Keeping you and baby in my prayers. I am watching this after seeing the Instagram story about the condition with your liver has developed and obviously no one has commented anything about it which is strange because this video has been up for over 24 hours. It does sound like your body is getting ready to evict baby bear in the next week or so. I had never heard of it until just the last year when another KZbin creator did a video about it and how they had to induce her early to protect her and the baby. Sending you positive energy and many prayers for everything to work out safely for both of you. VirtualHugs. It’s ok if you don’t get everything done before baby comes. Ask for help from your family and close friends. I wish that they had all of those breastfeeding and pumping supplies at Walmart, Target and similar stores like that because I had to go to a lactation specialist at their lactation center to get what little I was able to get. I now know that the nipple shields would have been a game changer for our breastfeeding and pumping journey.

Definitely in the same boat as you. 34.4 and my body has just been blah. I actually got checked at my 34 week appt just because I was nervous for how much pain I was in when I did have discomfort randomly. Pressure, lower cramping, painful to where it’d stop me in my track, Braxton Hicks are more intense etc. I’m closed but my Baby girl has dropped so that’s good. To be safe, I’ve had my hospital and snack bag ready for a couple weeks now lol

Good idea to get ready sooner rather than later girl. If you’re having contractions now it sounds like you will go early. Better safe than sorry. What I’m anxious to find out if you pop with you’re water breaks like the other two. I hope you have one more baby. You’re an awesome mother. Willa is sooo smart for a 2 year old. You must really work hard with them at home. Great job. I’m so glad the coronavirus isn’t too bad there. That’s a godsend. I can’t wait for more updates and your birth vlog. Woohoo! I’m praying everything goes easy for you. And btw, you’re going to have baby bear fast. Maybe even faster than Willa so be prepared!! Good luck!!

Going through the same thing with intense painful contractions as well as cervical cramping. I’m about to be 35 weeks I know we are super close in pregnancy and it’s my third pregnancy (that has made it this far). I also have pre eclampsia, so I will be induced sometime within the next 2 1/2 weeks based off of my blood work. Side note: highly recommended ordering extra perineal ice packs from amazon they have the same ones the hospital has.

Those that you got look super soft and comfy and I might just hit up my local Target to grab some! I can't believe 35 weeks have already passed! Seems like it was just last month we were finding out baby was coming! I'm so excited that there's only a few more weeks! Willa, omg, she said she was gonna go hide!

The way I understand contractions, the initial ones are more toward the top and middle of your uterus. These contractions pull upward and efface your cervix. Eventually, when your body feels it's ready, it moves down and begins to dilate your cervix as well. So, they're likely getting things started. It's early but it's exciting!

I had super painful contractions at 21 weeks let me tell you that was scary. Got to the hospital they said I was dehydrated and drink a ton of water. They checked my cervix manually guess you call it lol then I had a ultrasound to make sure it really wasn't shortening and it was fine.I was sent home to drink water and the pain went away(thank God my real labor wasn't like that omg I was in tears in pain). Make sure your drinking tons of water (they told me 2L I should be drinking a day while pregnant) it sounds like how I was kind of but the pain radiated from lower abdomen up my stomach like bad diarrhea cramps. After that I had lots of Braxton Hicks (mainly tightening sometimes mildly painful up until 38 weeks 2 days when I went into full labor. Had my daughter 38 weeks 3 days). Take care Lex all will be okay

I swear it seems like we almost always have the same problems in our pregnancies. I have been having preterm labor symptoms since I was 31 weeks and I made it to 36 weeks yesterday on the 9th. I have also been dilated since 31 weeks only at 1cm still and my baby girl has been head down since then but after my appointment I had yesterday she is really low down so I think she has officially dropped although it isn’t quite as noticeable because I have carried her low throughout the whole pregnancy anyway. But I feel you on the contractions which started at 31 weeks. I have had to go to the ER like 3 times for different preterm labor symptoms but they never really seemed to concerned. I also possibly have a high leak going on but yet my fluid levels are fine right now.. But again people at ER weren’t too concerned when I Went about that. This is my first baby and I really don’t even know at this point if she is gonna come earlier or not.

Beings that its your 3rd baby, you could go into labor a little sooner & your delivery may be a lot quicker. It sounds like Braxton Hicks to me, but if they were hurting down below then I would be a bit concerned. Definitely would get to packing that hospital bag though because you just never know! You could see the contraction when you showed us, it made your belly more round again instead of pointing towards the floor. Im so excited for you! I can't wait to meet baby bear! ❤
