My lower back has been really sore and it seems that my baby has dropped

Hi, I`m 36 weeks and my lower back has been really sore and it seems that my baby has dropped. Im getting braxton hicks and my lower regin has rather alot of pressure on it. I am just wondering if these are signs that maybe I might give birth before my due date as i am hoping this is the case.

Answer: Hi,
Most pregnancies are very close to 40 weeks or 41 weeks. Try not to get too anxious that the baby is ready to come otherwise it can be a long wait. All the signs are there that your body is getting ready for the birth but more than likely it will be another 4 weeks at least. If it does come sooner it is a pleasant surprise bit you should still plan for at least 40 weeks or more.
Best wishes,
Alex
