Braxton Hicks are a sign that your body is gearing up for labour, it doesn't mean that labour is starting. It still could be 3 weeks before you have the baby, if you have lost your mucus plug then it's more likely.


Braxton hicks are irregular, to be in labour the contractions need to be regular and building in strength.


If all these things are happening then it would be time to call your midwife or doctor.


Good luck these are all positive signs.Is baby coming soon i am 38 weeks pregnant and need advice?
Backache or that aching heavy feeling some women get before their periods is a sign of labour but can also be your body preparing for labour. If you start having contractions or you lose your mucus plug or your waters break then it will be early labour but your not in established labour until your at least 3cm dilated so if you are in labour then it could still be a while before baby is born.





Remember you know your body better then anyone and there is nothing to stop you from phoning your midwife or hospital and asking them for advice.
you probably have braxton hicks if so yes the baby is coming soon
