Not used to this feeling of pressure/pain? ... anyone else?

[Ashley8806]

So I have never gone into labor on my own, I had a planned c-section with my first and an unplanned csection with my 2nd due to pre-eclampsia. But lately I've been getting some painful cramping & tightening (contractions?), they're not braxton hicks because I know those... but they are random, so not too concerned, I just try to stay hydrated, etc. But the past couple days I have so much PRESSURE down low and it feels like something's going to pop at any second. I guess it feels like my water's going to pop or something, I don't know how to explain it, but I don't remember it from either of my other pregnancies! Anyone else feeling this, or should I be concerned? I have my OB appt tomorrow afternoon so will mention to them also, I just keep having this fear I'm going to have another preemie and then this stuff started happening

I have no experience but good to ask your OB tomorrow esp cause you haven't experienced it with any previous pregnancies. not to scare you ofcourse but my best friend is 32 weeks and was having lots of braxton hicks last Friday (her bump was rock rock hard) and her water broke Friday night, so shes in hospital being monitored. Always a good idea to trust your instincts and get it looked at

Thank you for responding Xx It feels like my water is about to break just from pressure, but again I have no idea what that feels like, I just don't know how else to explain it. I will definitely ask tomorrow
