39 weeks pregnant, frequent braxton hicks and pressure in vagina?

Natalie D - 2009-06-02 17:12:03 - Pregnancy

I'm 39 weeks pregnant today and have been experiencing quite strong braxton hicks contractions. They don't seem to be in any regular pattern or anything but seem a lot stronger than usual (not painful just makes my stomach go rock hard). Also I've been getting the feeling of pressure in my vagina and the need to go for a wee but not actually being able to go. Is this a sign of labour? Thanks.

Best Answer:

When the pain comes every 5 to 7 minutes or less and last for about 1 to 1 and a half minutes, call your doctor and head to the hospital if told so. Keep track of time on the contractions. You'll know when its time I promise!! I was in labor for 22 hours!! Good Luck!!

Not positive but I think that when your stomach goes rock hard thats not usually braxton its a true contraction....and the peeing thing is possibly the babys head putting pressure on your bladder. Sounds like your getting close.
