October mama’s when do we actually need to worry about going into labor?

Question

34 weeks yesterday! Second time mama but since my first labor was so fast I feel like I’m on high alert for labor signs.
I know we could all go into labor anytime but without any preterm risk factors... is there a magic week number where labor starts to become more likely? 
Thanks!

Answer

I'm 32+3 and we had our ultrasound yesterday. Baby girl is in the 90th percentile already weighing 5lbs 3ozs, the midwife told us that if we were to go into preterm labor she wouldn't stop it because shes big enough to survive.

Answer

Depends on everyone’s unique body and baby. At week 37 I felt confident that if it happens, it’s all good.

Answer

Generally after 36 weeks if you go into labor the hospital won't try to stop your labor. So that's generally when I start paying extra attention!

Answer

I'm 31 weeks and started contracting last night. They were 2-3 mins apart so they gave me a shot to stop contractions.
