Symptoms

Nicole

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow. Been doing everything I can to speed up labor even though I know baby won’t come unless he is ready. Tons of walking and squating.

Anyway, the last couple of days I’ve been getting tons of Braxton hicks. Pretty intense and uncomfortable but never painful. Today I’ve gotten a couple but I’ve been having period like cramping in my lower abdomen and back. It’s lingering but not intensifying so I don’t believe it’s contractions. Also baby has been going beyond nuts since last night. He never moves this much . I know less movement is a cause of concern but what about this much movement along with the other symptoms? Is it something to go in for? Has anyone else noticed a more active babe toward the end?
