Hay mama, ganyan talaga ang uncertainty sa final weeks, nakaka-stress! But honestly, at 38 weeks and 6 days, please call your OB or go to the hospital now to get checked , they need to assess if it's true labor or Braxton-Hicks, and check your cervix properly since you're already 1cm dilated. Kritikal na ang stage mo and only your doctor can tell for sure. Siguro lang, contractions every few minutes na ba, or irregular pa? Either way, don't wait; our mum friends always say better safe than sorry sa ganitong punto. Your baby is almost ready to meet you na! Keep us posted, ha? Sending you labor vibes.
