36 1/2 weeks and already feeling contractions?

Question

This is my third baby and I usually have prodromal labor for about 2 weeks before I give birth. (Regular Braxton hicks and 'labor' starts and stops)...
This time around, those symptoms have already started! Have any of you mamas experienced this? I want her to wait to come until I'm at least 37 weeks! She's already dropped (per my midwife) and I am having crampy regular Braxton hicks just laying here in bed!

Answer

Second baby here and my Prodromal Labor started at 35weeks.  I have had 3 start and stops at night over the past 2 weeks.  This baby is going up and down in my pelvis and driving me crazy!

Answer

I started getting cramps and pains at around 34 weeks, I thought she was going to come early too (since with my first I experienced 0 pain until I was in labor - but this pregnancy has been the complete opposite of my first so I don't know why I'm surprised) but I'm 37 weeks and going strong. So you aren't alone, you'll just have to push through the pain and hope she makes it full term.

Answer

Baby #3 here & lots of prodromal labor! Midwife informed me that baby is very low so I guess it should be expected. Anxious for this week's appointment so I can check dilation. 37 weeks today :)
