Question! So this is my second baby. But for #1 I was induced at 39 weeks, had a few Braxton hicks here and there but nothing really painful and maybe 1-2 every few days. I'll be 37 weeks Thursday and the last few days I've been having painful contractions several times a day. I would 2-4 times a day I got through maybe 30 mins of contractions. I wouldn't say they are like the big ones I had during labor with my daughter but on a scale from 1-10 I'd say they are a good 4/5. I have also had a major increase in discharge. Soooo my question- is this normal at almost 37 weeks ? Is this a sign I may be going into labor sometime soon ? When I was included at 39 weeks last time I was not dilated at all- so I was kinda expecting the same thing this time. Anyways - just curious!
