I was 10 days over due with my DD... never had contractions, dilated, thinned, NOTHING. My regular OB was on vacation and the attending came in and said he didnt think I could have children naturally and my DD's HR and fluid levels were low so we did a c-section.
I am supposed to be going in monday for my c-section for my DS. I have had dreams and this feeling that I wont make it to monday.
Lately, my hips are killing me... like I cant hardly roll over in bed and it hurts to walk, my feet are super swollen, even first thing in the morning (my BP is fine), my belly has dropped, and my stomach is getting super tight. And I have had some cramping in my lower abdomen (just like menstrual cramps). No bloody show or anything like that. My crotch feels like it is bruised (sorry if TMI)
My OB didnt know check me on tuesday (my last appt) so I have no idea if I am even dilated...
Are these symptoms of baby coming soon?
Quoting amy31308:
The tightening of your stomach and cramps are contractions ;)
Sounds like your body is getting ready!!
Congrats and good lucK!
I was told that the cramps would be higher... not so low??? And the tightening doesnt really come and go... or it might... IDK... it doesnt hurt like I would think contractions would...
Contractions for me dont always hurt...and are more uncomfortable. At least in early labor. and mine were lower. Every woman is different. Those could be contractions for you. It does sound like you could be going into labor!! Good Luck!!
