doubts it is best to contact a doctor because all I've got is advice but the doctor may want to check u out just in case so I would say give then a call, better safe than sorry !
  • I remember with my daughter (i was w wks overdue) I had different and more painful leg and back pains 3 wks before I went into labor. Take bathes and rest. Your body is preppin for lots of work! How exciting!

    It's not exciting lol its painful I can barely wlk ir stand up straight
  • im feeling your pain. my legs hurt like crazy alot.. the more i walk the more i have contractions. if i walked enough id probably send myself into labor.
    a couple of my friends said their legs started hurting like crazy right before they went into labor so i keep a eye on how often they hurt and if im having contractions around the same time
  • Well it is about that time the baby starts dropping. Which causes pain. I'm going through it now. Prob having braxton hicks as well as ur body trying 2 prepare your body for birth. But if the pain becomes intolerable... 2 the doc u go! Always better safe than sry.
