    36 weeks and 5 days
    Had "show" 2 days ago and been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions,and a lot of pelvic pressure. The hospital wouldn't check to see if I'm in early stage of labor or dilating. What's this mean?

    It could mean that your body is preparing for labor. This can happen around this time in pregnancy.

    Do you know how to time contractions? I'll help you if you don't.

    Hours? No. Days, maybe.

    Remember that walking and intercourse can cause bloody show as well as early labor.

    36 weeks is still a little early for delivery, so unless your cervix is dilated past 4 cm, you might want to take it easy.

    The docs told me to keep walking,or the baby will turn into breech,because I have a problem with my uterus. They were surprised I made it this far,I dropped at 27 weeks pregnant,and the past 2 or 3 days I feel like I need to push.

    If you feel like you need to push then you need to get to the hospital to be checked out.
