Understanding Contractions & Early Labor at 35 Weeks Pregnant


Question
Hi, i am 35 weeks into my second pregnancy. i have been having off-and-on contractions for the last 5 weeks. I am 2cm and 60% effaced and having lots of pain and pressure in my vagina. Is this normal? How long do i have to put up with this?

Answer
That actually sounds rather normal. It sounds like your baby is already vertex and you've begun early labor. Since you're 35 weeks, you probably still have a few more weeks to go before you go into labor.

I recommend that you see a chiropractor. This can greatly ease your discomfort in the last few weeks of your pregnancy.

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)
