early labor and delivery

[pokey]

how many weeks before your due date did you actually give birth? i am having some kind of braxton hicks contractions right now, but every once in a while it fells like the baby is moving down to take a peek outside!!!
i am at 33 weeks.

I had lots of braxton hicks with all of mine and they were all at least 2 weeks past my due date. I carried all mine low so I always had a lot of pressure in the pelvic area.

I had braxton hicks contractions starting at 6months with both of my kids. And BOTH of them were born a week late.

My daughter was 2 weeks early, thank god, she weighed 9lbs. 14ozs. and was 24" long.
My nephew was born at 26 weeks, he weighed 17 ozs. and was no bigger than my hand. He is now 17 years old.

I had braxton hicks 3 months before I was supposed to deliver with all of my kids. I had my 1st baby 3 weeks before my due date, he was 7lbs 15oz. Thank goodness he came when he did. He would've been HUGE

He was as healthy as could be too. Your body's just preparing you for the hell it's going to put you through

I'm just being honest

I had mine natural so I know what I'm talking about. I wouldn't have had it any other way either
