Preterm labor (please read) 😥 experience??!?!?

Question

I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second and I have been having Braxton hicks a lot the past 2 days yesterday they were every 3mins for about an hour then I went to sleep woke up today only had a few then this evening had some intense ones. I have had this really bad gut feeling my whole pregnancy  that I am going to have my baby boy early I always have a lot of pelvic pressure when I'm standing it feels like something's going to fall out !  I already have my milk in I feel like my body is preparing to soon. Any moms have these symptoms and had their baby early ? What can I do to prevent him from coming. I want him to be healthy and stay in there till at least 37 weeks

Answer

I suggest going to the dr to be checked. Don't let them brush you off. Actually have them check you to see if you are starting to dialate. I started having contractions at 20 weeks. I kept having a recurring thought he would come early. Sure enough I had my son at 29 weeks. He is healthy now but he had a rough start. If you think something is wrong tell your dr. I told mine but she said not to worry about it. Two days later I had him. So don't leave the office until you get a real answer.

Answer

Happens to me with my first and with this one but my oldest who's now 3 1/2 wasn't early this one I'm 35 wks on wensday but at 34 wks went in to early labor wouldn't dialte so they were able to stop my contractions one good thing is baby's born preterm have a high chance living then they use too

Answer

I have felt the same way since about the same time as you and now I am almost 32 weeks so just keep hoping he stays in. I just praying my baby boy will stay in. He has been head down for a few which and I have tons of pressure it constantly feels like I have pulled all the muscles in the vaginal area.

I'm scared to death of it too. My boyfriend just thinks I'm really paranoid. I started contracting at 22 weeks, and my milk came in a week later, I also feel all the pressures. I'm having a girl though, due August 19th. So far nothing's gone wrong. We're all just hyperdigilent about our babies because we have all these mommy worrisome hormones already lol. Talk to your doctor about it if you're worried, they'll just tell you it's all normal though.

Answer

Don't freak out about lactating. I started lactating at 15 weeks with my first and I started dilating around 31 weeks. Was induced at 34 weeks for different reasons. But I felt weird last night. Like what you are explaining. But I'm only 15 weeks! My stomach was so tight. Idk what contractions feel like because I never felt them with my first baby. So it's like this is my first pregnancy lol. But I always have "feelings" about things and they always seem to come true or at least half way true. So I can understand the freaking out! All I can really say is lacatation is normal in the middle of pregnancy.

Answer

I had my son 5 weeks early. I had no signs before my water broke.  I had Braxton Hicks my hole pregnacy and even now at almost 25 weeks I have then all the time every hour. I drink a tea called Red raspberry tea that helps.
