36 weeks and 1 day

Ay momshie, kaya naman yan at 36 weeks! Back pain at tummy aches are super common na ngayon dahil ang bigat ng baby at ang changes sa posture mo, pero important rin na ma-monitor mo kung paano exactly ang sakit. A few of my mum friends mentioned na nagkaroon sila ng lower back cramps na parang menstrual cramps, at lumalaki gradually, tapos umabot na sa front ng abdomen, yun na usually sign na labor is starting, lalo na if may discharge or parang tightening sensation sa tyan na tuluy-tuloy. Try gentle stretches muna at rest, pero if the pain gets really intense or you start noticing other changes like discharge or frequent bathroom trips, definitely check with your OB agad para ma-confirm if it's actual labor or just pregnancy aches. Better safe than sorry, especially this close na!
