Hi , I’ve been cramping consistently since I got 35 weeks. Like it REALLY hurts , but I went to the hospital yesterday and my cervix wasn’t dilated at all… is this normal ? They say my baby is healthy and everything is fine , but like I feel like labor is coming sooner than later. I feel like I’m trying to gaslight myself though… anyone else experiencing or experienced this?

Probably Braxton hicks

I had this at 35 weeks and at 37 weeks my water broke but not dilated. The doctors had to induce me as my baby pooped inside and was a risk of infection. I gave birth to a heathy boy at 3200g.

I started having Braxton hicks at 32 weeks with my first and again this pregnancy. With my first I delivered at 38 weeks so it lasted quite a long time. This go around seems way more intense and more frequent than I remember happening last time. If you’re not dilating I wouldn’t worry. It’s possible you could go into labor early but it doesn’t sound like you are there yet.

I also had the same experience as Emily. I had constant Braxton Hicks all day and it was painful (felt like cramping). I also believed labor was coming early because I was constantly having Braxton Hicks but I delivered at 39 weeks and one day.
