Hi, I am currently 39 weeks, and I have been getting tightening pains in my stomach, under my bump and down my lower back they last for a few mins and then disappear, also I have been getting alot of bowel movement about three or four times a day, loss of clear gooey discharge, amd my blood pressure has gone up slightly, does this mean I am in early labour or does it mean it will happen soon, I am due July 21st 2005. Baby is moving well, and I can feel babys head in my pelvis area moving side to side I think! Please help me I would appreciate your comments and advice, Thanks!

Those are the cla__sic signs that labour will begin soon! Frequent loose bowel movements, braxton hicks, back pain, baby's head down, etc. It won't be long now. Do lots of walking. I heard that walking helps the cervix dilate, because the baby's head stimulates it from the movement. Good luck. I'm so excited for you.

HI, I'm also 39 weeks, due the 21st also. I have had the same symptoms and yesterday my lower back started to ache. I went to the doctor's today and she said the baby's head has moved down but then talked about an inducement date between 41 and 42 weeks. I guess she doesn't think the baby's coming soon! Just curious if you know the baby's gender. We're waiting til the birth to find out.

Well I am due on the 26th and it feels like eternity. I have now dilated to 3 cm 70 % effaced. Last week I ahve been experiencing a lot of contractions I was so excited and eager to go to the hospital but guess what the pains stop, there was no pattern to the contractions. Well all I can do now is walk and hope that my baby come before the 26th. Oh I was told that when I feel the contraction that I must not lay down so it is my intention to do some rigid walking in the house.....to the new moms God bless and enjoy the experience.

I am due on the 26th too, but I am only about 30% effaced and that's it. I have a feeling baby will be later and my biggest fear is being induced. I have had some overall pelvic crampy feelings a couple times, but they go away after about 1/2 hour. *sigh*
