Ok, I have a couple questions.
First, I am 37 weeks and I find myself tired more than usual, is that normal?
Second, which contractions should i go to the hospital with, the one that hurt but I can still stand to walk and talk or the ones that make me cry and I can't walk through?

Oh also which other things should i be watching out for with labor, what kind of signs or symptoms?

time your contractions from the start of one, to the start of the next. normaly you go into the hospital when they are 5 minutes apart lasting 60 seconds long. if you find you cant breath your way through them and are just intolerbale, then maybe go in just to get checked. What for water breaking aswell, it can be a whole lot or just a little but if that happens go in anyways.

as for contractions, you will know. I know thats hard to believe but its one of those mommy instincts. plus compared to BH contractions you will feel like you are being toutured.

Ask your doctor what they want you to do about when to go to the hospital, every where is different. some will tell you to wait until they are 2 to 5 minutes apart....My doctor told me to get my b-hind to the hospital as soon as I feel a contraction because my mom had fast labors and I had a fast labor with my son....If I would have waited, I would have had him at home!! Second, don't wait for your water to break before you go to the hospital, a lot of times your water doesn't break and they have to break it, or it will break late into labor, right before you are ready to deliver.
