38weeks still close cervix (EDD dec 25)

Uy, sis, yan ay maaaring normal pregnancy pain, pero sa 38 weeks mo, mas importante na bantayan mo talaga! A few of my mum friends had back pain like yours na tumatagal, at isa sa kanila yung sakit ay umabot talaga from lower back to shoulders, parang Braxton-Hicks pero sa likod lang, hindi sa tiyan. Pero yung cold sweats mo combined with that shooting pain na kumukupas at bumabalik, yan is worth getting checked by your OB, kasi some moms in my circle na ganyan yung experience nila, mga ito ay naging early signs na ng labor na. One thing na na-observe namin: if the pain is rhythmic or coming in waves (like parang cramps), different from your usual pregnancy aches, then mas likely labor-related na, pero kung consistent lang at hindi regular, maaaring ligament stretching pa lang or pressure from baby's position. Kaya best talaga na i-call mo or i-text mo yung OB mo para sa peace of mind, lalo na with the sweating at the intensity, hindi masyadong common yun na pareho. Better safe than sorry, especially sa ganitong malapit na sa due date mo na!
