    Question Coming and going pains

    I am 35 weeks pregnant and just wondering i have had alot of clear/white discharge! And now today i am having on and off pains like period pain very low jsut under my underwear line.. its not constant or any certain time apart but she is 4/5 engaged does this mean things are coming along.. or just another one of those things that just happen?

    thanks

    Its possible that its pre labour. But things might still be a long way off.

    i understand the discharge thing, i had to use panty liners for the last six weeks of my first pregnany, and i am already using them this time, its not very pleasant at all. just as long as it stays clear, non-smelly or not itchy, and it can lead to getting thrush easily, as i discovered the hard way multiple times last preg, other than that unfortunelty its just part of being pregnant.

    bubs being 4/5 engaged already is not really an indication of anything, bub no #1 did that at 32 weeks for me, then decided to flip back around to breech position, then went back to 4/5 at 38 weeks, but stayed there through my whole labour and was posterier, she never actually engaged properly and made me push her out the entire way.

    the pain though could be braxton hicks? some people can experience slight pain with them, does it feel like your stomach is tightening at all? mine were slightly painful and started about 36 weeks, they would make me have to stop and catch my breath. they can be apart of pre-labour, but that can unfortunetly last for weeks.

    I was also thinking the pains your are experiencing might well be branxton hicks...i had lots of these during the last 6 weeks of my second pregnancy and they were painful at times. It's your body preparing itself for when the big day does arrive.

    Goodluck for the impending birth of your little girl.

    OB said sounds like braxton hicks, they are still coming and going... some days they drive me insane but the discharge is jsut normal as far as normal goes in pregnancy...

    Wish she would decide she is ready to come out soon!

    Thanks for everyones help!
