I'm honestly hoping labor is very soon as in the next couple days because when I walk it feels like im being kicked full force in the pelvis. I feel my hips have opened up and I know the baby has dropped into it because I can see and I can also feel him when he decides to move. Lately though my back has been hurting on and off and my belly gets tight sometimes is manageable and others I feel like i need to just rest but I cant because I feel like i have so much to get done. I went to L&D on Tuesday because my contractions got bad enough for me to have to stop and catch my breath every few min that night but they said im only 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced... if im feeling more pain than I was on Tuesday though does that mean labor is nearing?
