Are these signs of preterm labor?!

Question

I'm a FTM and will be 30 weeks tomorrow. I know the baby is getting pretty big but I have a consistent urge to pee and feels like something is about to pop out down there if you know what I mean. My mom asked me today if I've dropped when I walked into her house so now I'm nervous that I'm going into preterm labor. Is this normal? It's extremely uncomfortable.

Answer

Nope that's normal. When you feel contractions ( a lot like period cramps at first) time them. When they are 5 or less apart and happen continuously for an hour your in labor. If your water breaks, it should be a clear liquid with some blood and have no smell or some woman have said it smells lightly sweet.

Answer

I feel my baby boy is low too, and I feel a lot of pressure when I stand but I'm not having painful contractions, no leaking, no bleeding, and baby is moving so we're good for now. 29w5d.

Answer

This is my 3rd baby. My baby is doing the same thing at 30 weeks. I swear at night I get up to pee at least 20 times because when I roll over or move at all, I feel like I will bust. My vaginal muscles feel like I am Carrying a bowling ball between my legs. I put a heating pad down there to help with the pain...

Answer

Sounds normal to me

Answer

I feel like that too but it's just my baby pressing on my bladder and cervix. When you go to your next ob ask them to check you out to see if you're dilated at all. Have you had any Braxton hicks?
