Sunday I started spotting brown blood along with having cramping in my abdomen and lower back that lasted all day (including the spotting)
Today (Monday) I have noticed a little less movement but she is still moving. On and off cramping but not as bad as yesterday and so far had to poop 3 times and it’s not even noon 😰
Could this be the start to early labor? FTM and I have no idea what my body is doing.
My doctor is off on Monday’s of course so I feel like it’s a waste to call the office unless I’m able to time contractions. I’m 38+3 today.

Sounds like labor can be near. Are you still getting the 10 kicks an hour? It’s ok to go in to be checked for less movement.
It’s not only time-able contractions, but they told me if the contractions became so painful I was having trouble breathing through them.
My dr ended up being off the day I delivered, so I had the on-call dr deliver my baby. I was so sad!

@penelope127, I wouldn’t say I’m getting 10 an hour. I thought as you get further along it was normal to not feel as much?
My cramping is pretty much exactly how my period cramps would be. They are painful but mostly just really annoying.

@sara672014, I’ve heard that people don’t feel as much movement. For me I felt more, I think because he didn’t have as much room to move.
You know how your baby moves, and if something seems not right don’t wait on being checked.

I’m going in for an nst just to be safe! My sister had a stillborn and it’s all coming back and freaking me out now. I feel her move just not that much but I would rather be safe than sorry.
