Okay so I've always heard that you'll know when youre going into labor, but, do you really know when your contractions start? I still have a little less than 6 weeks till my due date, but I've been getting cramps every so often, maybe once or twice a day. I'm scared that I'm gonna go into labor soon and I haven't even had my baby shower yet. I don't have my next doctors appointment until Thursday, but ill be sure to ask my doctor about it.

you probably just have cramps from the baby moving around But ask you doctor about it defiantly

what your probably having is 1 of 2 things.
#1 baby moving around and stretching
#2 braxton hicks contractions- practise for the real thing

either way make sure to ask your dr any questions you have

The cramps {contractions} began to come in a pattern... and they are nothing like BH contractions. They are a lot worse. They'll get closer and closer together, I really think that you'll know when it's "time". It doesn't sound like you're going into labor now but of course you should check in with your OB.
