So after being in my first child birth class i found out something...apparently the bone movement in my pelvic area ive been feeling and my hips giving out is my body preparing for labor...and im early on it. I was told that the movement is due to my muscles loosening in that area to allow movement of the bones. Some women dont even notice it...well most women dont...but im diffrent. After all i could feel when i started dialating when i almost went into labor at 26 weeks. So it doesnt suprise me that i can feel this as well. The class just confirmed what i thought it was all along. My bodys been "loosening and preparing" for about 2 weeks now. My baby dropped really low in my stomach, where im feeling acassional pressure (more often than before) in my lower stomach and pelvic area around 30 weeks. I have not had anymore contractions (except braxton hicks thank god) but after finding this out im waiting to see when my bodys going to make me go into labor for real this time. It was also confirmed this class that me having endometerosis before the pregnancy and when we found out, could be the main reason why my bodys trying to give birth so soon.
Im nervous bc even my guts telling me im gonna have a premi, but at the same time part of me is releaved that now i at least know what my bodys doing. Knowing that its already preparing me for labor so soon, will keep me from freaking out even if my babys a premi unlike at 26 weeks where i was scared shitless bc i didnt know what was going on or how to handle it.

@mcrowell0970 my contractions were painful but felt better when I was walking. They were worse when I wasn't moving around but felt like death when having them and couldn't get comfortable

@mcrowell0970 when i almost went into labor at 26 weeks the contractions were so strong they were in my back and i could barely walk. Talking was difficult but i managed small sentences as i focused on my breathing. I started dialating after just 2 and a half hours of contractions. I was freaking out for the fear of my baby being born so soon, but kept trying to focus on my breathing while they monitored me for an hr. When the contractions didnt stop they stuck me with a needle and made them stop, but not before i dialted a small amount. The contractions had been so consistant that it was about to force my body into labor. Which i could tell the baby wasnt ready for, and wasnt trying to provoke. Bc instead of my baby staying still during them like most women says theirs did, my baby seemed to get mad, and actively pushed back against my stomach trying to resist the contractions. It wasnt triggered by dhydration, so the only thing we figured it could be was endometerosis related. They gave me two steriod shots for the babys lungs bc im at risk for premature labor. The way my bodys been acting i notice a diffrence easily. Now im just waiting. Its been almost 2 months since the steriod shots for the babys lungs. If my endometerosis does cause premature labor and it waits until the end of this month i feel the baby will be ok even though itll be a bit small. Even so im hoping to at least make it 38 weeks before going into labor. Well have to wait and see what my body decides to do.

I had my baby girl in November at 35w3d, she is a late term preemie. There was nothing saying that she would come early so we were surprised and in shock. She was born at 4lb 2oz, 17in long My first was only 9 days early and she was 5lb 9.2oz
