Answer 1

You could be experiencing braxten hicks contractions.  Take a warm bath, or lay down and they should stop.  If the contractions are less than 10 min. apart go to your doctor first, and let him or her check you out.  heartburn is normal.  If you feel like you cannot take it and your doctors office is closed, go to the hospital.  I believe you are allowed one false alarm from the insurance company.  Better safe than sorry.  Good luck

Answer 2

I had a very difficult pregnancy with my daughter, morning sickness all the way through lost six stone in the end... hospitalised for dehydration. Gave birth at 34 weeks.  i had been in bed for a week hardly able to move back ache, cramps and one morning i got out of bed and all over the floor... 'splash'.  and phoned the midwife and she told me i had peed myself... helpful! but my daughter dropped right then and there. so it goes to show you that you can be about to go anytime but the little sausages can hang on when they need to until 'they' are ready.

Hope you feel better hun, put your feet up and relax.  Will come when it's ready and not a moment sooner.

Blessed be.

I Was that way with my first son. Theirs times when you just don't feel great at all and that's normal but i would really suggest going to the hospital just in case you are in labor normally your in labor for a good four to five hours if not longer, but go get checked and they will tell you if you have dialated any yet. GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

Reckon u should at least speak to midwife or go to the hospital just to check especially if you are having painful contractions already at 33 wks. Even if it has eased off today. Mind you I've been having painfully ish contractions for weeks, with period cramps and had a show at 34 wks, and now reckon i'm might go overdue! It all seems to have started then stopped as 1'm 38 wks now !

.   heartburn is normal. if u know of anything that stops heartburn please let me know ! the gaviscone doesnt stop it for me ,neither does milk, refreshers or peppermints. aagh x

Answer 5

Please get urself checked hun, i had similar symptoms with my daughter at 30 weeks and thought nothing of it. and 3 days later i delivered my baby.  

Answer 6

When i was pregnant with my son i had funneling of the cervix at 28 weeks and had to be on bed rest. I had a lot of what you are describing and they made me get a sonogram vaginaly and on my belly once everyweek. I then started shots once a week along with shots for his lungs incase he came early. I ended up stoping the shots at 38 weeks and the pressure just got worse and worse but i ended up having to be induced because then he didn't want to come! lol Everything will be ok. Keep telling yourself that and it will become true! Tell your doctor about everything you are feeling and hopefully they will get you the care you need. I have heard of people having the same problems as you and they went until they were 42 weeks! They main way they can tell if by doing sonograms and checking themselves. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 7

i am 35 weeks with third baby and have everything you listed above but i don't think its early labour signs its just late pregnancy symptoms i measure 2 weeks bigger also its just not a great stage (for me anyway) i am fat and uncomfy but it wont be too long now good luck x
