Help! What to do??

I'm 37w5d and I keep feeling this pressure in the cervix (?) I guess, feels like something coming out, and this slight need to go to the bathroom. I now it's birth approaching but how just how soon? It's been a couple of days with this feeling everyday. My ob is on leave atm and getting checked in the er is a whole thing. Opinions please?!?!?!

Who’s your OBs back up? Like what do you do if you go into labour while they’re away? Surely not go to emergency. Call whoever you’re supposed to call if you go into labour to ask to be checked

@Jessica I don't have s back up :( she didn't leave a number for one

Call your OBs office and they can get you in with someone else

I would go to L & D just to be safe! At the hospital I was told if you feel like you’re going to 💩, then your baby is about to come out!

When i was pregnant i felt that pressure for a month before i gave birth the doctor said it was normal

I’m 37w3d and I feel the same, but mine is on and off everyday. Sometimes I even feel like the baby is pushing to come out!! I’ve asked my OB about this before and she believes it could be because of the baby changing positions or leaning a certain way, but scan show that baby isn’t in position yet - but is on their way there. No advice on what to do when I feel that way though 😓
