Im currently 36 weeks+5 with my first baby. Since yesterday, ive had a lot of pressure near my cervix and in my pelvis. I think the baby has dropped now because my bump looks a lot lower than before.

Ive also been having a lot of bowel movements (about 3-4 a day which is unusual for me, i normally have 1) so i think my body is clearing itself now. For the past few weeks, ive had a lot of discharge. It isnt my mucus plug though because it is not slimy, its more creamy and sometimes watery. Ive had irregular but painful contractions since about 34 weeks which ive been to hospital with and i have not dilated, and they havent become regular either so they were just Braxton Hicks.

Im very small (4 foot 9) and slim. I feel like my body is ready for pregnancy to be over.

Ive read online that these symptoms can occur a week or so before labour starts.

Do you guys think il go into labour soon, or can this happen at this stage at this stage anyway, weeks before labour? Im a first time mummy so i dont know what to expect but i have a feeling baby might be here next week.
