Hello po, ask lang po ftm po ako

Aww mama, ang dami mo nang signs na parang ready na ang baby mo! Yung kidlat effect (lightning crotch) and swelling ng private area ay normal talaga sa late pregnancy, especially kapag bababa na ang baby, it's just pressure from all that weight down there. The heaviness, the aches, parang labor-like feeling, honestly, 38 weeks ka na kaya any of these could be the real deal or just practice contractions, pero because you're describing quite a bit happening, I'd really suggest you call your OB or go to your birthing center just to be sure everything's progressing well and baby's in a good position. Better safe than sorry sa ganitong stage, no, wala kang mawawala sa check-up, at least makakatulog ka ng mahimbing knowing everything's okay!
