Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well and praying that you all have some wonderful last days of pregnancy and safe deliveries 🙏🏼

Lately I have experienced some cramping in my back as well as pressure around my pelvis and hips. It comes from time to time but especially since Sunday. On Thursday I also threw up and felt very nauseous until Friday evening. I had diarrhea the same day Thursday as well as Friday along with hot flashes. Furthermore I am experiencing pretty bad heartburn after eating.

They did measure some contractions when I went in for a check up Friday and Saturday, however, they did not do any vaginal check up (it was only to check that baby was fine since he has been a little lazy and decided to move less for some reason). I was told that those were just Braxton Hicks.

By now he is "fixed" with his head in position though. My EDD is Feb 18, so it wouldn't be too soon luckily.

I am a FTM and just unsure whether I should take these signs as labor coming soon within a week, or if this is also common several weeks before labor. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you and all the best.
