size of baby?

I was just wondering if the size of my baby can be bigger then we think? I have sever pressure...down there. I am actually swollen and only 31 weeks. I'm also getting a lot of braxton hicks contractions that are very uncomfortable. and I had some wierd discharge (sorry TMI). my pelvis hurts too. walking is a project. I just feel like maybe I can be further along then we think. I had none of this with DD. I go to the OB on thursday.

TIA for any input

Are you sure that they are braxton hicks contractions? I would call the dr. just to be sure. I didnt even know I was having contractions (at 29 weeks) and it turns out that they were strong enough to shorten my cervix. Since you already had a baby you are probably better at telling that I am, but I would call just to be safe.

The symptoms you are describing started for me somewhere around 32-33 weeks and are getting progressively worse. Maybe these are starting sooner for you since it is baby #2 for you?

I was pretty sure until I got one that I felt come from my back. But it was only one so I didn't call the OB. I go on thursday and I'm going to tell him everything.

Try to get in to the dr. ASAP. Let them so a sono and check you to make sure you are not in labor.
ETA: don't wait until thursday. I went into labor at 34 weeks with DD and didn't even know it. Found out at a routine check up.
