35 weeks pregnant and having a lot of cramps, is this a sign of labor?

Question

I’m 35 weeks pregnant & it all started yesterday at 3:00 I felt so sick on my stomach so I laid down and tried to felt it they kept getting worse, I had horrible diarrhea all day yesterday but nothing else besides the normal pressure down below. I am 2CM & 80% effaced and baby is fully engaged. Last night the cramps got worse when I went to bed and couldn’t sleep I had a lot of belly tightness with it as well, is this normal for 35 weeks? Also I’m at high risk for preterm labor :(

Answer

Only voted no because I dk and I wanted to see the results. I am 36 weeks + 1 and last couple of nights have been crappy and last night both hips hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep. FTM so all of this is new. He’s still moving like crazy and my guess is that he’s starting to descend, but i don’t think it’s labor. But I could be completely wrong too 😅🤷‍♀️

Answer

My baby was just born at 35 weeks. I started losing my mucus plug at about 31/32 weeks. I had been having Braxton hicks and regular contractions on and off with no pattern. The middle of last week my bowl movements changed , and then on Tuesday I had horrible back cramping that got better when I took Wednesday off of work. Thursday I woke up feeling fine , went to work came home and while I was watching tv my water broke. I was not effaced or dilated at all. Hope that helps!

Answer

Just left the Dr and he said it was completely normal and it could be a sign of early labor but he checked me and I’m still at the same!

Answer

This was me yesterday and last night. I went to the bathroom so many times yesterday & last night I had a slight back ache & belly cramping all night. I was so uncomfortable all night too but I’m not sure if it was contractions or Braxton Hicks or just plain cramping. Didn’t sleep at all 😩😩  I went to the Doc this morning & she said baby is engaged & my body is preparing for labor. I’m 36 weeks today. I still have very slight back cramping.

Answer

My first was born at 35 weeks with no indication labor was coming. My second, I had tons of cramps and contractions that would last 6 hours at a time and the pain would go down my thighs and back, but it would always eventually stop. Took 2 weeks to lose my plug and I had the 2nd at 38 weeks. Pregnant with my third and I've been dilated to a 3 for over a month and have loose stools and lots of pressure but who knows. I don't think there's really any obvious sign labor is coming unless water breaks because I was shocked i made it to 38 weeks with my 2nd when my 1st pregnancy it came out of nowhere.
