tightness in belly, pressure on lower belly, no pain necessarily. sign of labor? due dec 18th

Question

i’m a ftm and i have been trying to sleep since 8pm but i have woken up to pee EVERY HOUR.
my belly is very tight and i have lots of pressure on my lower tummy.
baby was moving insanely right before bed, very low — i thought she was going to kick right out of my vagina!
could this be the start of early labor or no?

Answer

It definitely could be. I didn’t think I was in labour with my first for nearly two hours because I was having regular contractions that didn’t hurt and were just a lot of pressure. I had my son an hour after we realized it was actually labour. 
It also could be just BH. Drink some water, maybe take a bath. If it doesn’t stop then start timing them to see if they’re turning into anything.

Answer

I wouldn't think so, just baby getting ready and maybe some braxton hicks. Good luck on the sleep 😊
