Early labor symptoms VS normal 3rd trimester symptoms
So, my first pregnancy I was induced at 21 weeks with my sweet angel baby Emma Rose🌹, and had never had Braxton Hicks or anything like that.
That being said, I am currently 32 weeks exactly with my rainbow boy Andrew Brian💙 and I started having Braxton Hicks contractions about a week- week and a half ago. I assume they are Braxton Hicks because they are not consistent and normally go away after about 30 secs to a minute or so. And some days I don’t notice having many, or any. I’m constantly out of breath and my back is hurting more and more lately, not to mention my emotions are EVERYWHERE (my poor husband😅).
Earlier today I took a bath to help with some discomfort and relax a little bit, and afterwards started the Braxton Hicks contractions. He’s also been very active and feels heavy. There’s pressure in my lower abdomen and my lower back is hurting still after my bath and after I’ve been resting with my feet up for about 30 minutes. And he’s still moving and pushing around in there like crazy. Also I feel like I have to pee more constantly today than normal. 🤷♀️
I’m just super paranoid I’m not gonna recognize the signs leading up to labor since I’ve never naturally gone into labor...and my doctor happens to be about an hour and a half away! So I’m praying he doesn’t come early! (I’m suppose to have a scheduled induction with him as well.)
Soooo.... Just wondering what everybody’s labor signs and symptoms were, and if all of this is normal this early on!
