Body preparation for labour??!

I’m 33+1 today and I think my body is preparing for labour I’m not sure tho.. just a lot is different/changing over this past week so I wanted to get opinions on if this happened to anyone else before birth before(if so how long did it start before birth?) or if I’m not the only one this is happening too rn?!
- eating a f*ck ton more.. always hungry
- sleep schedule all messed up (wasn’t great before anyways) but I’ve been waking up at 5am n unable to go back to sleep then napping during the day(that’s new)
-bump has dropped lower than it’s been
- SO easy to anger rn🤦🏼‍♀️
-more dischargey
-going to the toliet (both sides) a lot more
I know and understand that everyone body in pregnancy and labour is different and you can’t put a time frame on when your giving birth so this post is probably useless anyways but this is the most uneasy I’ve felt the whole pregnancy. I hate not the not knowing as you can probably tell this is my first🤦🏼‍♀️
Any help ladies???

This is all normal in pregnancy/third trimester. It doesn't mean you're about to go into labour soon necessarily x

I’ve had most of these symptoms since about 16 weeks but I guess everyone is different. Since 20 weeks I tend to be wide awake from 2am and can’t get back to sleep. 5am wake up would be a luxury!

That's all normal for third trimester, not necessarily a sign of birth being near, after all you are just 33 weeks.

I’m experiencing a lot of these.

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
