Worried I am not processing like I should be
I am new here and this is my first baby. I am 37 weeks 6 days. Back in October I started to have braxton hick contractions and they lasted about 30 to 40 seeconds and my first ones were an hour apart. Then the next day I had three and they also were 30 to 40 seconds long and were an hour apart. But then I didn't have anymore till beginning of November and this time it was really strong and I had breathe through it and hold my hubby's hand it hurt so bad. First two that time were 11 minutes apart and last 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. And the last two were an hour apart again and really painfully that I thought I was for sure going into labor. But since then I have had contractions here and then every other week. They are painfully and lasting 3 1/2 to 4 mintues but back to an hour apart and I only have a few contractions and then they are done the rest of that day. My OB said that I have not diatated yet but at my last appointment she said that my cervix is lowering. Am I on the right track or is my baby going to be overdued. And what can I do to process things?
